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

Hi Des

Thank you for your input, however, this is a planning phase for us and it was my request to SAQA to follow a different route as the normal PB process and hence your 20-year experience, many many things have changed as you may know by now. As per your email to me – I did not give an overview of what will be covered but you are welcome to…[Read more]

HI Adel
Thank you for the clarity. As a very experienced SDF, Assessor and Moderator I am very interested in your initiative. I also have extensive experience with Professional Bodies.

I dont mean to be negative but the heading “finalising professional body” worries me.

Hi Shabalala, the application requirements are not that complex at all. The QCTO have a set standard which is far better than the SETA applications. The problem that providers have with the QCTO application, is the mere fact that they are so used to the SETA applications, that they assume that this is exactly the same (whereby it is not). The…[Read more]

It seems that the QCTO and DHET requirement was actually introduced to make the process long and eventually eliminate new and existing (particularly small) applicants. This red is gradually enhancing monopoly as it compromises emerging emerging service providers with the needed skill, experience, knowledge, and competence to add value in the FET…[Read more]
