DHET Deadline: COUNT DOWN: 34 business days left for SETA and/or QCTO Accredited Training Providers, nationwide (South Africa) to submit your application for registration with the DHET. Applications must be delivered in hard copy, no electronic applications will be accepted. It is compulsory! Last date of submission is: 30 November 2018!

Just venting a bit ………………… perhaps I should have not placed our fees for compiling the DHET application for accredited training providers.

Thank you Sylvia, please don’t forget to add a DHET folder – there are documents that we might need to add! Looking forward to the Folders, this will be more user friendly for sure. Thank you so much.
