Seeking Accreditation or Training material: 6 years, 5 months agoThe mother of all confrontations is looming across the board in this country as the general public demands government perform and the union movement prevents it from doing so. Buckle up!! Its likely to be a very rough ride.

Hi Joanna,
Not everyone will agree with this but I suggest the following if you really want to get your money:
DRAFT (NOT FOR IMPLEMENTATION) an open letter to the local press complaining about the unnecessary and sometimes fatal pressure this non-payment puts on the survival and sustainability of small business. In it you refer to the…[Read more]

It gets worse than that. Some years ago we developed a comprehensive end-user computing package, exactly to unit standards and with many user-friendly features, for use by the Services Seta in a schools programme they were piloting. Being completely generic and very learner-centered, we subsequently offered it free-of-charge and with no strings…[Read more]

I know it always sounds so negative and pessimistic when one reflects on the SETA movement. Your hopes are something that has been echoed on a massive scale countrywide for the past 10 years. But for a few pockets of excellence, the movement as a whole has failed. Its the usual combination of incompetence and divergent agendas. I fear we will look…[Read more]

Hi Selwyn, thanks and the same to you.
I am certainly not an authority on this but if my memory serves me, there were apprenticeships of different duration in the Construction Industry but the basic structure was the same. Typically block tech for three months each year (usually doing 4 subjects) and the rest on-the-job training and experience. At…[Read more] -

My experience with 5-year apprenticeships in the Engineering and Electronics fields in the late 1960’s was that they were generally held in high regard by both employers and employees because of their well integrated structure, substance, and assessment processes. I believe the same applied in most other industries. One has the impression that…[Read more]
