Is the programme I want to do approved by an ETQA?
Why is this important?
Only approved or accredited qualifications are credit bearing. This will also mean that your qualification and credits will be uploaded onto the National Learner Database (NLRD).
How do I verify this?
A training provider is issued with a letter and/or certificate from the ETQA indicating each programme that is approved.
What else is important?
An ETQA can only approve the programmes that falls within its scope. This means that if a provider offers different types of programmes it must have programme approval from the relevant ETQA's.
