Accredited QCTO Qualifications

A QCTO qualification is an occupational qualification designed to develop the knowledge, practical skills and workplace competence required for a specific occupation in South Africa.

Prospen offers QCTO qualifications such as Supply Chain Practitioner, Occupational Health and Safety Practitioner, and Occupational Health and Safety Officer, with additional programmes available.

A QCTO qualification provides broader occupational competence, while a Skills Programme focuses on specific occupational skills or competencies. The requirements, credits and duration depend on the programme.

Each QCTO qualification has its own SAQA ID, NQF level and credit value. For example, Prospen's Supply Chain Practitioner is SAQA ID 110942 at NQF Level 5 with 180 credits.

Entry requirements vary according to the specific QCTO qualification and may include a minimum NQF level, prior learning, work experience or other programme-specific requirements.

The duration depends on the qualification, credit requirements and the knowledge, practical skills and workplace learning components. Prospen's listed QCTO qualifications can take around 14 months to complete.
