Why Is Bellview Institute Of Distance Learning Not Registered With The Department Of Higher Education?
From August 2016 to February 2020 it was a requirement for the accreditation of TVET and FET Private Colleges that they must register with the Department of Higher Education. This requirement was communicated in the Joint Communique 1 of 2016. Which was the reversal of the opposite position from 2012.
This requirement from the Joint Communique 1 of 2016 was revoked in Communique 01 of 2020, which was published in the Government Gazette of 7 February 2020, by the Director-General: Higher Education, Mr. GF Qonde.
As per point 4.1 in the Government Gazette of 7 February 2020, Private Colleges “are no longer required to lodge applications for registration with (the) Department (of Higher Education) as private colleges or private higher education institutions as contemplated in the Joint Comuniqué 1 of 2016.”
Today Private Colleges cannot apply to register with the DHET. Because that accreditation process no longer exists.
Colleges that were accredited by the DHET in the past, retain that accreditation until the date that the accreditation reaches its normal expiry date (usually three to five years after the accreditation was given). And then that accreditation will expire and cannot be renewed.
The correct accreditation process as per the Government Gazette of 7 February 2020, is for private colleges to first get accreditation from the QCTO, and then apply for an Exam Number from the DHET Exams Division.
To get this exam number a college must pass the DHET Exams Division Registration requirements and a site visit from the DHET Exams Division. Once a college has passed, it is issued with a letter to confirm its exam number and its accreditation.
As per these latest accreditation requirements, Bellview Institute of Distance Learning has been:
- a) Accredited by the QCTO and;
- b) Accredited by the Department of Higher Education and issued with an exam number (019992110 / 1199995016) to offer the following NATED programmes:
- NATED Financial Management Qualification – 07-QCTO/SDP290618-2618
- NATED Educare Qualification – 01-QCTO/SDP290618-2617
- NATED Business Management Qualification – 01-QCTO/SDP290618-2616
- NATED Management Assistant Qualification Qualification – 01-QCTO/SDP290618-2621

What Is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a way for students to know that the course they are studying and the educational provider they are studying with, are both recognised; and that they both meet specific educational quality standards that are set by the relevant accreditation bodies.
These educational quality standards include things like:
- The qualifications of lecturers – ensuring your lecturer is properly qualified to lecture on a specific programme
- The quality of the institution and its services – ensuring the availability and quality of administrative support, financial viability, and proper infrastructure,
- The textbooks and study notes used by the educational institution – ensuring that the syllabus and unit standards are properly covered in the learning materials
- Quality of facilities – proper offices, furniture, exam rooms, a strong room with a safe for exam papers, and a safe working environment for employees
For a course to be accredited, it has to go through the review processes by different accrediting, examining, and registering bodies. This will determine if the program and the educational institution meet the specific quality standards.
Passing these review processes, site visits, and quality checks, means that a specific educational provider is now accredited to offer a specific programme, which is also an accredited programme.
The quality standards of an accredited course show that:
- It is nationally recognised
- It meets quality assurance requirements
- It meets an established need within an industry
- It provides good competency outcomes
- It provides a satisfactory base for assessments
Bellview Institute of Distance Learning is an accredited college because they have met all the standards and requirements to offer accredited courses.
Non-Accredited Courses
If the course you are looking at has no accreditation, the course has not been quality-checked by any external accreditation or registration body.
This does not mean the course is “bad”. It simply means that it is a short course or a provider programme. Such courses are developed by educational institutions where they see a need for such courses.
In the case of short courses, there is no accreditation or registration framework for them. The quality of these courses depends on the educational institution offering them.
Often educational institutions identify specific training needs, the need for specific sets of skills, and they then develop a short course or a skills programme to fill that need.
When you are looking at the course information for a specific course you are interested in, then look closely to see if it is accredited or if it is not accredited. When we offer skills programmes and short courses, we always clearly indicate that they are not accredited.

Do Employers Care About Accreditation?
When you are looking for a job, employers will look at the learning institution you have attended. They do this to see if the learning institution is accredited by a reliable agency.
If you did not study at an accredited institution, employers will question the validity of your degree which could influence whether or not you get the position. This is because an accredited institution ensures quality education which employers value.
Can I Get A Job With A Non-Accredited Qualification?
Just because the course you have completed is not accredited does not mean that you cannot get a job.
Non-accredited courses focus on equipping students with specific skill sets. These courses are great for career development and even self-employment.
You will, however, not be able to apply for an executive position. Accredited courses are necessary if you can study for a professional qualification in your specific work industry.
