Institute warns of looming change in standards

As the unit standards of the current National Qualifications Framework (NQF) expired in June 2023, with the last enrolment of learners in June 2024, professional body Institute for Work at Height (IWH) continues its efforts to maintain some form of standardisation in the sector. As a result of its persistence, the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) will allow for regulatory skills, such as those for the work at height industry, to be registered on the QCTO’s database, says IWH CEO Dr Alti Kriel.
