The skills development landscape in South Africa is undergoing a significant transformation, and eDeaf is at the forefront of adapting to these changes. We are excited to share with you our strategic approach to ensuring a seamless transition to the new Qualification and Curriculum Transformation (QCTO) framework, ensuring your organisation remains well-equipped to cultivate a skilled and future-ready workforce.

Embracing the QCTO Revolution

The QCTO oversees occupational qualifications, aligning them with industry needs and enhancing employability. Unlike the traditional SETA unit standards, the QCTO emphasizes skills transfer over knowledge transfer through a modular approach.

Accreditation Transition: Paving the Way for Success

As we navigate this transition, eDeaf is developing new materials to meet the QCTO accreditation requirements. The shift from unit standards to modules necessitates a comprehensive overhaul, with a deadline for implementing legacy SETA qualifications by June 2027.

Learnerships and Funding: Ensuring Continuity

Learnership agreements remain crucial for SETA and BBBEE/SARS benefits. The QCTO introduces new program structures and credit systems, which may impact costs and delivery methods. eDeaf is well-prepared to guide you through these changes.

Occupational Programmes: Tailored for Industry Relevance

eDeaf offers a diverse range of occupational programmes across various sectors, meticulously aligned with QCTO standards to ensure your workforce acquires relevant, employable skills.

Implementation and Assessment: A Collaborative Approach

The training process involves knowledge, practical, and workplace modules, followed by comprehensive assessments and certification. eDeaf collaborates closely with providers and employers to facilitate seamless training and assessments.

Empowering Subject Matter Experts

The QCTO places a strong emphasis on industry experience and expertise. eDeaf adheres to stringent registration requirements for subject matter experts (SMEs), ensuring our facilitators, assessors, and moderators are well-equipped to deliver high-quality training.

Learner Pathway: Achieving Occupational Excellence

Learners undergo an External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA) to obtain occupational qualifications, with clear requirements for initial registration and continuous assessment.

Expanding Our Offering

To meet the evolving needs of our corporate partners, eDeaf will be introducing new learnerships in the following fields:

  • Wholesale & Retail

  • Hygiene & Cleaning

  • Manufacturing

  • Production

  • Administration

Stay ahead of the curve by partnering with eDeaf, your trusted ally in navigating the QCTO landscape. Together, we will unlock new horizons of skills development, empowering your workforce with the knowledge and competencies to drive your organisation's success.
