The questions schools and educators ask before signing up, and the ones we get asked most after they do.
Yes. Educators never pay, to register, verify, apply, or be hired. Schools subscribe; that funds the platform.
Most educators are verified quickly. Complex cases, foreign qualifications, recent registration changes, can take longer.
Your identity document, your teaching registration certificate, your qualification certificates and a recent police clearance if you have one.
No. Regulatory bodies remain the source of truth for teaching credentials. We confirm your registration is current and in good standing as part of verification.
Upload your foreign qualification evaluation alongside your qualification documents and we will take it from there.
Provide your registration details and we confirm the institution is real and registered. Each institution is linked to one verified registration.
No third party recruiters. Schools post directly. Educators apply directly. No middlemen, no commission, no off platform poaching.
No. The traditional 8 to 15% recruiter commission does not exist on TeachSA Connect. You pay your subscription; you keep every Rand of the educator’s salary.
You can draft positions, but applicants will only see them once your institution is verified.
Government schools and registered NGOs receive a 40% discount on Starter and Growth. Email schools@teachsaconnect.co.za with your registration details.
Encrypted at rest and in transit. PII is access controlled and masked in audit logs. Document scans are stored only as long as required for verification.
Yes. Audit logs on every move, explicit consent tracked at every step, right to be forgotten supported. See our POPIA notice for the full picture.
Used only for identity verification, then masked to its last 4 digits in all internal logs and dashboards.
