SAISTECH College, formally the South Africa Institute of Science and Technology (SAIST), is a private further education and training (FET) provider in Johannesburg, South Africa, founded in 2020. It focuses on technical and vocational education, particularly artisan and engineering-related training, alongside business and hospitality programmes. The college operates two campuses: the Ormonde Campus (Block E, Cronwood Office Park, 100 Northern Parkway Road, Johannesburg) and the Lenasia Campus (Block D, BBS Decor Park, 1 Jade Road, Anchorville, Lenasia); an earlier address at 36 Landford Street, Booysens, is also referenced online. The college is led by CEO Clement Fouda Effila, an engineer with an electrical and mechanical background, and positions itself as an alternative to traditional university study, citing strong employment demand for artisans. The official website displays accreditation-related logos, but no specific DHET, QCTO, SETA, or Umalusi registration number could be verified from the publicly available pages checked. Student enrollment numbers and total staff size are not published on the site. Given the lack of a confirmed, specific registration number, prospective students should independently verify accreditation status directly with the college or via the DHET register of private colleges before enrolling.
