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!
