Hi James,
Co-incidentally, I was just writing that up last week & thinking the same thing. Did we get anywhere? The last I heard it was at NEDLAC.

If they were talking about moving back to 50% in this year, I would suspect that it was really hampered by being 4 months short of levies, as a result of the levy holiday during COVID-19. So that might…[Read more]

Thannks Leon and Willemien,
I’m posting on LinkedIn and the ASDSA Whatsapp. Tonight I picked up from LinkedIn this answer.
“You register a learner on a course. You enrol a learner against a standard.”
Now that is a bit confusing to me – can you expand upon that?

Registration can be:

Hi Des,
Thanks for your posting.

Hi Des,
Simulated learning is most definitely not permitted for all Occupational Qualifications – it all depends if it is possible. For generic qualifications, it makes sense. Each Occupational Qualification, whether it is generic, complex/technical, a trade or a part-qualification – the Curriculum Document guides us and gives a clear indication…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia
My understanding would be as set out by John in the response above. However what does need urgent clarification is the issue of the 4 forms of qualification you quite rightly question above also.
If simulated learning is permitted for all new OQSF qualifications then I perceive a real problem when it comes to practical application of…[Read more]

Hi Cecile,
I just want to clarify something. You are accredited for the Training and Development Practitioner (Occupational Qualification), did you apply separately for the Part Qualifications:
1. Learning and Development Facilitator
2. Assessment Practitioner
3. Skills Development Facilitation Practitioner
4. Work Based Learning and Development…[Read more]
