I could only find two skills programmes that included a proper curriculum document.

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 6 months agoHi Des,

I am not ready to give up yet. There should be something that can be done, it just takes a lot of time and effort to get there. Don’t give up. -

For as long as I have been involved with the powers that be at the SETAS, The QCTO, SAQA, Dept., of Higher Education and so on I can honestly say that very little has changes and that very few of those involved actually care what providers think. Nothing has changed where…[Read more]
