In my research on the QA challenges of private providers, the following SETAs were lauded for service ethic: ETDP, FASSET, MERSETA, AgriSETA, FoodBev, MICTSETA and LGSETA

The QCTO re-invents the wheel
Started this discussion. Last reply by Lenny Paltu Nov 17, 2012. 34 Replies 2 Likes
I have recently embarked on the laborious process of redesigning a curriculum according to the specifications of the QCTO. Mind-numbing to say the least. Basically it's a rehashing of what we already…Continue

This is exactly what the SAQA conference on articulation that was held two weeks ago aimed to address. The Minister is very keen to do away with these stumbling blocks, but the political will of the tuition providers is sadly lacking.…"

I believe that serious elitist attitudes prevail at the tertiary public institutions and these seem to be encapsulated in policy documents implemented by clerical staff who make the decisions at the coal face to the detriment of worthy…"

We hear almost daily of unaccredited tps being discovered and closed down, so the answer is no.
Training quality has, in my view only improved in private education and training where the throughput rate is about 40%…"

Am astounded!
Now I am a being that likes to take synchronicity into their being... I have been sitting here at my desk - frustrated and chomping at the bit - wondering what my next move should be career wise...
Could you use someone such as me within your environment? I am based in Cape Town...

Nigel Storm Shipston said… hi Jacqui, I'll be here.
I do most of my work with training providers in the field of lifting machinery, or forklift and crane operator training. This has proven to be a case of the blind leading the sighted when it comes to accreditation and quality management on the part of TETA ETQA, whose Management Information System has been out of order for nearly 2 years now. And just for a little interest value, this field is regulated by a Code of Practice that is far from NQF friendly, and is not properly understood by the ETQA personnel.
I think most of my providers would gladly assist in your research.
Nigel.
