Institutional Mandate and Academic Functions

African Institute of Engineering and Technology (Pty) Ltd operates as a private education and training institution within defined programme-delivery and assessment accreditation scopes.

AIET’s academic and administrative functions include admissions, learner registration, structured teaching and learning, practical preparation, learner-record management, assessment administration and student support. Programme availability is confirmed against the applicable curriculum, accreditation scope, approved site, entry requirements and intake capacity.

Provider accreditation and assessment-centre accreditation are separate regulatory functions. AIET therefore publishes each formal accreditation reference and its approved programme scope individually rather than presenting a single blanket accreditation claim.

Institutional Governance

Controlled academic, administrative and quality-assurance processes support institutional accountability.

Teaching and Learning

Programme delivery is aligned to the relevant curriculum, approved scope and learner-support requirements.

Practical Preparation

Workshops, laboratories, simulations, logbooks and workplace exposure are used where required by the programme.

Assessment Administration

Assessment activities are managed only within approved AC/TTC scopes and applicable QCTO or quality-partner requirements.

Real AIET learning

From community health outreach to hands-on engineering practice

These real campus images now show the story we always tell: AIET students do not just sit in class. They mobilise communities, build projects, practice with tools, produce work, engage lecturers and grow in spaces designed for learning, support and future employment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about AIET

How do I track my AIET application?

Open the Admission Tracker and enter the application number and private tracker PIN issued after successful submission. The portal shows the current milestone, documents, messages and payment-verification status.

What does AIET’s QCTO Assessment Centre accreditation mean?

It authorises AIET to perform approved assessment-centre functions for the qualifications listed in its formal scope, subject to QCTO and quality-partner requirements. It does not mean that every programme offered by AIET falls under that assessment scope.

Are all courses on the website covered by the same accreditation?

No. Accreditation is programme-specific. Admissions will confirm the applicable approval, curriculum, intake status and assessment route for the programme you select before registration.

Who issues occupational certificates?

Occupational certificates are issued through the QCTO certification process after the applicable learning, workplace and external assessment requirements have been completed and approved. AIET does not print or independently issue QCTO occupational certificates.

Can I study while working?

Selected programmes may offer part-time, blended or online arrangements. Availability depends on the curriculum, practical requirements, timetable and current intake.

Where is the accredited assessment address?

The accredited physical address for the current AC/TTC accreditation is 48 Woburn Avenue, Benoni, Gauteng, 1501. Any assessment arrangements remain subject to formal scheduling and applicable quality-assurance requirements.
