Is SAQI membership only for companies?

No, SAQI membership is also open to individuals, schools, SMMEs and Special Interest Groups.

 

Do you have to be a member of SAQI to attend SAQI training courses?

No, in the interest of making quality principles accessible to all South Africans, SAQI courses are open to everyone. Nonetheless our experience is that after attending a SAQI course delegates want to become SAQI members as they feel the need to share information, network and communicate with the quality fraternity.
