Before skillSYMS
- Paper PoE folders moved between sites
- Spreadsheet trackers and version drift
- Manual NLRD & QCTO MIS exports under audit pressure
- Disconnected assessor and moderator handoffs
- Learners chasing status by phone and email
Part of the eduSYMS platform
The compliance OS for QCTO skills programmes.
Digitise enrolment, Portfolio of Evidence, assessment, moderation, and NLRD / QCTO MIS reporting in one platform — purpose-built for South African skills development providers, employer-led programmes, and qualified assessors.
Aligned with QCTO · NLRD · POPIA · SETA · CHE · DHET · NSFAS
The shift
From paper PoE folders to one source of truth
SDPs lose hours every week to paper portfolios, version-drifted spreadsheets, and last-minute audit scrambles. skillSYMS replaces that with a structured, live system.
With skillSYMS
- Structured digital PoE per qualification
- One live source for learners, evidence, and outcomes
- Audit-ready exports generated in clicks
- Connected assessor & moderator sign-off trails
- Learners track their own evidence from a mobile app
How it works
Four stages — registration to certification
A single workflow that mirrors the QCTO process. Every stage is captured, traceable, and ready for moderation or audit.
-
1
Register
Enrol learners, build cohorts, and attach occupational qualifications and unit standards in minutes.
-
2
Evidence
Capture digital PoE structured to QCTO requirements — knowledge, practical, and workplace components in one trail.
-
3
Assess
Assessor and moderator workflows with structured feedback, sign-off trails, and full audit history.
-
4
Report & Certify
NLRD and QCTO MIS exports, Statements of Results, and certification-ready data — generated, not stitched.
