The CPrac (SA) designation is registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The CPrac (SA) designation focuses on the fundamental aspects of compliance and is awarded to candidates who meet the relevant knowledge and work experience requirements. The foundation of the designation is the 2024 Generally Accepted Compliance Practice (GACP) framework, King IV and Code of Ethical and Professional conduct​.

If you meet the eligibility requirements of knowledge, work experience and code of ethical and professional conduct, start your journey to the CPrac (SA):

3. Then UPLOAD these documents with your application:

• CV mapping document (see documents section)
• Your detailed CV
• Certificate of your highest, completed qualification.

4. Receive and pay the invoice. This application fee is non-refundable.
