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

Hi Nigel, the QCTO have had some system problems over the past couple of days. They are working on it!

It seems the QCTO site is temporarily down, the letter should be up on their site when the 404 error disappears.

Thanks Nigel, I am sure that many providers were looking for this letter of intent!!

As a footnote, for those who are included on the DHET list of providers who have applied for Registration, your applications would have been pre-screened before being accepted. What this means is that if an OHS Report should have been submitted, the application would have been immediately returned. In due course, DHET will advise you if there…[Read more]

In order to see whether qualifications have in fact been re-registered, I tested a qualification, and it was. Registration Start date: 2018-07-01, Registration End date: 2021-06-30, Last Date of Enrolment: 2022-06-30 and Last Date of Achievement: 2027-06-30. What a relief!!!! Thank you SAQA and Thank you QCTO for making this decision, and…[Read more]

Hi Lynel

Don’t like to always sound pessimistic, but, been there, done that, seven plus years of correspondence and promises but nothings changed.

My hope is still that one day someone will take this seriously, but I am too tired to carry on on my own.

Thank you Sylvia, please don’t forget to add a DHET folder – there are documents that we might need to add! Looking forward to the Folders, this will be more user friendly for sure. Thank you so much.

Hi Lynel, yes agree – that is what we discussed – rather than a date order we will have SAQA, QCTO, etc. Once Alan has created it, then we can identify what we need to have available – appreciate your contributions.

Hi Andrew, then perhaps you need to take this up with the QCTO and SAQA, and include your SETA in the request, if your learners are not uploaded onto the system.

Hi Sylvia, that is a fantastic idea. Perhaps have sub-headings, to make it easier to find. Some downloads are current and needs to be easy to find. The time for sharing information, and keeping up to date is so crucial. I will try to post more information discussions at a later stage.

Hi Lynel, I have also been talking to Alan about changes to the Downloads section – so that we can create an archive of the documents that we look for on a regular basis.

Hi Lynel, no problem – it is a very good document so I also put it into the Training Providers group – I don’t usually duplicate documents because it becomes confusing for the search but it is a good document.

Thanx Lynel –

Concerned though about the ‘Secondly’ point. What about skills programmes and qualifications that ARE being used, but SETAs have never uploaded achievements to the NLRD. SAQA sees these as ‘No Uptake’ which is of course incorrect, and they will be lost to users through no fault of their own.

We as a provider lost a whole lot of…[Read more]

Thank you Sylvia, I tried to delete the one pager, and upload the 3 pages, but it seems that I did something wrong!!

Hi Lynel
Please see the attached file – this is the actual SAQA document which is a 3 page document and includes a very good explanatory graphic.

For those who cannot open the jpeg file, I have placed this now on a word document for you.
