Can I search by accreditation number?

Yes. The checker supports institution-name and accreditation-number searches, with optional province and qualification filters.

Does a public match replace direct compliance confirmation?

No. The checker helps with public due diligence and shortlist quality, but institutions and learners should still confirm live regulator or SETA requirements where needed.

Why include qualification filters in a legitimacy check?

Because provider trust and provider fit are separate questions. The best shortlist usually combines both.

What if the institution does not appear?

It may not yet have enough public qualification or profile data on Yiba Verified, or the search details may need to be broadened.
