a. both of the education and training entities involved must be recognised by a Quality Council and where applicable, registered with the DHET, in order to lodge or accept an appeal;
b. the entity at which the learner obtained the original credits has the right to lodge an appeal;
c. the entity the learner is seeking to access must consider and address the appeal;
d. the CAT comparisons that led to the decision not to accept credit must be shared with and explained to the entity lodging the appeal; and
e. failing acceptance of this process and/or failing to reach agreement, both entities must together consult SAQA and the relevant Quality Council for a final opinion.
