Significant progress has been made in generating Qualification Frameworks, Qualifications and Unit Standards during 2005.

In support of the qualification generation process conducted by the 5 SGB's, THETA is presenting an opportunity for you to provide input on the work done to date. This input will form an important part of the consultative process that the NSB regulations require of SGB's who are proposing new or reviewed standards. Your input in this regard will be highly appreciated.

The THETA system is set up in such a way that the ETQA is only prompted to print certificates for completed Learnerships, Full Qualifications and Skills Programmes.

Where learners have completed a combination of unit standards, which do not represent a formally registered skills programme or qualification, the system will not automatically generate a Statement of Achievement for these programmes.

Providers are required to notify THETA of the specific learners for whom THETA must issue Statements of Achievements.
