Hi Jacobus, you are most welcome. I posted this discussion in 2013. A QMS should be a guideline that give processes and procedures in order to set a standard. Some providers pay for a QMS, print it, and keep it in a cupboard to collect dust, and others make use of it on a continuous basis, which it should be. If you base your QMS on the old…[Read more]

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 2 weeks, 6 days agoI find it very interesting that the DHET have updated and published this list 3 times this month (February 2019). It is the first time since 2016 that they have done this three times in one month, whereby some months no updates were seen. Something is happening for sure! Watch this space!

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 3 weeks agoHi Deon, and this is exactly what we were discussing after the lunch break at the QCTO Symposium. Unfortunately, majority of the individuals that attended, left after lunch, which was a disappointment. We were divided into 3 groups, because initially we were 400 attendees – so the impact would have been much greater. In the past, there were no…[Read more]

That is an excellent question! My understanding is that the performance of SETAs is complicated. It doesn’t start nor stop at HR level. The number of factors that influence performance is massive such as: new/amended legislations, SETA constitution, transformation in the sector(s), economy, composition of boards, regular democratic municipal…[Read more]

All SETA staff should definitely not be automatically transferred to the QCTO. If the person qualifies for the position, and believe in quality (not red tape and powerplay) then they deserve to be transferred. Many SETA staff is employed on contract basis – if they are not able to do the job, then there are other career opportunities for them, I am sure.

Hi Sylvia. Each SETA have HR Managers or a HR division. It could be that they are dealing with it, or perhaps negotiating transfers to different departments within the SETA? I don’t think we will get any information, it seems that this sensitive issue is dealt with, behind closed doors.
Hoping that we will see the outcome after the 23rd…[Read more]

A sensitive matter! The answer is unknown, and information of whether QA staff will transfer over to the QCTO or be retrenched is the biggest secret. One SETA staff member attempted to get the same information from their SETA head office, with no response. Then the same SETA staff member attempted to address this with the QCTO, and was referred…[Read more]
