DHET updated List of Skills Development Providers (applicants) published 15 July 2019. Two updates in one month is remarkable. Things are happening! Thank you DHET Private Colleges Team!

Hi Sylvia, you are most welcome. It took some time to do, but I am very pleased that SDP concerns have been acknowledged. The charges that consultants are charging for one application between R50k-R70k is a shock to me. I hope that providers will continue to submit their applications, as this also shows that the provider wants to comply. The…[Read more]

Interesting discussion! According to the DHET, an Accredited Provider may only market and offer what they are accredited for.

1. The QCTO application for accreditation, will be dealt with in easy terms, and how an application for accreditation is compiled.
2. Discussions around moving from legacy qualifications…[Read more]

Thank you Laveen, my first workshop will be on the 19th July in Gauteng!
