Sylvia,

I think the contribution by John covers it all, I do not have anything to add. Best of luck with the final few words.

May I add my meagre contribution to this issue in support of both Mario and Renee.

One of the respondents mentioned in passing the possibility (?) of ignoring the SETA’s and the QCTO and re-establish something like the old industry training boards. As far as I know only in Mario’s case is there a legal requirement that forklift drivers, crane…[Read more]

Sylvia,

Thanks for the post. In all honesty, do you expect a reply?

I appreciate that the QCTO is (like the rest of the world) suffering from the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic but unlike the rest of the world they seem to have gone totally underground. Asking for the most basic of courtesies, i.e. acknowledgment of a submission, is met with…[Read more]

Mesdames,

Appreciate that it is a bit late to reply to this. Also appreciate all the hard work that had gone into this.

Unfotunately this problem has been coming for a very long time – even before March 2020 when the QCTO…[Read more]

Lynel,

You are 200 % correct about the issue register and congratulations on the work you had done and are doing on this issue. THe fact that you had assisted more than 400 providers should have set the alarm bells ringing at the QCTO.

I am not aware of any public space where such information is displayed – it most certainly does not appear on…[Read more]

Sylvia,

Thanks for the post – as Lynel says, it is important to all SDP’s.

Unfortunately it does not address the main problem emanating from point 4: All applications are to be submittted online! Once you submit an application you receive an undated, unnumbered reply from the system acknowledging receipt and indicating that a response will…[Read more]

Sylvia,

Short answer to your heading: Years and years of prectice
