Lynel Farrell replied to the topic SAQA retrench over 50% staff – State favors SAA over SAQA in the forum
Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 2 months, 2 weeks agoI am with you Des, we did not see this coming. I wonder if there are going to be retrenchments in the Councils and SETAs? I see in the news today, that SARS was not even able to pay salary increases, due to financial reasons.

Lynel Farrell replied to the topic Calls for Comment: on Deregistered misallocated Pre-2009 Qualifications in the forum
Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 4 months, 1 week agoHi Sylvia,
We all should be concerned. During the pandemic some providers also closed down. Hopefully, their learner data went through to the SETA(s) and followed through to the NLRD. It seems that some data is not reaching the NLRD – so in my mind: both learner and provider will be negatively affected by poor systems.Many certificates are…[Read more]

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 4 months, 1 week agoThankse Lynel,
Yes I am following along with you.My concern is whether there will be any learners prejudiced by the administrative incompetence of one of the institutions involved – or the provider.
I currently have an example of a certificate outstanding from MERSETA – 3 years ago the learner was assessed as competent.

Lynel Farrell replied to the topic Calls for Comment: on Deregistered misallocated Pre-2009 Qualifications in the forum
Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 4 months, 2 weeks agoHi Sylvia,
I believe that this is for Legacy Qualifications – the problem would be if the learner data wasn’t uploaded to the NLRD. This is why the QCTO requests learner throughput between 2018 – 2021. The Certificates would have been issued by the SETA.
If Providers are submitting that there are learners enrolled and/or achieved, and it…[Read more]

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 4 months, 2 weeks agoHi Lynel,
thanks for uploading – a really huge step by the QCTO.I noted that they are asking for learners who have completed & been found competent – but no mention of certificates.
Now imho that’s a very good move.
QCTO acknowledging the reality.Please, now convey that to the SETAs. If we wait for certificates we will be years behind.
