Skills Development Providers (SDPs) & Training Providers

Hi Taki – please don’t respond to me – book with the details on the attachment.
Thanks

I would attend.

Thank you Ken – yes level 1,2,3 First Aid training – not all OHD training.

Simphiwe, the problem is with the English language – it says
“issued by the” QA body – that is interpreted to mean there is only one.
But there are a number.
So the QCTO needs to confirm: who are the SETAs who are able to do the accreditation?

Hi all.
According to my understanding, this gazette only addresses the first aid training and not all OHS quals. SDPs must obtain accreditation with any SETA deligated by the QCTO that holds these unit standards.

Welcome to the 3 year cogitation.
While the rationale behind this pronouncement is severely flawed, in both concept and application, we must point out it does not apply to 𝘼𝙇𝙇 OHS training, but only First Aid training.
Your thoughts?

Hi Bernard – I hope I have done the right thing – now removed.

Please remove! I did not see your reply!

The LMIS helldesk is a waste of time. I suggest you write direct to Siyanda Dlamini, SiyandaD@serviceseta.org.za if you have no joy please escalate to head of department.

Thanks

Bernard,
My smile for the day –
Never mind we will persist & I am looking forward to Professor Stephanie Allais’ presentation this afternoon on:
“Supply and demand’ is an unhelpful notion for thinking about skills development: reflections from the COVID skills strategy”.

Sylvia,

A long time ago I made a similar proposal to the QCTO about the allocation of verifiers, the big chief had a look at it and then sent it to the people who could introduce it with a note that he thought it had merit and they should look at the implementation – from there it went to File 13 and disappeared into the information black…[Read more]

Thank you to Bernard, Sinoniso, and Colette & my apologies for the delay in responding.

It seems to me that we need very precise information on each blockage rather than just to use broadbrush criticisms of SETAs or the QCTO – or SAQA.

& maybe the QCTO should set up an online reporting facility:
Co name, whatever applied for, sent to, date…[Read more]

Thanks Sylvia for raising this.

Thank you for the clarification Siboniso. It appears that currently the last step in your process (step 4) has become a bottleneck as the QCTO is closing the loop to issue the Accreditation Certificate. One of the SETAs commented that of 50 applications submitted to QCTO, they have only received 1 back so far.…[Read more]

Good day ,

As far as I know the process is as follows.

– a SDP sends a statement of intent to the QCTO
– QCTO will send back a recommendation letter for the Qualification the SDP intends to apply for.
– The SDP would then need to engage with the SETA they want extension of scope from to request the relevant application form they need to…[Read more]

Sylvia,

I think the correct answer to both questions would be: Yes and as far as the delays are concerned, also yes. To this I must add an update: There has been an improvement in the process and one can get hold of the staff by cell phone.

Phineas Makhope says he does not find if we publish his cell number – he deals mostly with the ‘technical…[Read more]

I had just pressed the Send button when a caller asked me some questions which I could not answer.
1 Are the Skills Programmes registered? Yes they are registered on the QCTO website, HOWEVER they are not registered on the SAQA NQF list. As far as I can recall the skills programmes (or short courses) offered under the auspices of the SETA’s…[Read more]
