    One of the brainchild’s of a National Learners database ws to make the process of verifying qualifications a straight forward task. An employer in an online advert could among other stipulations also state:

    “Please include a transcript of your qualifications from the NQF. Simply send an email to:verifications@saqa.co.za

    Include a certified copy of your identity document, and state the subject as “request for transcript.”

    Both the applicant and employer could be rest assured that the NQF will only take 5 working days to provide this to the applicant. This much still holds true. They do only take 5 working days!

    The problem however is this. Suppose Mr A has a Mtech in Business Administration(UJ 2000) and a BTech in Business Administration (TWR 1995), the transcription will only reflect the MTech.

    So how would you as a job applicant answer the following question from the employer in the interview?

    “Mr A, we are a bit concerned about something. Your transcript from the NQF reflects only a MTech(UJ 2000). It most certainly doesn’t reflect a BTech!!
    Mr A what is your explanation?

    Mr A will have to explain everything in post 1. That mouthful will sound unusual!

    This is the crux of the problem.

    It is the crux of the your/the job applicant's problem. However, it is only a symptom of the actual root cause - a lack of financial resources being applied to capture the historical data in the new system. Solve the root cause and your problem will disappear.

    Very good morning to you Dave,

    You raise a very interesting perspective.

    I’ll take it into consideration and certainly conduct some more research.

    In the hypothetical scenario created, the employer wants to save both time and money. The employer is unaware that the NQF NLDR has gaps to fill. They merely assume that both they and the job applicant can save a lot of time and money getting the verification process over and done with. They have a C.V of an applicant. The applicant meets both the job specification as well as the job description. This employer is looking for both a Btech and a Mtech. The transcript obtain doesn’t reflect the Btech because it was obtained before 1999. This places some doubt in the employer’s mind. The employer doesn’t have time to waste. Furthermore, the employee is completely unwilling to utilize any other verification process. They have faith in the NQF. They want someone to commence employment as soon as possible. This gap in the NLRD now prejudices the applicant
