We are a training center that provides Preparation for trade test in Electricians and Plumbers in order for students to do their Trade test for the Red Seal Section 26D but we have over a 140 Red seals outstanding some are close to three year outstanding. EWSETA JUST DOESN'T DO THEIR JOB TO PROCESS THE RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION THAT, NAMB CAN VERIFY AND QCTO CAN PRINT THE RED SEALS (Certified ID, Certified School cert, Trade test application etc.) Please people are loosing their jobs, don't get the appropriate pay because they don't receive the red seal certificate? We are getting threatened with lawyer letters, unions and even Cart Blanche because EWSETA,NAMB AND QCTO doesnt do their jobs, that they get paid for!!!! Its ridiculousness that they don't print the Red Seals as per there policies.according to the website, https://www.qcto.org.za/for-learners.html#apply-for-trade-certificate, a trade certificate should have been issued a long time ago to the above-mentioned candidate.
“The Trade Test Center will send the candidate’s documents to the relevant SETA within 5 working days.
The SETA will then forward such documents to the National Artisan Moderation Body (NAMB) within 10 working days, who will recommend the issuing of a Trade Certificate for the candidate to the QCTO within 21 working days of receipt of the request.”
Total working days indicated here is 36.
WE ARE NOT THE ONLY TRAINING CENTER OR TRADE TEST THAT STRUGGLES WITH THIS THERE IS HUNDREDS MORE....SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
