Role of Industry
Have now realised SETA’S cannot be left out the
process
Signing a MoA so ETQA staff can assist in drafting policies and procedures
Industry need to realise the requirements and
whether it can be done without the SETA
Would Industry want Cathsseta to assist?
Professional Bodies
The process for registration has been indicated as
follows:
Applies to SAQA for recognition as a professional
body and to have professional designations
registered on the NQF
Has the option to pursue international affiliation, but
must still meet local requirements
Works with QC(s) in quality assurance and standards
setting for formal qualifications registered on
the NQF
• In Golf as in life it is the follow through that counts!
