Training Advice
National Certificate: Occupationally Directed ETD Practices (ODETDP) 50334 – Enrolled Learners Only
Learners already enrolled with BOTI complete the National Certificate: ODETDP with the contact sessions, support and assessment they need.
The National Certificate: Occupationally Directed Education Training and Development Practices (SAQA ID 50334, NQF Level 5, 120 credits) – the ODETDP qualification – is the broad entry qualification for people who train, assess and support learners in the workplace. It is closed to new enrolment, and BOTI does not offer it as accredited training to new learners. This page is for learners already enrolled with BOTI, and for the employers who sponsor them.
The programme runs as 30 contact days over 9 to 12 months. Learners develop the knowledge and skills to communicate in different ETD settings, design and develop learning programmes and processes, facilitate and evaluate learning, carry out and promote assessment, provide learning support to learners and organisations, and facilitate skills development. Core, fundamental and elective unit standards make up the 120 credits.
Organisations that need to train new practitioners now can ask us about the QCTO Learning and Development Advisor occupational certificate (open to new enrolment until 31 December 2026), the QCTO Assessment Practitioner and Workplace-Based Practitioner skills programmes, or BOTI's non-accredited Train the Trainer, Skills Development Facilitator and Design and Develop Effective Learning Material courses.

Who should attend
Learners already enrolled with BOTI on the National Certificate: ODETDP, and the employers, HR practitioners and skills development facilitators who manage their completion. The qualification was designed for people who hold a Further Education and Training Certificate (FETC) in any field and want to enter occupationally directed ETD as a career with little or no previous experience, and for practitioners already working in the field without formal recognition – learning facilitators, assessors, people who support learners and learning, and skills development facilitators. It no longer accepts new learners.
