Regulations for the Registration of Private Further Education and Training Institutions

Chapter 5 : Responsibility of an Institution

24. Approved programmes

 

 

1) An institution must offer only such programmes and qualifications on any of its sites as are approved by the registrar and included in the registration certificate.

 

2) An institution must ensure that any approved programme is continued long enough to enable any cohort of students to complete the full programme, but if unavoidable circumstances prevent this-
a) the registrar must be informed without delay; and
b) the institution must make adequate arrangements to enable affected students to complete the programme at a comparable public or private institution and affected students who have a lawful claim on the institution as a result of an approved programme being discontinued must be refunded the unexpended portion of their fees pro rata.

 

3) An institution must comply with the criteria for accreditation of its programmes as determined by GENFETQA.

 

4) If GENFETQA withdraws accreditation for any approved programme, the registrar must review the terms of its registration in terms of section 35(2) of the Act.

 

5) An institution must submit an application for amendment to the registrar in terms of regulation 4 if it intends to withdraw or indefinitely suspend an approved programme or add a programme, qualification or site.
