Assessor Training Workshop:

This 2 day workshop is the SAICA-recognised session to enable a participant to qualify as a Registered Assessor for SAICA assessment purposes.  This session is presented only on an in-house basis and is costed as the same rates that NSOA charge SAICA for this course.  Participants will need to complete a Portfolio of Evidence (POE) after the course which will then need to be submitted for assessment.  NSOA has been working with SAICA since 2005 in the development and facilitation of these sessions and our facilitators bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the training intervention which will leave delegates with a solid grasp of the requirements for assessment.  NSOA has recently been appointed by SAICA to develop and facilitate assessor training for SAICA through to December 2024.

This is a two-day course. The cost in 2023 for this training is R42 000 (2022 – R 40 000) for the course and there is a limit of 25 delegates on each course. In addition to this fixed fee for the 2 day presentation, there is a further fee of R2 205 (2022 – R2 100) per delegate for the assessment of their POE.  These costs are exclusive of VAT.
