QCTO DELEGATIONS ON REGISTERED QUALIFICATIONS All unit standard-based (legacy) qualifications re-registered on the 30 th of June for a further 5-year period QCTO endorsed a re- arrangements and delegated function on the followings: Delegation 1: Accreditation Delegation 2: Monitoring Delegation 3: Final Integrated Summative Assessment Delegation 4: Certification SETA Mandate: Workplace Approval
Delegation 1: Accreditation As from 1 st July 2018 all new applications to offer Historically Registered Qualifications and/or gazetted trades must be made directly to QCTO. A letter of intent must be submitted to the QCTO before applying to the QAP (Seta) is available on the QCTO website (www.qcto.org.za). The QCTO will acknowledge the letter and advise the SDP (Skills Development Provider - SDP) to either follow the QAP (SETA) accreditation process or to apply (through QCTO) for a registered Occupational Qualification which replaces the Historically Registered Qualification. The QAPs still continue with accreditation of providers for skills programmes including Implementation of learnership. The QAP (Seta) will complete/conduct the accreditation process and will send the outcome and recommendation to the QCTO. The accreditation letter will be issued by QCTO and send to SDP, QAP and DHET.
Delegation 2: Monitoring The Setas (Quality Assurance Partners – QAPs) will remain responsible for the accreditation applications for Skills Programmes and the implementation of Learnerships. A collaborative approach with the QAP will be followed regarding the monitoring of SDPs QAPs are requested to compile monitoring schedules and conduct monitoring visits to SDPs offering historically registered qualifications and gazetted trades These monitoring schedules must be submitted to the QCTO a month before as the QA Managers will be conducting sample monitoring visits on same dates scheduled by QAPs. The QAP will be required to submit EACH monitoring report to the QCTO.
Delegation 3: Final Integrated Summative Assessment The QCTO re-considered the implementation of Final Integrated Summative Assessments (FISAs) for Historically Registered Qualifications: Through further deliberation, therefore QCTO would phase in FISA with voluntary QAPs who feel they are in a “state of readiness” to do so. As to date MQA is not yet ready for it however envisaged pilot is underway with specific qualifications as per Assessment Quality Partner process. The MQA will continue with its delegated function as an Assessment Quality Partner (AQP).
Delegation 4: Certification The Setas (Quality Assurance Partners – QAPs) will remain responsible for the accreditation applications for Skills Programmes and the implementation of Learnerships. QAPs will continue to be responsible for NLRD submission to SAQA and data with regard to ATPs including the issuing of certificates for historically registered qualifications after the learner achievements have been quality assured by the QCTO. The QAP will be required to submit/inform EACH uploading report to the QCTO.
