Colette Tennison replied to the topic Extension of scope applications – help with clarification QCTO process in the forum Training Service Providers 4 months ago

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]

Hi Sylvia and Lynel

These are not the final versions of the reports (hence the formatting issues etc.) but are for comment. A final version of the reports is still to be released.

Colette Tennison replied to the topic How do SETAs shift responsibility for administrative incompetence? in the forum SETA ISSUES 6 months, 3 weeks ago

Add to that the scenario where everything is completed by the provider but an unfixed issue in the SETA’s online system does not allow for the learners to be enrolled and submitted for exit moderation. Months of waiting for feedback from the IT assistance and the problem has not been fixed. Even a request from a SETA employee on behalf of the…[Read more]

Thanks Sylvia. This looks very interesting!

Hi Neil. The process differs slightly depending on which SETA you are wanting to apply to. The first step at this point, however, is the submission of a letter of intent to QCTO. Depending on the status of the qualification, you will then be referred to the relevant SETA and then follow their process.

Feel free to drop me a message and I’m happy…[Read more]

Hi. I would suggest trying to get in touch with Mohammed Lorgat (MohammedL@serviceseta.org.za) of the accreditation department at Services SETA. He should be able to assist or refer you to someone who can. Hope this helps.

Thanks for these Lynel. I shudder to think what new hoops the system will be forced to jump through under a new minister…
Colette Tennison replied to the topic Illegal Material – Plagiarism Rife in the forum Learning Material Development 3 years, 12 months ago

I think it is a very sad state of affairs. The other side of this is that those of us who are developers committed to integrity and delivering a high end product lose out as we cannot compete cost-wise. I am always very wary of so-called ‘specials’ on material, particularly for technical qualifications – it is not possible to develop it as cheaply…[Read more]
Colette Tennison replied to the topic Please confirm info from DHET in the forum Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 4 years, 3 months ago

I submitted my providers’ applications this morning. For those who are concerned about the process:
The address is 123 Francis Baard Street
Pretoria
0001

Once I had found parking (a stressful task in that area), I went to the reception which is on the left as you go in. If you ask for the Private TVET Colleges Directorate, they will call up for…[Read more]

  Thank you, much appreciated.

Hi Sylvia

I haven’t heard anything official in this regard. I will be at the offices tomorrow to deliver applications and will try to find out (and get it in writing if possible!).
Colette Tennison commented on the post, DHET Deadline is approaching fast – Don't delay! 4 years, 3 months ago

Hi Makhosazana. Unfortunately I can’t answer directly about NPOs but I do know that a submission has been made to the Minister by regarding the fact that only Pty Ltd companies can register and the negative impact that this will have on the industry. At this point my recommendation is that you compile and submit your application using your current…[Read more]

Hi Renee. You are right, Lynel and Nigel are doing amazing work! As Lynel pointed out on another post, you definitely still need to go ahead with registration as the consequences for not complying are major. There has been no feedback yet regarding possible extensions or changes so if you have at least got proof of submitting your application by…[Read more]

Nigel, thanks for your persistence in fighting on behalf of providers! Zalia, I have sent you a message as I will be taking a batch of applications from Cape Town to Joburg in the next two weeks.

Hi Tracey

I have used the Kaleidoprax English Literacy Skills Assessment (ELSA), which includes a numeracy component, and can highly recommend it. It benchmarks learners very accurately and is available in both paper and electronic formats. Their website is http://www.kaleidoprax.co.za/

Regards,
Colette

Hi Andrew. Check the date on the booklet – if it is the guidelines for application that I have seen, it is the same date as the application form (2008) and has been superseded by Joint Communique 1. I was in a meeting with the Monica Moloi from DHET Private Colleges department and it was confirmed that everyone – even if only accredited for a…[Read more]

I am going to do just that – I will be flying up to hand deliver all the applications. Thanks for the advice on receipts!

Hi Lynel,
I fully agree in terms of complying! The stress of doing anything else is not worth it. So long as they are actually accepting the application and issuing receipt thereof, we will forge ahead. I am going to take in my providers’ applications in person and will make sure that they are processed correctly as per Nigel’s response below.…[Read more]
