Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 1 week agoHi Lynel,
Thanks for this. I have it on my to-do list to write out something like this, because the media only concentrated on the one aspect. Now I don’t have to – wonderful – an item off the list.I am going to copy this into the Private Providers Group because I can’t distribute just this item from our long discussion to all the members.

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 1 week, 1 day agoHi Sylvia,
Time is not always on our side, and to summarise Acts are no joke. We all interpret Acts differently. I might summarise an Act and take important aspects out, which I think is important – but to others it might not be relevant.
