Collaboration means one training programme for students
Culture Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Sector Education and Training Authority (CATHSSETA) accredited training providers will be able to offer City & Guilds qualifications, as part of their accredited scope, following a collaboration between City & Guilds and the SETA, previously known as THETA.
The agreement will allow learners to achieve a City & Guilds qualification, as well as a national qualification registered on the South African National Qualifications Framework (NQF), by completing one training programme.
City & Guilds International's Africa regional manager, Juan Visser, said, "As the custodian of training and skills development within the tourism, hospitality and catering sectors in South Africa, this SETA is the perfect partner for our organisation to provide greater access to our qualifications and to ensure standardisation within the industry."
The CEO of CATHSSETA, Mike Tsotetsi added, "It is our responsibility to ensure that learners have access to the same level of education and skills training as their counterparts in the international front. The partnership will encourage international investor confidence, as we now have an opportunity to provide a qualification that has international recognition."
