SABPP Committees

Chair: Ms Esther Letlape - The current work that is being done is about compiling a guide for the Board’s Code of Conduct.


Chair: Dr Sonia Swanepoel - This committee is responsible for the evaluation and accreditation of Universities and Universities of Technology for the purpose of enabling their students to qualify to register professionally with the SABPP. This team also reviews the registration levels and the specialist categories to be acknowledged within HR. This is the only forum where the tertiary institutions meet regularly.


Chair: Dr Ray Eberlein - The registration committee meets once a month and consists only of senior registered practitioners. This committee evaluates individual applications for registration and makes the decisions on level and category of registration.


Chair: Ms Michelle Ally - The ETQA is an active and very busy committee, meeting four times a year to take decisions on accreditation or learning programme approval of providers, and three times a year to discuss strategic issues. There is an ETQA team at the SABPP doing the actual ETQA work.


Chair: Mr Michael Glensor - This is an exceptionally busy committee, meeting monthly, with sub-divisions looking variously at the audit process of the submitted Continued Professional Development (CPD) forms, the accreditation of “approved” CPD courses, communication and awareness, policies and practices. This is one of the committees with the most members.


Chair: Ms Marietta van Rooyen - Professionalisation of Learning and Development specialists is the focal point of the work of this committee. This requires an awareness of developments regarding trainers and facilitators, such as the new legislation on skills development.


Chair: Dr Anita Venter - This group does not function as a committee, but is made up of Executive Partners (Telkom, Goldfields, Eskom etc) and Research Friends. The Executive meets twice yearly to decide on research briefs to be support and to determine the champions of the various projects.



Chair Ms Tendani Ramulipho - The brief of this committee is to spread the word on professionalization of HR. Tendani works in the field of creating awareness in government circles.
