Dear Members.
This morning, I visited the QCTO to deliver application for accreditation files. As always the receptionist was friendly and immediately assisted me. Taking application files to the QCTO is also a very big eye opener. I cannot state the provider names – but I was so disappointed to see in what state the application files are being…[Read more]

Good Morning! The next 2 workshop that I will be presenting is next week 29th July in KZN as well as the 1st August in Bloemfontein. There are a couple of seats available. Although I have closed the booking date, I don’t mind giving it another 3 days for the busy providers that just didn’t get time to complete the booking forms! I am excited to…[Read more]

To Gauteng Group 1 (18 July) and Group 2 (19 July) that attended my workshop in Centurion, Gauteng. Thank you so much for being absolutely unique, participating and challenging me in the workshop. I enjoyed the workshops. A huge thank you to John and Engela (and your entire team) from Enjo Consultants that hosted me and looked after me these two…[Read more]

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. Only Sector Authorities and Councils have the authority to approve and accredit providers. You are correct in saying that you may employ or contract an individual (Facilitator, Assessor, Moderator whom have scope and…[Read more]

If the college is not on the Registered list, then the college needs to address this with the DHET (if they were registered and not seen on the register list) – perhaps they applied for registration and are on the List of applicants.

If the colleges are private entities, and have accreditation with either SETA and/or QCTO, they need to apply for registration to the DHET (this is not done automatically). If these colleges were on the DHET’s Registered list, and no longer appear there, it might be that the colleges did not submit their compulsory annual report submission to the…[Read more]

Accreditation is issued by the QCTO, but registration is issued by the DHET. The question here is whether these colleges are public or private (are they state owned?)

Dear Members,
Please note, that no further dates have been scheduled, and the current dates, have been booked according to the requests received from providers. The workshops are limited to a number of seats only!
