Nigel Shipston started the topic TETA Moderation in the forum
Discussions on Assessment & Moderation 2 days, 10 hours ago
To all TETA accredited training providers, the policy is for External Moderation to be carried out on a quarterly (every 3 months) basis. This requires a minimum of at least one internal moderation every three months in order to apply according to the quarterly External Moderation requirements. This aspect is critical for re-accreditation, as…[Read more]

Nigel Shipston replied to the topic Validation of forklift license in the forum
Training Service Providers 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Hi Nonceba,
The required process is that the provider is required to train and assess learners, upload details and results to TETA, carry out internal moderation followed by external moderation to verify results. A provider may only issue a Certificate once the External Moderator has verified and endorsed the results in order for the Certificate…[Read more] -
Nigel Shipston replied to the topic The use and abuse of DHET, QCTO and SAQA Logo? in the forum
Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Can we include confirming with the relative SETA’s regarding use of their respective logo’s? Each has it’s own policy regarding logo use, some permit their logo use under express conditions while others do not allow use of their logo. It is recommended that any logo’s used on company documentation is permitted by the logo holder concerned,…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia, This is by no means a new phenomenon, I have been aware of this for the better part of 10 years, and certainly more so since moving up to Gauteng in 2012. These vultures are everywhere and still I encounter these issues on a daily basis. Just recently I discovered a character who is selling my materials but obviously does not have the…[Read more]

Nigel Shipston started the topic Selecting Consultants to assist with Accreditation in the forum
Accreditation Help Centre 4 months, 1 week ago
Opting to use the services of a Consultant when applying for accreditation with a SETA ETQA is often more convenient and efficient than doing so on your own. However, it is important to note that when choosing a Consultant for this purpose, ensure that they have relevant experience and contact with the SETA ETQA. Each SETA ETQA has different…[Read more]

Nigel Shipston replied to the topic DMA requirements for re-opening providers of OQSF programmes in the forum
Training Service Providers 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Yes Des, after all the far too belated concern, this crowning glory document is just further evidence of the gap between our operations and the understanding of the “authorities”. The content still relates to the other sectors with which they do have experience, but lacks any appreciation of workplace education and training processes. Clearly we…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Hey Sylvia,
No gender issue at all, we are all in this together. I just cannot stand by and encourage people to wait while Nero fiddles. None of the desktop demons in any of the authorities bothered about us while they resorted to petty issues that lacked any logic or common sense. Now all of a sudden they are knights in shiny white armour?We…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Hi Dave and Louis,
The way to go! There are already providers who have closed doors and quite frankly as long as you are responsible in your operations there is no reason at this stage for some “Johnny come lately” to tell you what to do.It is nice to be told to wait while SDP’s situation worsens. I have little faith in certain authorities…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Hi Lynel,
I have a number of providers who service, for example, mines that have been operational for some time already. There are a number of others servicing other permitted/essential businesses. No one has questioned these activities and in the light of not being directly specified in the Regs or any other Directive, it would require some…[Read more] -

Training Service Providers 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Hi Lynel, Agreed. The SETA’s are already under pressure and there is no way they could also address site visits to all providers to ensure COVID compliance. However, as many, if not most providers will be training and assessing on employer premises, they are already familiar with OHS requirements to which they are subject under the employers…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Hi Sylvia, I have to agree with you regarding the White Paper. Had DHET implemented the recommendations for Registering SDP’s it would have been so much better. My only concern with moving back to DEL is how many people are there now at DEL to take up the reins of what they started many years back? They are better suited to addressing our…[Read more]

Nigel Shipston replied to the topic Document to DHET – Why it is so hard to understand the SD sub-sector in the forum Post-school Education & Training – including TVET 7 months ago
Hi Sylvia, while there are concerns regarding all SMME level SDP’s, the scope of OHS training interventions, being of a generic nature to all industries, are contained within the scope of a number of SETA’s and not restricted to HWSETA. What should also be considered is the DoL Directive signed on 28 April 2020, COVID-19 Direction on Health and…[Read more]

Nigel Shipston replied to the topic Why is it so difficult to understand the skills development sub-sector of PSET? in the forum Post-school Education & Training – including TVET 7 months, 1 week ago
Hi Sylvia, excellent summary! Perhaps one of the sub-sector’s main problem is being located in a less formal situation than universities, colleges, trades and education. This is apparent from the DHET registration process where everybody else has been addressed, but private SDP’s are still to be addressed appropriately. It appears that the…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia, I haven’t had any feedback on this yet although I know of some who have applied. Sounds like passing the buck as a means of being selective as to who gets financial assistance.

Training Service Providers 7 months, 1 week ago
Hi Sylvia, unfortunately these communication channels, however well intended, create the perception among SDP’s that their input is either not required or is of no concern. Well intended ideas for inclusion are often mistrusted by SDP’s as a result of these perceptions, not to mention that most are currently scrambling for business in order to…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia, was that a rhetorical question? From my SETA, the only circulated Memo was the one regarding extension of scope, but it appears that without having been enlightened by QCTO regarding this topic, there was big debate about different interpretations regarding to which providers this was applicable.
Comes back to my previous comments…[Read more] -

Go Sylvia!
Know the feeling and this is not the first time. The last time I received a document from my SETA (as part of a comprehensive mailing list) for which I got chewed out for re-distributing. I don’t recall getting any answer from QCTO when I pointed out that it had been distributed by a SETA already and in no way indicated that it was…[Read more] - Load More
