I was in contact with eseta on a number of occations about an assesment for NQF level 5 electrical engineering with no joy.
eseta tells me they can not assess on that level.
PLEASE HELP
I wish I could. I'm so confused about which SETA has the leadership role when it comes to training for the electrical contracting industry, at this point I don't know in which direction to point you.
What I do know is my company contributions as an electrical contractor are currently being paid over to the Construction SETA, and so far they've proved as useless and ineffective as ESETA when it comes to our industry.
