SABPP ETQA Learnerships

1. SABPP is an ETQA and not a SETA and therefore cannot initiate learnerships as it does not have levy funding to support such learnerships.
2. However, every SETA does have an HR component within its ranks and HR Learnerships can be initiated by any SETA and also by companies and government departments willing to carry the quality assurance costs of such a learnership.
3. The SABPP is the accredited quality assurance body for such HR Learnerships.
4. An organisation initiating any HR Learnership must contract with the SABPP for the quality assurance services (monitoring, verification, NLRD uploading and certification).
5. The Learnerships may only be offered by Providers who have been accredited by SABPP or who have Learning Programme Approval.
6. The SABPP ETQA charges for its services and can only render such services on a full cost recovery basis.
7. Each learnership is unique and a quotation is supplied, terms of reference agreed upon and a contract signed with the initiating organisation. SABPP ETQA charges for monitoring and verification visits, NLRD uploading and certification etc.

1. Inform the SABPP as soon as possible of plans for a learnership are being made.
2. Please note that only SABPP accredited Providers may be used for Learnerships (see list of Providers on our website).
3. Ensure that learners recruited for Learnerships meet the qualification criteria of learning assumed to be in place.
4. Arrange a meeting* to sign a quality assurance contract with the SABPP.
5. Use of the SABPP Learnership Implementation Programme (LIP) is compulsory for HR Learnerships. See information below and contact SABPP if further information is required.
6. Copies of agreements with learners as well as copies of their ID documents must be lodged with the SABPP by the contracting body as soon as they have been recruited and the agreements concluded
7. As soon as the Provider has enrolled the learners, a copy of the enrolment list with full registration data of learners must likewise be lodged with SABPP.
8. Learner registration data must be uploaded by the Provider on the SABPP MIS system after written permission is given by the ETQA Committee .
9. The SABPP will expect the Provider to provide information on the internal moderation process and results at least 6 weeks before the end of the project. Final Integrative Summative Assessment is compulsory.
10. The SABPP will expect the provider to upload achievement results after verification has been done.

*  Before the meeting please provide the following information:

• Name of commissioning or contracting body
• Date of commencement of learnership
• Details of qualification to be used in the learnership
• Name of training Provider
• Name of workplace Provider
• Number of learners

1. The use of the SABPP LIP is compulsory for HR Learnerships. It consists of 14 guides for learners, employers, Providers, assessors and moderators and provides evidence collection guidance for the skills programmes (FET Certificate: HR Management Practices Support ID: 49691 Level: 4). A CD is supplied from which these guides can be duplicated for distribution as and when required.
2. This state of the art LIP programme forms the foundation of the SABPP quality assurance. The material supplied has been developed for the SABPP (with full copyright) and may not be made available to anyone not directly involved with the learnerships.
3. If a SETA initiates and pays for the Learnership, the SABPP charges R60,000.00 for the use of the LIP for all current and future HR Learnerships based on the above Certificate.
4. If a company initiates and pays for the Learnership the SABPP charges R15,000.00 for the first use of the LIP and R5000.00 per annum for subsequent HR Learnerships implemented by the company.
