Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA/DHET

Thank you Ladies, much appreciated! I think it does indicate that as an industry we need to recognise our place and stand for what we know is right. We have been like orphans sitting on the outside too long, and if we believe in what we do, then we must not only show it, but also be prepared to defend our position.

Well done!!

Well done.

Yay! Yay! Yay! Super well done!

To Nigel and Lynel,
Wonderful news from DHET Minister Dr Nzimande.

Now you can continue to encourage all skills development providers to register. We cannot allow a few dishonest people to damage the good work so many skills development providers and employers are doing.
The skills are so important for the national economic development priorities.

Hi Siphiwe,
Thank you for your support!
The DHET have already implemented processes to alleviate the situation, and obviously they would not have done this without the Ministers knowledge or approval. This is quite a substantial matter to consider and will obviously take some time to formulate according to legal principles, but clearly the…[Read more]

Dear Skills Universe Training Providers, what other issues do you have currently with the DHET application? We will be meeting with the DHET soon, and will address various concerns raised, and would like to hear from you!
Your feedback will be highly appreciated!
