Posted on October 13, 2025 by ES Content

Once your accreditation is approved, effective implementation is the next critical step. This toolkit will help you confidently roll out your programme, conduct assessments, and maintain quality assurance throughout your delivery cycle. Here’s how to make it smooth, compliant, and efficient.

Implementing the Learning Process

To ensure a smooth and compliant rollout of your accredited learning programme, consider the following key implementation steps:

1. Planning the Rollout

• Define clear timelines and milestones for each phase of the learning journey.
• Communicate expectations to staff, learners, and stakeholders.

2. Ensuring Minimum Requirements

• Confirm that all learning materials meet QCTO standards.
• Verify that your venue, equipment, and resources align with qualification requirements.

3. Planning the Assessment Process

• Prepare formative and summative assessment tools.
• Ensure assessors are registered and trained for the qualification.

4. Physical and Human Resources

• Assign qualified facilitators, assessors, and administrative support.

5. Legal Compliance

• Maintain up-to-date contracts, MoUs, and SLAs.
• Ensure POPIA, OHS, and labour law compliance.

6. Planning Schedules

• Create learner-friendly timetables that accommodate workplace realities.
• Include time for mentoring, assessments, and catch-up sessions.

7. Learner Support

• Provide onboarding, orientation, and ongoing guidance.
• Offer emotional, academic, and logistical support throughout the programme.

Monitoring and Quality Assurance

Monitoring ensures your programme stays on track and meets QCTO standards. Use the following tools and strategies:

Quality Assurance Checklists

• Pre-delivery checklist: materials, venue, facilitator readiness
• Mid-programme checklist: learner progress, resource usage, assessment tracking
• Post-programme checklist: feedback, certification, reporting

Workplace Monitoring Tools

• Supervisor evaluation templates

Monitoring Tool Overview
