What timelines to expect for your NQF4 assessment

This helpdesk article provides an overview of the timelines expected when we assess an NQF4 portfolio.


Expected Timelines


As soon as your portfolio gets delivered to our offices, we capture it in our database, scan it, and upload it. From then, the following timelines apply.


Step

Duration

  1. Portfolio assessment & feedback

Within 30 days after upload

  1. Reassessment (if remediation required)

Within 30 days after we receive remediation

  1. Knowledge Quest Internal moderation

Usually within 30 days after found competent

  1. External moderation

Usually up to 90 days after internal moderation, can be up to 18 months

  1. Issuing LA numbers

Within 1 day after external moderation

  1. Sending LA letters*

Within 7 days after LA numbers are issued

  1. Issuing certificates

As early as 30 days after LA letters or as long as a year


*In certain cases, the LA letters are sent to training partners, who then forward them to the learners. This may impact the time it takes for you to receive the letter.


Delays


There are many factors influencing the date of obtaining EM and LA Letters.


  • Learner responsiveness to feedback/signature requests
  • Correctness and certification of submitted documents
  • Learner communication method (online link is the quickest)
  • Timeliness and sufficiency of remediation
  • Operational issues at Services Seta (e.g., during Covid pandemic)


Important Notes


  • Compliance Realtor is an independent Service Provider in the Property Practitioner Industry.
  • We employ qualified and registered trainers, assessors, and moderators.
  • We have service level agreements with SSETA accredited training service providers and other role players.
  • If a learner received their training through one of our training partners, Compliance Realtor's client is the training partner, not the individual learner.
  • The only direct communication between Compliance Realtor and the learner is during the assessment and feedback process.
  • If a learner received their training through one of our training partners, LA letters and certificates should be obtained from the training partners, not Compliance Realtor.
  • Compliance Realtor is not at liberty to divulge LA numbers and certificates to learners who were contracted externally, directly.
