10 ETQA UPDATES 19 SEPTEMBER

11 Maintaining an acceptable database : ETQA UPDATES As part of its delegated functions by the QCTO, the ETQA is required to maintain a comprehensive learner information management system and also upload learner data on to the NLRD according to the NLRD load specifications: Below are some of the functions performed to comply with the above requirement Granting and Terminating access on the MQA system Provider data on the system Capturing of learner data by providers on to the MQA database Learner uptake on MQA quality assured qualifications: No of quals allocated to MQA to QA No of ATPs accredited Active Quals In Active/Dormant Quals Learners enrolled Learners achieved

12 ETQA UPDATES Scope and Site Extension: Once providers have been accredited or programme approved by MQA, some desire to extent their scope to include other qualifications/ skills programmes or other sites; The following process must be followed: Scope Extension Register the assessors and moderators for scope seeking approval or extend the scope of the registered assessors Submit scope extension application ETQA office evaluates the application and an evaluation report is sent to the training provider Training provide must submit learning material Site Extension Submit scope extension application & letter of commitment/service Level Agreement (SLA) ETQA confirms/verifies the letter of commitment/sla ETQA office evaluate the application and an evaluation report is sent to the training provider

13 ETQA UPDATES Accredited Scope: MQA accredits providers for qualifications and/or skills programmes Providers are expected to implement training on granted scope and not only on certain unit standards within the qualification/skills programme. Also training to be done on approved sites only. Providers are not allowed to train outside their accredited scope

14 ETQA UPDATES Moderation: Moderation is a process to ensure that the assessment system is credible. Furthermore, moderation stimulates continuous improvement to the quality of assessment. Moderation ensures that people who are being assessed are assessed in a consistent, accurate and well-designed manner. The main functions of moderation systems are: To verify that assessments are fair, valid, reliable and practicable To identify the need to redesign assessments if required To provide an appeals procedure for dissatisfied learners To evaluate the performance of assessors The MQA guideline is that at least 10% of assessments be moderated

15 ETQA UPDATES ETQA Concern: As the ETQA we are beginning to experience a lot of learner complaints regarding the quality of training they receive from some of the accredited training providers
