Suzanne Hattingh replied to the topic CHE Accreditation: FAQs on essential requirements and costs in the forum
Higher Education and training 1 year, 9 months agoNo, you can’t be accredited for a qualification that is registered on the NQF under the name of another provider. There is no rule about the extent to which they need to differ. I have not dealt with a case in which SAQA rejected an application because the qualifications were too similar – but I would imagine that it could happen. You will…[Read more]

Higher Education and training 1 year, 9 months agoHi Susan
Thank you for a very insightful document. Can I ask you, is it possible for a Provider to be accredited for a programme that another CHE registered provider is offering? ie How different must your programme be from others offered in the market?

Thanks for the question.Yes, he would need to join the skills-universe – and then you would invite him on the system as a friend, and then you could invite him to the group.

Higher Education and training 1 year, 9 months agoHi Silvia
I have just discovered that a professional colleague whom I attempted to invite, is not registered on the Skills Universe database.
Would he have to join Skills Universe first, before being invited to join this group?
While this process should stand to reason, I am merely inquiring should there be a better or preferred manner of…[Read more]

The Board is an accredited ETQA (Education and Training Quality Assurance body) under the SAQA Act and thus a statutory body.
The SABPP was established in 1982, when the Board of the Institute of Personnel M…[Read more]

John Arnesen replied to the topic CHE & the UK programme accreditation by professional bodies in the forum
Higher Education and training 1 year, 10 months agoIn my opinion, in terms of the NQF Act Chapter 6 para 28, the QCs should consult the professional bodies with regard to qualifications in the professional bodies domain. This does happen sporadically but is not consistent. There are just over 100 SAQA recognised statutory and non-statutory professional bodies in SA and if the QCs consulted them…[Read more]
