Good day Lynne

I am embarking on QCTO accreditation for the above mentioned qualification and want to purchase Learning material

Could you advise who could assist?

I understand from the QCTO website that learning materials do not have to follow similar strict guidelines as when developing US materials.

Are there any guidelines at all?

Greetings,

I thought it was proper to acknowledge that I have finally got feedback from QCTO about my concern raised last week on the issue of delay and lack of response on our application for the letter of intent.
Time to move on to the next phase of the process.

Thanks,

Gillo

Hi Sylvia,
You are most welcome. I am an independent consultant, and I was able to register with the Information Regulator. All the information we work with needs to be protected.

Hi Lynel,
Thanks for this – very timely. Alan & I have been talking about requirements for skills-universe.

I have been thinking – if someone is trading as a Sole Trader, as many small training consultants do now, as the CCs were stopped –

– they would also have to register themselves as the Information Officer -even though it’s not a company as…

Lynel thank you.
I have not followed the registration of private colleges at all, so I appreciate all your explanation.

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) has issued an Amended Communique confirming that the department will no longer be issuing courtesy notices as reminders to private providers of the requirement for an annual report.

It appears that some providers have used a non-receipt of the reminder as grounds for an appeal against being…[Read more]
