PROCESS FOR RECOMMENDATION OF ARTISAN CERTIFICATION

BETWEEN MQA AND ACCREDITED TRADE TEST CENTRES (ATTC):

ATTC will submit applications to MQA (14 working days prior to trade test)

Documents to be uploaded on ISHARE and an email notification to be sent

to [email protected]. The following documents must be

uploaded:

Application to attempt a trade test in NAMB’s format

Learner certified ID copy

Learner’ s learnership contract

Trade test application

Proof of achievement of the knowledge component of the curriculum

(N2 certificate or equivalent with achievement of all four subject)

logbooks

mailto:[email protected]


MQA to review documents and give feedback together with Serial number

(within 3 working days of application)

If the application is approved for trade test then the ATTC can book for a

trade test on ISHARE by updating all completed modules, insert the

planned trade test date.

ISHARE will issue the trade test number (3 days before trade test date)


After the trade test, the ATTC must update the trade test status on ISHARE

and upload the results summary sheet on ISHARE (within 3 working days).

Upon receipt of trade test results, the MQA compiles the learner POE and

forward the documentation to NAMB for recommendation of certification

(within 7 working days of receipt of documents from ATTC). Note: MQA can

only submit documents to NAMB on Tuesdays.


NAMB and QCTO TURN AROUND TIMES

NAMB reviews documentation and submit to QCTO for certification (10

working days)

QCTO printing of certificates (21 working days)

NAMB submits certificates to MQA (5 working days)

Upon receipt of certificates from NAMB, MQA sorts the certificates

per ATTC and distributed to respective ATTC (7 working days)

ETQA UPDATES

Maintaining an acceptable database :

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

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

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

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

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
