Outlining a strategy for HWSETA accreditation.
Accreditation is about strategy, not administration. The accreditation process is designed to deepen your understanding of managing quality assured education and training delivery. Let’s do it right!
HW SETA Accreditation
Why SETA Accreditation?
Your contribution would be more valuable to training beneficiaries if you offer them valid, credit-bearing programs.
If you are an organisation that currently offers training and / or coaching services and you understand the relevance of delivering recognised occupational learning then SETA accreditation is a strategic move.
By conforming to legislated levels of compliance, your learners can receive certificates of competence and organisations procuring accredited training can claim tax rebates and BEE points as reward for their contribution.
Accreditation Strategy Features
Your accreditation strategy should address the following:
1. Preferred Training Target Markets
SETAs have a vested interest in organisations that train in the following markets:
- High school leavers market.
- 25-54 year old market.
- Business and industry training market.
- A vocational and lifelong learning market.
2. Scarce Skills
Many industries complain of skills shortages and voice concern over a lack of technical skills and expertise. Emerging and existing training organisations can identify business opportunities by linking their services to meeting scarce skill areas.
3. Select Registered Qualifications or Skills Programs
You must select qualifications, skills programs or unit standards that are registered on the National Qualifications Framework.

4. Survey Your Competition
Identify existing training providers in your sector who are offering the same or similar qualifications. Consider how you must differentiate yourself in order to compete in similar target markets.
- 29 Western and Northern Cape Health and Welfare Training Providers
- 31 MPUMALANGA and NORTH WEST Accredited Providers for Health and Welfare Training
- 45 KZN Contacts for Health and Welfare Training
- 30 LIMPOPO Contacts for Health and Welfare Training
- 27 FreeState and Eastern Cape Contacts for Health and Welfare Training
- 162 GAUTENG Contacts for Health and Welfare Training
5. Funding
It’s never a good idea to set up a business that will require funding efforts to deliver. However as an accredited provider you do become legible to apply and compete for funding.
There really is NO reason why the SETA should entrust limited funds to new providers in the market. However, those new providers who are savvy enough to establish themselves correctly and target the right markets with required qualifications can access SETA support.
New providers are often high risk as they are inexperienced and still need to build an understanding of due diligence in this formal environment. If you can demonstrate this understanding then you would enter the market competitively.

Building Blocks focuses on the accreditation criteria that must be met for full accreditation and not just ‘interim or preliminary’ accreditation.
