Greetings,
My experience is that many companies are not interested in sending people on accredited training.The PoE’s put them off (its too long and time consuming). These companies want quick fix solutions e.g. addressing Conflict in the Workplace. They are happy just to receive a certificate of attendance which can be used for Recognition of Prior Learning (if need be). Non-accredited training therefore still has a large market. Acccredited Training providers must obviously be used for accredited training requirements, but non-accredited training providers can still be used for non-accredited training situations discussed above. See http://www.tbasa.co.za.

Hi Itebogeng
I agree with those who say it depends, but really training is transferring skill so if u dont need the credit then why not train without acreditation. i had a fashion design school and i was not acreditted, i was fair to the learners and told them i am not acreddited guess what most learners today still ask me to continue as they gained and have thier own business today.Greetings All,
I believe that Accreditation as a Training Provider as well as the accreditation and alignment of course material to registered NQF unit standards and qualifications is imperative to ensure the credibility of a Provider and their course/s. There are far too many training providers offering less than adeqaute courses at exhorbitant prices. We need to have quality standards to work towards. If we are unhappy with the quality of current unit standards/ qualifications or the red-tape involved in the Accreditation process , it is up to us in the training profession to do something about it. We need quality assurance in S.A. to become ‘world class’ providers of education.

Just a thought. Why don’t we elect a government that believes in dignity for all, zero racism, respect and equal opportunity. Oops that may upset the unions and not be politically correct as we would have to scrap BEE, affirmative action and the Employment Equity Act. However we could entice South Africans of all races back who have skills and who are battling in other parts of the world. They could bring back the much needed skills and the desire to work, this would create about 5 jobs per skilled worker and the country would blossom. We could then lower tax as we have a larger tax base and bring about an economic revolution in Africa. We could export to China!
