This means there is just over 12 months in which to register, but it must be remembered that only about 15% have so far applied in the last 8 months and there are still a good 85% of providers to register.  These unexpected volumes have caused some delays in the acknowledgement and evaluation processes at DHET, and as a result, it appears evaluation results will only be available from February 2019.  

 

To ensure that providers are not penalised in waiting for evaluation results, DHET will from February 2018, be publishing lists of providers who have applied, thus permitting verification that providers have applied.  As many of the SETA's are requiring this proof of submission, and many employer companies are requesting the registration status of providers, it is recommended that applications be completed as soon as possible.
