Charles Dey replied to Des Squire's discussion How can we be Proudly South African?"To repeat my suggestions:
1. Each of us should take another, at least once a day, to share with them something which can make their life better,
2. Each of us should partake in a community activity whose aim is to improve the lives of others
3. Each…"

Irish statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke once said that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Charles Dey replied to Samantha Schwenk's discussion Informal training providers vs SETA training providers"There is absolutely nothing wrong in that but if a person who completes the course with the non accredited provider wants to go on to acquire a full qualification which includes that unit standard they will not be able to have that unit…"
Charles Dey replied to Samantha Schwenk's discussion Informal training providers vs SETA training providers"Ja but, if Microsoft USA was the provider how could they become accredited, even if the unit standards existed for their courses? In other words (to the best of my knowledge) a foreign based provider cannot be accredited, or am I wrong?"
Charles Dey replied to Samantha Schwenk's discussion Informal training providers vs SETA training providers"Interesting Jared. We have been accrediting eLearning qualification courses with TETA since 2001."
Charles Dey replied to Samantha Schwenk's discussion Informal training providers vs SETA training providers"This is why it is incumbent on the HR Manager (or whoever is responsible for training) to thoroughly check out providers.
Remember (and we've discussed this at great length before) that accreditation does not = quality by any strech of the…"
Charles Dey replied to Samantha Schwenk's discussion Informal training providers vs SETA training providers"My understanding that an e-learning course (let's say Microsoft Office) offered by Microsoft USA is NOT accredited by a SETA because the provider is not local and neither is the course aligned to the relevant unit standards."

Charles Dey replied to Tholsia Naicker's discussion Seta accreditation policy implementation leaves providers with significant risks."Thank you Hannes. I understand what qualififications a course DEVELOPER and FACILITATOR would need.
My question is - the person at the ETQA who EVALAUTES this material for accreditation - would they, in your opinion, need to have some subject…"
Charles Dey replied to Tholsia Naicker's discussion Seta accreditation policy implementation leaves providers with significant risks."In your opinion Hannes, would a course evaluator carrying out the functions as described above need to be both a qualified educator AND an expert in the course being evaluated?"
Charles Dey replied to Tholsia Naicker's discussion Seta accreditation policy implementation leaves providers with significant risks."What is that SETAs want to do with learning material? None of them have any subject matter expertise (or the funds to pay subject matter experts) so what is it that they evaluate, exactly?"
