ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – ETDP SETA

In March 2000, the Education, Training and Development Practices Sector Education and Training Authority (ETDP SETA) was established. It was later re-established in November 2010 for 2011 to 2016, in accordance with the regulations of the Skills Development Act (No. 97 of 1998) (as amended). The SETAs were once again re-established from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020.

ETDP SETA is mandated to enhance and organize the delivery of Education, Training and Development within the country, with the primary goal of improving the skills profile of the Education, Training and Development (ETD) sector.
