Is cheating in an exam going to be an on-going problem? I first encountered exam cheats at school. Years ago I was naive to think that this does not happen when dealing with adults but was I so wrong. Over the years I have specialised in the area of distance learning and worked for many of the colleges in South Africa and abroad. It's an on-going battle!

What will happen to the Setas?

Every five years the training authorities, the Setas, come up for renewal. In 2004 there was talk of radical changes but in the end only two Setas were merged with others.

In October this year we will hear if the Seta system is to be adjusted slightly, or in for a major overhaul.

The Setas representing the financial, banking and insurance sectors were considered for a merger in the last shake-up and this possibility has been discussed this year as well.

If you're in Education, Training or even the business of education and training, does it not strike you as odd that although the market for the provision of such services is saturated, there is STILL such a huge need in all sectors?

For me the logic seems simple enough: 1 + 1 = 2 - need the skills, get the skills, use the skills. But why then, is this formula not so evident in the market place? Why is there still such huge gaps in the useage of skills? Is it a perception? What exactly IS the reality?

Hi all, its good to know that there is a whole new world out there to communicate with regarding assessments, POE's etc. I'm registered with INSETA and in the process of registering with Services Seta as well. If there is anyone looking for people to assess Portfolios of Evidence for Banking and Insurance or do examination script marking, please let me know. I find the whole facilitiation, moderating, assessing quite fascinating, it opens up new avenues for people who want to try something different from what they are doing, but also enhancing skills that they may already have.
