The QCTO also offers guidance to skills development providers who must be accredited by the QCTO to offer occupational qualifications.

Vision

Mission

To effectively and efficiently manage the OQSF in order to set standards, develop and quality assure national occupational qualifications for all who want a trade or occupation and, where appropriate, professions.

Values

Innovation and Excellence

We rise to opportunities and challenges, we continuously learn, we are innovative and we consistently produce work of distinction and fine quality, on time, and in line with our clients’ needs.

Empowerment and Recognition

We enable people to make things happen, we encourage and support one another when and where needed, and we celebrate successful accomplishment of work.

Respect and Dignity

We value and show consideration for all people we work with; treat one another with kindness and thoughtfulness, and embrace inclusivity.

Ethics and Integrity

We embrace and practice a moral code of trustworthiness, honesty and truthfulness in everything we say and do, and we honour our promises and commitments.

Ownership and Accountability

We take ownership of our responsibilities and we answer for our decisions and actions.

Authenticity

We protect the public by issuing authentic, quality qualifications.

Occupational learning system process

This is a dual system quality assurance process that ensures that all the relevant role players within the OQSF space understand all process steps required in occupation training. The process model is developed based on the current legislation without trying to re-allocate roles and responsibilities. The QCTO owns the steps highlighted in red.
