Thank you Nigel. I agree decisions are made with the best intentions, by people well qualified in their own world – but without an understanding of the context and implications of their decisions.
Thanks for the Gazettes – have saved those.

Hi Sylvia,
Just as a follow on, it is noted that DEL (then DoL) were very accommodating regarding considering the number of training providers and SETA’s who held First Aid unit standards outside of HWSETA. It was a considered approach to amend the Regulation accordingly, bearing in mind that like a lot of OHS related topics, First Aid has a…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia,
These were the two original docs from 2016 and 2017. In the first one, HWSETA is stipulated as the SETA, but the amended version that followed in Dec 2017 after the meeting removed the HWSETA specific requirement and replaced it with a SETA holding First Aid unit standards within it’s scope. There are a number of SETA’s who hold scope…[Read more]

Hi Nigel thanks for that very useful clarification – do you have the Regulation or Gazette numbers?

Thanks Nigel for that very useful clarification.

I think the first issue is that the QCTO are ultimately responsible for all the accreditation decisions. They have delegated their authority to the SETAs, but that does not absolve them of all responsibility.

And secondly, your comments confirm again what I keep repeating – people in offices…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia,
The original reg stated HWSETA but was later changed by removing HWSETA and permitting accreditation by other SETA’s that hold First Aid unit standards within their scope. This occurred following a meeting with DEL, QCTO, SETA’s and training providers, where DEL was made aware that there were already hundreds of providers accredited…[Read more]

Have a blessed day.

Thank you Ken – yes level 1,2,3 First Aid training – not all OHD training.

Simphiwe, the problem is with the English language – it says
“issued by the” QA body – that is interpreted to mean there is only one.
But there are a number.
So the QCTO needs to confirm: who are the SETAs who are able to do the accreditation?

Hi all.
According to my understanding, this gazette only addresses the first aid training and not all OHS quals. SDPs must obtain accreditation with any SETA deligated by the QCTO that holds these unit standards.
