The National Certificate in Sports Turf Maintenance NQF Level 4 was developed by the Turf Grass Managers Association (TGMA, Gauteng) in conjunction with BC Sports Turf Skills Development, and is endorsed by the National body (TGMASA)

The qualification is aligned to international teaching standards in Sports Turf maintenance practices. It presents a challenge to individuals who wish to enter the Sports Turf maintenance profession, as well as offering a recognized qualification endorsed by the TGMASA to existing Sports Turf Technicians as well as Managers.

On completion of the qualification an individual will receive the TGMASA certificate. There is also an option, on enrolment, to receive a Level 4 SAQA (South African Qualification Authority) certificate issued through Agri-SETA.

The qualification can be targeted to a wide spectrum of Sports Turf disciplines that includes cricket, horseracing, field sports and bowling greens.
