WORKPLACE APPROVAL/GRANTS RELATED 2. 1 The CHIETA is obligated to account for the funding they give to stakeholders for training interventions. 2. 2 Employers are therefore encouraged register their learners though the CHIETA’s ETQA Unit for and reporting purposes. 2. 3 For programmes that are outside the scope of CHIETA a request will still have to be submitted to the CHIETA, who will then pass your information to the relevant SETA the employer chose for traceability and reporting purposes. 2. 4 Employers are encouraged to ensure they are approved for the training interventions they offer prior engaging in learner developments. 4
