If one considers that 150 hours is equivalent to 1500 notional hours for a year.
The average number of working days in a year is 260 (considering public holidays), the average number of working hours in a day is 8, which equates to 2080 working hours per annum. If one takes off the equivalent of 3 weeks holiday per annum (or 120 hours) then spend…[Read more]

Hi Lynel,

Thank you so much for confirming the QCTO status quo for Assessors and Moderators for me. You’ve saved me a tremendous amount of research time!

My advise to my clients is to always employ / use the services of Facilitators who have subject matter knowledge and experience and preferably a passion for the topic. They make the best…[Read more]

Hi All,

Thank you for confirming it Jenny. I prefer to hear it directly from the horses mouth so to speak so I’m very pleased they have confirmed what I understood. 🙂
I love this forum! It helps us to share knowledge and understanding.

Thank you for a great job with the site Sylvia!

The credit value related to the number of hours it would take an average learner to reach the required level of competency, where 1 credit = 10 notional hours of learning.

Hi Sylvia,

I have read the rationale, and as usual, it poses more questions than answers.

My interpretation is as follows:

1) Companies who have taken the 4-month holiday are NOT entitled to claim the mandatory grant (in terms of clauses 4 to 7 of the rationale, read with the Act).
The intention is possibly to provide assurance that companies…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia,

I understand your pain!
We get persistent inquiry calls at all hours of the day and night on weekends and at all hours of the night during week days, and even on religious and other public holidays – most often are from people looking for free advice. When I was still a little naive to this, I answered a call from a persistent unknown…[Read more]
