SETA/QCTO
The QCTO (Quality Council for Trade & Occupations) is striving to build a system where skills production and development respond to the socio-economic needs of our country and its labour market. Such high-quality skills will in turn, enhance investment and improve service delivery.
Taken from the SAQA website, discussing the merits of the CIDESCO Qualification:
“SAAHSP – the CIDESCO representative in South Africa – quality assures the national examinations and accredits South African assessors and moderators. Representing South Africa in the international arena in areas of education, developing standards and interrogating ethical issues.
We at SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority) came to the conclusion that the South African qualifications should be regarded as the leading qualifications worldwide. Most of the countries researched offer courses based on unit standards leading to certificates equivalent to our NQF Levels 3 and 4. The only country we could find that has national standards is the United Kingdom.
No African country – other than South Africa – has national qualifications or standards as yet. ITEC, CIBTAC, CIDESCO and City & Guilds are offered in various African countries. However, students from many African countries wishing to study in this field, tend to come to South Africa to study, known for our excellent standards throughout the world.
In our search, to ascertain how South African qualifications and/or unit standards compare with those in the rest of the world, we looked at countries such as United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, the rest of Africa, the United Kingdom, Western Europe and Asia.
Qualified Health and Skincare Therapists from South Africa are sought after worldwide, as they are multi-skilled in comparison with therapists from other countries, who tend to learn in smaller units. Thus many South Africans are found working in spas and salons around the world and also on international liners.”
