Pseta Courses

A Pseta course is an educational program which is conducted by the Professional Skills and Education Training Academy (PSETA). Established in 1981, PSETA is an independent, national regulatory body that provides accreditation and certification services to training providers in South Africa. It is funded in part by the Department of Higher Education and Training. A Pseta course is a type of vocational training program that is designed to help students to gain the necessary skills for a career in the field of their choice. It may cover topics such as business management, financial management, human resource management, as well as marketing and sales. These courses are usually offered in either full-time or part-time mode and usually last between 3-6 months, depending on the level of the program. Most courses offered by the PSETA are Nationally-Accredited and are generally recognized by employers all over South Africa. Many benefits come with enrolling in a PSETA course. These include providing a nationally-recognized certificate upon successful completion, allowing for access to further studies, or for direct entry into the job market. Also, the quality of the programs offered by the PSETA is regularly monitored by the government to maintain the highest standards in the industry. And finally, students will acquire knowledge and skills that will qualify them to apply for jobs that require specific criteria in the workplace.
