Marie Smith replied to the topic QCTO joint communique 1 of 2016 – Please attend to this ASAP in the forum Training Service Providers 5 years, 6 months ago
So should private providers (who provide only skills programmes not full qualifications and who do such training at the premises of their clients) complete the application form FPX-01 for registration as a private further education and training college, or is there a separate form?
For providers who are in the process of applying for accreditation…[Read more] -

Thank you, Kate.
Would be interesting to hear the views of experts on this forum, specifically statements as that in paragraph 48 – in relation to published QCTO qualifications. -

Bernard, I will send you the latest but I cannot guarantee that it is up-to-to-date as every time I submit an application there are some changes.

Marie Smith replied to the topic Services SETA backlog team issues in the forum Learning Material Development 5 years, 9 months ago
Cleo, sadly, some of the situations you are describing are true. ServiceSETA must be one of the SETAs with the clearest checklist. However, the new checklist is only passed on after submission of the materials for programme evaluation. Use the checklists sent out by the SETA when they advise that the online application is compliant (i.e. has been…[Read more]

Marie Smith replied to the topic SCAM ON LEARNING MATERIAL SALES in the forum Learning Material Development 5 years, 9 months ago
Pamela, the practice of SETAs requiring assurance that the rights to use of materials have been legally obtained is expanding. Both the ServiceSETA and the W&RSETA require an SLA, signed by BOTH parties, regarding the acquisition of materials. The MERSETA also.

Limbani, individuals or providers wishing to acquire learning materials do need insight into learning materials they intend to buy. It is, unfortunately a reality that there is an abundance of poorly developed materials out in the field, and many providers have burnt their fingers paying for sub-standard materials or materials that do not meet the…[Read more]

Funeka, in fact, the CD is easier to copy than a hard copy printed with a training provider’s branding.

Nigel, being reviewed by a competitor is a reality of concern. One of my clients recently received a call from a lady, informing him that they are assisting the relevant SETA with reports, and enquiring about the client’s accreditation status. She gave her first name and telephone number and said the accreditation consultant could call her. She…[Read more]

Belinda, I should have given more information in my firs post. The issue here is not related to the POPI Act. it relates to quality management system policies and procedures for accreditation and learning materials for programme approval.

In terms of the General Safety Regulations, employers are obliged to appoint minimum numbers of first aid workers certified by specific organisations (Quote below).

Marie Smith replied to the topic How can I trust training material? in the forum Training Service Providers 5 years, 9 months ago
Before making acquisition decisions, it is important for any provider to have clarity in their minds on:
1. What vision are you chasing? What legacy do you want to leave?
2. What objectives do you want to achieve – with what levels of skills do you want to send learners out into the field? That will build your long-term legacy or reputation.
3.…[Read more] -

Johan, good developers will always state when they quote that IF there is any remediation to be done, it will be conducted without further costs.
One important aspect that is lacking in materials that do not meet criteria, is the absence of a clear link that indicates where in the learner’s guide and the formative as well as summative assessment…[Read more] -

Jill, the SETA once again seems to have a backlog, for an unknown reason, and is taking months to process applications. Applications are placed in a queue and one has to wait, irrespective of urgency. They sent out an e-mail in September to all applicants whose applicants have not been finalised. It is true that they also changed the process for…[Read more]
