Afternoon Jane,
In which province is the client situated?

Good Day Colleagues,

Please note that the above position has been filled. Due to the urgency factor all applications received yesterday were collated and sent to the provider who then shortlisted and selected their preferred assessor for this.
Thank you for the prompt response from interested parties.
In line with keeping our line of work…[Read more]

I am available to facilitate this. Pls send details to blackq@webmail.co.za for further discussion.

Will check the ASDSA, Sylvia.

Thanks Charles. I will check the site.

True, Graeme. I have lost out on a lot of potential contracts because I have refused to compromise. I suppose this is one of the ways our profession is undermined. Those that want to maintain professionalism will eventually leave the field and operate elsewhere.

For a lot of providers this is a money-making scheme. Pity there is no body to oversee this aspect of skills provision, delivery, moderation and ensures that professional standards are maintained. It’s a free for all! The next thing is that government will step in with regulation and no one will like that.

Des, I am in support of us setting guidelines, such as you have raised in your article. Otherwise we will be running around in circles until some civil servant sets guidelines that may not be suitable. 

Jacqui, an hourly rate is problematic to some clients as they do not want to be involved in monitoring the amount of time spent on work done for them. Most prefer to charge per volume of work [i.e. number of portfolios and whether it is full qualifications or skills programmes or even single unit standards].

I am in support of the charge on signing the SLA in 6 months and waive if there is business in that period. I have signed an SLA with one FET wherre they have a nominal upfront sign-on fee that is deductible on business conducted with them. The amounts can be negotiated with the client. As for the various charges per package, I have found that…[Read more]

Hi Dereck, Don’t you mean qualification 21780? What is the qualification title?

Hi Patrick,
Is this for registration purposes or is there an ongoing project that requires the services requested?
I am an assessor and moderator for both and would like to get more information before I can commit. You know the reasons for the caution, I suppose. What area are you operating out of?

Just downloaded the PDF and am going through it. Will definitely comment.

Hi Des,
Looks like, as you pointed out, a case of cut and paste from the provider registration process file. I believe there should be no other restrictions as an assessor and moderator can just as easily manage RPL. That is so because we have gone through the pain of getting registered as assessors, and moderators an all relevant aspects of those…[Read more]

Hi Mariska,
Are these skills programmes or full qualifications? Can I get a bit more detail [unit standards, names and ID numbers of the programmes, etc.] so I can respond.

Hi Wilma,
I am good for those qualifications. Kindly send me the details [need this for accreditation/assessment/moderation, where based, etc] to blackq@webmail.co.za.
Regards,
Themba

Christopher,
I also would like to know, same as Des before I send you my info.
I am registered for that qualification.
Rgds,
Themba
