Skills Development Provider Services
Practical systems, training and support for South African Skills Development Providers.
Development of Learner Management Systems (LMS)
Occupational Studies provides practical Skills Development Provider services designed to help South African training providers improve the way they manage learners, training activities, assessments and supporting documentation.
1. Customised LMS Development
Our LMS development South Africa service focuses on building a Learning Management System around the operational needs of the Skills Development Provider rather than forcing the provider to work around a generic system.
A customised LMS can provide a central environment for managing learning materials, learner activities, Portfolio of Evidence documentation, assessments and other information required during programme delivery.
The LMS development process
Step 1: Determine the needs of the Skills Development Provider and identify how the LMS will be used.
Step 2: Prepare and submit a proposal and quotation for approval.
Step 3: Design and configure the LMS platform according to the agreed requirements.
Step 4: Establish an appropriate support Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Step 5: Train staff members who will administer and use the LMS.
Step 6: Implement the platform and begin using it for programme and learner management.
The objective is to provide training providers with a practical system that supports their own processes while making learner and programme administration easier to manage.
2. QCTO Accreditation Preparation Training
Occupational Studies also provides QCTO accreditation preparation training for Skills Development Providers that need guidance in understanding and preparing for the accreditation process.
The training is designed to help applicant SDPs understand the documentation, systems and processes they may need to prepare when working within the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations environment.
Guidance sessions can be presented online, allowing participants to work through the preparation process in a structured way and identify areas that may require additional attention before proceeding with an application.
Accreditation preparation process
Step 1: Determine the type of guidance or preparation training required.
Step 2: Prepare and approve the proposal and quotation.
Step 3: Provide access to the LMS and begin the structured preparation programme.
For official accreditation requirements and current occupational qualification information, providers should always refer to the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO).
Practical Training Provider Support South Africa
Our training provider support South Africa services are aimed at organisations that need practical assistance with the systems and processes surrounding occupational learning.
Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all solution, we first consider the organisation's programmes, learner-management requirements, existing systems and operational needs before recommending an appropriate approach.
Occupational Studies also provides practical ETD templates and QMS resources for training providers, together with occupational Skills Programmes for practitioners who want to develop their own competence.
