LAUNCH OF THE NEW AGRISETA WEBSITE

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new website, which has a colourful, use-friendly new look, where we trust you will access meaningful news and information.

We are planning to place news items regarding AgriSETA business on the website, at least, every two weeks – and more often if necessary!.

Standard information such as WSPG’s, processes, acts, regulations and templates will be some of the items that will be accessible directly from the website.

QUALITY ASSURANCE NEWS

The South African Quality Assurance (SAQA) have granted AgriSETA’s ETQA provisional accreditation for a period of 12 months. During this period the ETQA will develop a new ETQA policy with aligned procedures, processes and templates.

Over the past 2 months a lot of work has been completed in the creation of the new policy and we are confident that we may have the full documentation finalized for consideration by SAQA in order that the AgriSETA can be certificated at the same time as the rest of the SETA ETQA’s on the 27th September 2005.

The AgriSETA Quality Assurance department has a new structure.
