What is a Skills Development Provider?
A Skills Development Provider (SDP) is an organisation formally accredited by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and registered with a SETA to deliver occupational training in South Africa. SDPs offer nationally recognised qualifications on the NQF (National Qualifications Framework), ranging from short skills programmes to full occupational qualifications and artisan trade certificates.
SDPs serve job seekers looking to gain formal qualifications, matric graduates who did not gain university admission, employed workers whose employers use SETA levies to fund upskilling, and artisan learners pursuing a trade through apprenticeships.
Structured programmes combining classroom training with workplace experience. Lead to a full NQF qualification with a monthly stipend.
Trade apprenticeships leading to a Trade Certificate via the QCTO. Covers Electrician, Plumber, Welder, Boilermaker and more.
New-generation qualifications on the OQSF, designed around real workplace competencies and recognised by employers.
Shorter unit-standard programmes forming part of a full qualification. Ideal for workers needing a specific skill quickly.
- Verify accreditation on the DHET website
- Confirm which SETA quality-assures the programme
- Ask whether SETA-funded learnerships are available
- Check the NQF level of the qualification
Employers who pay SETA levies can claim funding for employee training. Ask your HR department whether you qualify for a fully funded learnership.
What is a SETA?
A Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) is a statutory body established under the Skills Development Act (No. 97 of 1998). South Africa has 21 SETAs, each responsible for a specific economic sector. SETAs collect a Skills Development Levy (1% of payroll) from registered employers and fund learnerships, bursaries, and workplace training. Every accredited Skills Development Provider must be quality-assured by at least one SETA. Click a SETA below to filter providers:
