INTEC College offers you Draughting
training that is approved by the South
African Institute of Draughting (SAID)
and is fully endorsed by the International
Academy of Draughting − recognised leaders
in the Draughting field.
INTEC College has enhanced and adapted the learning material to
suit distance learning.
Draughting
Endorsement
What is the South African Institute of Draughting (SAID)?
The SAID is a professional body that was established in 1953,
with the objective of improving the academic and technical
qualifications of draughtspersons.
Why register with INTEC and the SAID?
Registering with INTEC and a recognised body such as the SAID
will assist you in today’s extremely competitive employment
market. More and more employers are giving preference to
members of the SAID. Members of the public may also contact
the SAID to check registration of draughtspersons. This has
become even more important for draughtspersons with the new
statutory requirements of the Engineering Council of SA (ECSA)
and the SA Council of the Architectural Profession (SACAP).
SABS Code of Practice
SABS Code of Drawing Practice
SABS Code of Practice is the standard for draughtspersons
in South Africa, based on international drawing standards.
Adherence to these standards will ensure that you’ll be able
to effectively communicate to any other person within the
draughting and construction fields.
National Qualifications are credit-bearing qualifications registered on the NQF
(National Qualifications Framework) and accredited by a Quality Assurance Body,
such as a SETA (Sector Education and Training Authority). A skills programme is an
accredited component of a national qualification.
Agent Programmes are programmes for which INTEC offers tuition, but where
INTEC does not issue the final certificate. The Agent body issues the final certificate
and manages the final examinations.
INTEC Programmes are INTEC’s own programmes that are not linked to the NQF
and are not credit-bearing. However, they are in high demand and carry the approval
of the INTEC Academic Board. INTEC Programmes fall into FIVE categories:
•INTECCareerProgrammes are INTEC’s own programmes that are designed to
teach you the skills and knowledge to succeed in a particular career.
•INTECCareerBoostercourses are continuous professional development (CPD)
short courses that help you add to your current professional knowledge in a
particular field, and hence boost your abilities within your career.
•INTECCareerStartercoursesare short courses that introduce
you to a particular field or career; and that offer you the opportunity
to explore an interest or a skills set without having to enrol on a full
programme.
•INTECJobCreatorcourses are designed to refine your skills in
a particular field of interest; to teach you how to make a living from
a particular skill, interest or hobby, and to help you start your own
business.
•INTECSelf-Enrichmentcourses are offered for self-enrichment
purposes. They will add value to your experience of life in a
particular chosen field of interest.

On completion of their studies, students undertaking an
architectural career are required to complete a minimum of
two years’ supervised architectural draughting experience,
prior to applying to SACAP for registration as a Candidate
Architectural Draughtsperson (CAD).
Once registered, candidates are required to work under
the direct supervision of a professionally registered person
(Mentor) for three years, in accordance with the
SACAP Practical Training and Examination Policy.
During the three years of Mentorship, candidates are
required to follow a curriculum, as set out by SACAP, and to
build up a portfolio of evidence, documenting the work and
activities that they have undertaken during this three-year
period. Monthly Training Records, as specified in the SACAP
Practical Training and Examination Policy documentation,
must be completed and submitted to SACAP on a monthly
basis.
The SACAP Practical Training and Examination Policy
document, outlining the curriculum and documents required
for record keeping purposes, is downloadable
from the registration section of the SACAP website
www.sacapsa.com.
After 18 months of practical training, and after obtaining
a minimum of 50% of the value units required, candidates
may apply to SACAP to write the Professional Practice
Examination (PPE). However, Candidates must complete
the balance of the Practical Training period of 36 months,
and obtain the balance of the value units required, before
the Candidate applies to be upgraded to Professional
Architectural Draughtsperson (PAD).
Note: Submission of drawings to local authorities, for approval,
may only be carried out by SACAP Registered Professionals.
South African Council for
the Architectural Profession

Why Should Students
Join the SA Institute
of Draughting?
• SAID is a professional, multi-disciplinary institute
representing all disciplines of draughting.
• SAID is the only institute in South Africa that is
recognised by both the architectural and engineering
statutory bodies, which control all aspects of the
architectural and engineering professions.
• SAID is recognised as a Voluntary Association by the SA
Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP).
• SAID is also recognised as a Voluntary Association by the
Engineering Council of SA (ECSA).
• SAID is the only Institute for the registration of all
disciplines of engineering draughtspersons.
• SAID membership has become a requirement by some
companies as a criterion for employment.
• SAID registers employees from some of South Africa’s
largest multi-national consulting engineering companies
and also the utility provider ESKOM.
• SAID has members who are employed worldwide — in
Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, France, Germany,
Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and
Angola.
• Registering as a Student Member is the easiest way of
obtaining membership of the institute.
• Recognition of your SAID membership is not only valuable
now, but will assist in your future career advancement.

AutoCAD Drafters are design professionals who use
computer-aided design (CAD) software for drafting
technical drawings used in the production and
construction of complex objects and structures. The
technical drawings that AutoCAD drafters create are
used in architecture, engineering, aerospace and
just about any discipline where something is being
designed and built. The programme provides you
with the relevant skills and competencies to apply
drawing instructions and use CAD-specific editing
and commands used for dimensioning as well as the
