Accreditation Help Centre 1 year 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 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 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.

Learning Material Development 2 years, 2 months agoI’m not sure how to address this concern, but I ordered learning material from an “apparently” reputable learning material developer already in mid December for immediate delivery (it was in stock). After months and lots of excuses, I am still waiting. Just can’t get the physical address from the provider to go there personally and see what is…[Read more]

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.

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 5 years, 3 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] -
