As the number of qualifications increases so does the number of Skills Development Providers who are accredited to deliver the courses.

The Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) plays a central role in accrediting Skills Development Providers (SDPs) in South Africa. Accreditation ensures that training institutions meet national standards for delivering occupational qualifications and learnerships listed on the Occupational Qualifications Sub-Framework (OQSF).

Key Roles of the QCTO in Accrediting Skills Development Providers:

1. Evaluating Accreditation Applications
2. Quality Assurance of Training Delivery
3. Programme Approval
4. Accrediting Assessment Centres
5. Issuing Accreditation Certificates

Why QCTO Accreditation Matters

Accreditation ensures that learners receive quality, industry-relevant training that is nationally recognised and leads to occupational certification. It also ensures that training providers are accountable and meet the standards required for producing skilled, work-ready graduates.
