Quality assurance will be built into
each and every step of the national 7-Step Programme. It is therefore
not an isolated activity focusing on the final external summative
assessment
or trade testing only, but is implemented right form the
qualification development, learner selection, accreditation and delivery
processes.
The current practice whereby a range of
sector based trade certificates are issued in South Africa has been
phased out and the Development through the National Artisan Moderation
Body
under delegation from the Quality Council for Trades and
Occupations will ensure that only national artisan trade certificates
are issued.
