Incus Data ISETT Accreditation

Incus Data has had some form of ISETT accreditation since 2002. We currently have ISETT provisional accreditation.

We believe in continuous improvement, and we constantly revise our course list, course content and all our quality management processes to provide the best possible training.

Although we cover some of the unit standards as required for certification, our courses are not specifically designed to address the SAQA unit standards. This is for three reasons:

1. Most of the IT unit standards are aimed at a more introductory level than the level of our courses. The unit standards are generally intended for those learning a new profession, whereas almost all our delegates are graduates and IT professionals. (For example, the unit standard that is covered by our Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course represents less than 20% of the course - although it is 4 credits i.e. 40 notional hours.)
2. The unit standards tend to be relatively generic, and are not specific to a particular programming language or development environment. Thus, for example, there is no unit standard against which one can assess a programmer to evaluate his or her competency in the C programming language. This is a matter which we have previously brought to the attendtion of the ISETT SETA.
3. We believe that our courses must be applicable and relevant. The content of our courses is determined by extensive technical research, real-world practical experience, and feedback and requests from programmers who use the technologies on a day-to-day basis. We are not prepared to change this merely to comply with a unit standard which is intended for a different audience.
