Hi Percy,
Yes, whoever spots it first is free to post.I must say that DHET officials have been incredibly helpful over the last few months – for example, this confirmation to me was late last night.

Skills Development Facilitators 2 days, 8 hours agoLooking through the other posts on this group and you can see all the frustration as SETAs were asked to extend the submission deadline – one by one. Some gave blanket extensions, others want individual applications. But we closed off at 30 June 2020.
Or did we?
There have been masses of problems with some of the largest SETaS – with software…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 1 week, 5 days agoHi Simphiwe,
Thanks for your post – you raise a very good question.I can’t answer but here we seem to have another one of those times when SETAs all do different things – and nobody ensures consistency. I would have thought that an essential part of quality is consistency.
So QCTO is responsible for all qualifications on the Occupational…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 1 week, 5 days agoHi Des,
Yes, the more I think about it the more it makes semse – we need to have all the educational institutions together – remember it is only since 2009 that we split off DHET from education.That’s working fine – but the workplace is another kettle of fish. This is one of those top down – or bottom up times.
Education is all set out from the…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 1 week, 6 days agoHi Guys,
Do I detect a gender issue going on here ;))- anyway I’m on the boys’s side.Really DHET has proved themselves unable to manage the situation. We can’t sit here while the economy plummets.

Training Service Providers 1 week, 6 days agoThanks Nathaniel your comments are very useful input to the whole picture. I will remember that.
Lynel, yes how will the DHET be able to follow the same model as the universities & TVET of inspecting for re-opening – they will be here for a month of Sundays – they do not have the capacity.
But following Nigel’s comment – I have been thinking -…[Read more]

Training Service Providers 1 week, 6 days agoHi Lynel,
Yes I hear you – but remember it is the DEL – then Labour that set up the SETAs – and the original concept of the Learnership – and understood the concept of Host employer.We certainly could have an argument about whether the SETAs have improved under the DHET.
When the PSET White Paper was issued in 2014 I really thought we had…[Read more]
