Hi Lizeth
If the programme that you want to offer falls under the QCTO, then you apply directly to the QCTO.

Hi Sylvia
You are most welcome!
Instead of me answering, I have requested clarity on the last bullet point (page two) to Ishmael Mnisi (enquiries). Should I get a response, I will post it here.

If you have not received your response from the QCTO within 30 business days, then re-send your initial email (don’t forget to attach your letter of intent again) and email info@qcto.org.za

Hi Maphuthi
Go back to your first email you sent with your letter of intent to the QCTO and email it to: info@qcto.org.za

The turnaround time should be 30 business days – I have heard that the QCTO did have a backlog.
