Hi Marianne,
With your current registration with the DHET, you will need to forward your report on readiness to Dr Buthelezi by the 25th May (this coming Monday). The report needs to include the 4 areas, as seen on page 2 of the communique (please don’t forget to submit this).

SDPs will need to start the registration process again with the…[Read more]

Hi Siphiwe,
This is most definitely not the plan/report that you send to the DHET. Only REGISTERED Institutions must forward a report to the DHET, whereby each point (a – d) on page 2 of the communication needs to be addressed. Please do not confuse the readiness of Skills Development Providers which falls under SETA/QCTO with Registered…[Read more]

In order to clean your offices and training venues, please see the attached Cleaning Procedures and appropriate disinfectants with proven activity to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19. Hope this helps.

No problem Sylvia!
Skills Development Providers are part of the PSET sector, and need to start preparing their workplaces and training rooms accordingly. The 4 areas stipulated in the communique on page 2 (a-d) is extremely important. I am sure that all providers are eager to open and start operating – but measures must be put in place first.…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia,
The report to be sent to the DHET is for registered providers. The deadline of submission to the DHET is by the 25th May, as stated in the Communique. I emailed DHET and requested if this should be sent to applicant providers (SDP) and they said yes. The reason for this, would be for the Guidelines that is found (refer to…[Read more]

Hi Laura, you are most welcome!

Together with the DHET Communique, they make reference to a website for the Guidelines for PSET Institutions for management of and response to the COVID-19 outbreak. I have downloaded the document for you. You will also notice that the document includes SDPs – so please save this document, and go through it.

Hi Victoria, please continue to follow up with the SETA. Remember, that their staff works remotely. Don’t give up, continue to engage with them.

I have given my input to one of the APPETD board members – hope it will help.

Thank you Sylvia, I agree with you. Attention should be paid to small and medium enterprises, freelance Facilitators, Assessors and Moderators. They might be small, but work extra hard to stay in business (giving their best). It would be devastating if the elite corporate providers set requirements, whereby the smaller providers would be…[Read more]

Hi Des,
I agree with you. I agree with Nigel too, whereby a huge issue is the practical component and assessment thereof (especially technical training). I have now read the points, and there are definitely more concerns to be added, especially for the smaller providers in various industries. I agree with some points, but not all of them.…[Read more]

Hi Peta, I am glad you want to get involved. I am not sure what APPETD requires, in order to post it on other networks. When I say I don’t have the capacity – it means, that if I post what APPETD wants and needs from providers – I will be getting calls, messages, emails whereby I will need to answer providers as the questions come in – and I am…[Read more]
