Draughting
Accreditation
INTEC College offers you Draughting
training which is approved by the South
African Institute of Draughting (SAID) and is fully
accredited 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.
What is the South African Institute of Draughting (SAID)?
The SAID is a professional body which was established
in 1953, with the objective of improving the academic
and technical qualifications of draughts people.
Why register with the SAID?
Registering with INTEC and a recognised body such as
the SAID, together, 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 draughts people. This has
been made even more important for draughts people
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
The SABS Code of Drawing Practice is the standard
for draughts persons 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.
