You can contact Estelle van der Westhuizen <estelle@chartall.co.za>. they are excellent and also provide RPL option.

So glad you enjoyed this Annette. We sometimes forget how important these things (ARCS) are. So much can be achieved if workplace learning becomes habitual – amazingly even the managers can benefit.

In the event the seta does not offer sufficient funding to meet the minimum wage then the employer would have to make up…[Read more]
