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

At least DHET are taking note of problem issues, such as Trusts, NPO’s and other organisations not being registered by CIPC. Most of these organisations have a great impact on the societies within which they operate and need support in their efforts.

Thanks for the feedback Sylvia. I’ll post info in Skills-U if i come across something. And hopefully others will do the same.

Suzanne my apologies for delay in response – trying to keep up! I have just watched your excellent webinar & totally agree with your assessment of our challenge. I noted one of the people attending raised the question of how to deal with our backlog in terms of literacy. In the new week I will start a discussion on that.

In response to your…[Read more]

Thanks Sylvia, I found figures in the DHET Annual Report 2016-2017. Extract with link to full Report attached. Does the figure seem accurate? I thought it would be much higher.

Hi Suzanne,
I found this doc attached (page 5) – see what you think.

Thanks Des for these precentages. But what I’m looking for is the total amount in millions/billions?? that were paid to SARS by employers in the financial year 2016/2017 – or 2017/2018 if available.

Employers pay 1% of Payroll
Mandatory Grant = 20.0%
Discretionery Grant = 49.5%
QCTO = 0.5%
Sars = 2.0%
National Skills Fund = 18.0%
SETA Admin= 10.0%
Total is 70%

I received a call from a provider that I assisted some time ago with a verification, and she advised that she paid just over three times the fee we charge for compiling the DHET application, with endless probl…[Read more]

If you check out the qualification documents from QCTO, they indicate within the curriculum whether there are parts and which are considered parts. If there are parts, then you can apply for a specific part qualification.

Thank you Nigel, Do you perhapse know if the part qualifications are approved or in place yet?

Hey Fiona,
All accreditation applications have to be first routed through QCTO via the “letter of Intent”. QCTO will check the application to ensure that either the application is covered by a new Occupational Qualification or there is not yet a replacement Occupational Qualification to replace the scope of the programmes you are applying…[Read more]

Thank you

Hi
To my understanding – if you’ve already been registered with the QCTO you should apply through the QCTO.
If you have not been, you may work through your Seta directly.

Hi Lauren
For me being affected, I think will be less paperwork to get reregistered again every 3 years and fighting with a seta to get your reregistration report or any new registration report. I was affected by this in the past where I lost work because the seta took too long to get out the new report or giving me an incorrect report. So, for me…[Read more]
