Hi Nonceba,
The required process is that the provider is required to train and assess learners, upload details and results to TETA, carry out internal moderation followed by external moderation to verify results. A provider may only issue a Certificate once the External Moderator has verified and endorsed the results in order for the Certificate…[Read more]

With you 100% Sylvia. Regarding the task and roles as you mention I find the OFO’s are of great assistance in ensuring some form of standardisation. So in reality the Act and particularly section 20 (3) as you have outlined it, must be used as the guide and if the job profiles have been reviewed and the OFO’s incorporated we have a very strong…[Read more]

Des, My opinion is that unfortunately we have another one of those situations, where there is more than one answer.

Regarding formal qualifications:

You are most welcome Colette! Yes, I agree with you. Mr Lata is extremely helpful and always go the extra mile. I wish him all the best in these difficult times that we are all facing.

Thank you for the information Lynel. I am so glad for Mr Thomas Lata, he is the most helpful and kindest person. I am sure he will do a great job.

Perhaps one should try to work with departments and also be considered that they have also been negatively affected by Covid. There might be a delay in communication, as the departments are flooded by requests – there…[Read more]

Lynel,

It is very nice of the QCTO to inform the public about the hospitalisation of their CEO but they fail to attend to the complete collapse of their communication systems – paragraph 6.1 of the public notice states in bold letters that complaints should not be addressed to the CEO’s email address – because it is patently obvious that…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia, you are most welcome. We send our best wishes to Mr Naidoo for a full recovery.

Thank you Lynel for posting this important message.

I’m sure everyone wishes the QCTO CEO Vijayen Naidoo all their best karma, strength, prayers, duas, and puja.

We’ll be thinking of you Vijayen.
