Download and view the current versions of the new QCTO OHS skills programs that are under development and open for public comment.
November 2025 Update: These programs are all live
Â
Read this article which replaces the one below.
These files belong to HWSETA and Ben van As and are under development. Comments are being made on the curricula.
NB: Do not wait for these programs to be established before making comment. It has been a major and ongoing bone of contention with the QCTO first aid programs that were wide open for public comment but a few different parties decided to wait for them to be established to then start making comment. Please don’t be ‘that guy’. If you are a stakeholder in OHS and these programs have problems please speak up and get involved now (see article date for when ‘now’ is). E.g. there have been questions about the names.
To get involved the the development and commentary process contact dawnb@hwseta.org.za or contact my office for assistance with getting in touch with HWSETA who are the custodians and QAP for these developing QCTO programs.
