Leon Pienaar replied to the topic Occupational Qualifications Sub-framework Policy (OQSF) gazetted in the forum Quality Council for Trades & Occupations (QCTO) 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Hi Sylvia/Willemien,
Not sure what is meant by that, but someone pointed out to me this morning that the End Registration date on the Qualifications, Standards, etc. refers to the last date that a training provider can be registered to offer that Unit Standard, qualification, etc. – and the last date of enrollment refers to the last date the…[Read more] -

HI Sylvia,
You a star. What you say on the difference between enrolment and registration dates makes complete sense to me, but if that’s the case, the Circular is very confusing. In QCTO circular 1 of 2022 it states the end date for registration is end June 2023 and for enrolment end June 2024. Given your explanation that makes sense, they got the…[Read more] -

SETA ISSUES 6 months, 3 weeks agoNot sure if I’m posting in the right group, but here it is: Qualification 50334 have a core Unit Standard 114924 that forms part of the Qualification. I don’t get any feedback from ETDP SETA on what I must do. My registered learners must do that specific Unit Standard, but it expired in 2013 and still forms part of the core requirements of 50334.…[Read more]

Accreditation Help Centre 1 year, 9 months agoThanks Nigel. It seems like the bad guys with dubious motives are getting away with this until there is clear legislation on this matter. Will update you on the findings of the court.

Accreditation Help Centre 1 year, 9 months agoLesley,
I completely agree with you. It is however the “legislation” that you referred to that I am interested in. Apparently such legislation states that private Training Providers are not allowed to issue a certificate for a qualification, and are prevented from using the word “Competence” on any certificate issued by a Private Training…[Read more] -

Accreditation Help Centre 1 year, 9 months agoThanks for all the info. Really appreciated. Can anyone assist me on any article or regulations under the SAQA Act that specifically speaks to this, or even communication from any SETA in this regard? It seems that there is no proof of the existence of these regulations. Nigel or Sylvia, maybe you can assist. Thanks.

Hi Jacobus,
We had similar requests over the past three years for Learnerships registered with Services SETA and TETA. After contacting them with a request for extention, we were informed by both SETA’s that we do not need to ask for extentions, as Learnerships do run over 12 Months or longer. We did however submit a letter to them with reasons…[Read more] -

Thx Janelle. Unfortunately the TETA material comes without curr. strategy, matrix, assessment & modertion guides and I need to rework the material. Because of time constraints I’m looking for a reputable company that did all that work and can’t use the TETA material as is.

Currently the security watchdog is PSIRA, although SASSETA is in existence.

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 5 years, 12 months agoThanks Lynel. Please add the following:
If a private training provider status is in good standing for the past say 5 years, went through accreditation with five SETA’s, good standing with SARS and pass all verification visits, etc, why don’t they use that as a guarantee instead of a surety bond. That will also cut out the “shenanigans” as was…[Read more] -
