What this means

The document is a notice from the National School of Government (NSG) to all departmental coordinators about the expiry/deregistration of historically registered qualifications and unit standards on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). It states that on 20 December 2020 the Minister of Higher Education and Training issued Government Gazette No. 244031 determining NQF sub-frameworks, which will deregister all historical qualifications and unit standards from the NQF on 30 June 2023, allowing institutions to enrol the last cohort until 30 June 2024. The NSG says enrolment for its credit-bearing programmes remains valid until 30 June 2024, after which no new learners may be enrolled; learners enrolled by 30 June 2024 must be trained and exited by 30 June 2027, and non-compliance with portfolio-of-evidence submission due dates may result in a certificate of attendance. The NSG requests HR coordinators to ensure nominated learners are enrolled by 30 April 2024 and to submit SETA skills application forms with certified identity document copies (certified within 3 months of submission).
