| SETA is an acronym for Sector
Education and Training Authority. With the
establishment of the new government in 1994, the
Departments of Labour and Education met to find
a solution to the lack of formal education
opportunities amongst the previously
disadvantaged population group. The industry was
divided into 23 sectors and each sector was
given a SETA. Over the years these SETAs have
bridged the gap identified by Labour and
Education. |
| |
Training courses carry weight because they
are accredited by SETA - an external body. |
| |
The company receiving training from the
training provider, can claim the expense back
from the Skills Development levy fund. |
| |
Learners who complete an accredited training
course are registered on the national skills
database (NLRD) and can work towards a full
qualification. |
| |
Organisations using accredited training
companies earn BEE points. |
| |
Training providers can use their SETA logo
on their marketing material |
| |
Accreditation gives a training provider more
credibility. |
| Diplomas and certificates have
been divided into the smallest possible
collection of criteria. This criteria is the
minimum standard that all accredited training
providers must adhere to. A unit standard is
awarded credits and is set on different levels
on the National Qualification framework. A
learner who completes a number of unit standards
through an accredited training provider can
obtain a certificate or a diploma. |
| We do everything you require for
accreditation (see Our Services page) |
| Your role can be as big or as
small as you want it to be. Some providers
already have most of the documentation; some
providers like to assist with the process; some
providers prefer not to have any part in the
process as it distracts from their core
business, therefore they leave it up to us to
finalise. |
