Des Squire replied to the topic Have you seen QCTO plan to revoke QA functions delegated to SETAs? in the forum SETA ISSUES 4 days, 2 hours ago
In the past 10 years I have not had any correspondence or request for input of any description from the ETDP SETA. The sooner they take away the QA function the better. However we then need to know there will be a definite improvement and how the QCTO intends engaging.

Des Squire replied to the topic Can SDPs living in another country retain registration status? in the forum Training Service Providers 5 days, 2 hours ago
I cannot say emphatically that the answer is yes but I can only assume that once all registration requirements are met and are renewed as and when required then there should be no problem. Transparency would be an important consideration, in that the provider should advise the relevant parties of their place of residence. I believe it is the…[Read more]

The NQF, Articulation, & RPL 1 week, 1 day agoHi jenny, welcome into the discussion even at this late stage. Nothing has changed as far as i know and the rules are there for the reasons as set out in the discussion. In essence we should be conducting some form of pre-entry or diagnostic assessment to ensure the requirements are there.
We complain about high drop out rates and bad achievement…[Read more]

Hi Ernie
See my response to sylvia. So what you were told is correct. The SETA you register with is the seta where the unit standards or qualifications you wish to assess are registered. -
Des Squire replied to the topic Misuse of the term Accredited/Accreditation in the forum Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development Practices 1 month, 1 week ago
Hi Sylvia. Following training as an assessor the Statement of results is issued by the ETDP SETA.
The qualified assessor then only registers with the SETA or SETA’s of their choice related to the qualification and or unit standard they wish to assess. -
Des Squire started the topic Misuse of the term Accredited/Accreditation in the forum
Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development Practices 1 month, 1 week agoSo many of our registered providers and others continually misuse the term accredited when referring to training. QCTO brought this to the attention of the delegates at the last QCTO workshop. There is not such thing as accredited training material, accredited assessor, accredited moderators or accredited facilitators.
Accreditation refers to the…[Read more] -
Des Squire replied to the topic Material development for QCTO qualifications in the forum Quality Council for Trades & Occupations (QCTO) 1 month, 1 week ago
If my understanding is correct, while there is no prescribed format laid down the intended content of the programme must be covered in full. However the requirements for the “External Integrated Summative Assessment” (EISA) must be met. QCTO lays great emphasis on the EISA but all other elements related to the Knowledge/Theory, Workplace and…[Read more]

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 1 month, 2 weeks agoHi Sylvia. Response from Food and Beverages SETA is that the QCTO has not given them any specific instructions regarding the changes. Food and Beverages SETA will be discussing the issue in the chamber meetings in an effort to resolve.

Des Squire replied to the topic QCTO Roadshow – my opinion in the forum
Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 1 month, 2 weeks agoIn my opinion no, not as yet. I am not familiar withe this sector so am unsure as to what qualifications would be involved. Once again this is an example of where bodies do not communicate and regulations that must be adhered to are implemented without consideration and without involving key role-players.
I will be attending some meetings next…[Read more] -

Des Squire replied to the topic QCTO Roadshow – my opinion in the forum
Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 1 month, 3 weeks agoHi Sylvia, you are correct. For all QCTO registered qualifications or part qualifications there would be a pre-RPL assessment to establish the Theory, practical and work experience components are in order and up to the correct standard. Once this has been verified by “whoever” then the candidate would apply for the EISA test.
Qualification we…[Read more] -
