Timeless Teachings in a Changing World
A SETA accredited training provider is a training provider that offers courses and/or qualifications within the services industry and that are in line with the relevant standards of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). This means that the provider has successfully gone through the stringent accreditation process set out by the SETA. Due to the SETA “stamp of approval”, SETA accredited providers are relied on to provide high quality, industry-relevant training and education within the services sector. Training received through a SETA accredited provider is also formally recognized throughout South Africa.
SETA accredited courses are courses which have been awarded a national recognition. This certification that is awarded to a particular person, course or company by the South African Qualifications Authority that allows them to offer courses which are outcomes based and works according to the specifications of the particular SETA. This means that we will have standard set of skills that we can define, teach and test. This enables a person to know, with confidence, that they are doing a course, or working through learning material that have been officially approved as suitable by the relevant SETA.The role of the accreditation is to ensure that the courses are properly structured according to the set frameworks, that they are presented in a recognised fashion and that they are evaluated and tested according to the guidelines set out by the SETA, resulting in a recognised qualification. Before courses were accredited, there were many fly-by-night companies that offered and presented bad courses that did not really teach any skills that fit into the skills framework of the country, and therefore not really adding to the required skills bases.
