QUEST QCTO-PEOPLE-MATERIAL

Can you actually deliver this?

Stages one to three of an application establish that you are a real, governed organisation. This stage asks something narrower and harder: can you deliver this particular qualification, to these learners, at this site? 🛠️

Three kinds of evidence answer it — the people, the material and the place. All three are checked against the curriculum of the qualification you applied for, not against a general standard.

People, Material and Facilities: questions

How long does People, Material and Facilities take?
About 14 minutes: 9 short lessons, 2 quick checks and a 5-question final challenge. Your progress is saved after every step, so you can stop and carry on later.
How much does People, Material and Facilities cost?
R29, paid securely online, or 29 learning credits from your wallet. You pay once: if you don’t pass the challenge, you try again at no extra cost.
What do I need to pass?
4 out of 5 on the final challenge (80%). The quick checks along the way help you learn and do not count towards your mark.
Is the certificate accredited?
No. A MicroQuest is informal learning. Your certificate proves you completed it and has a number and QR code anyone can verify, but it is not an accredited qualification or SETA/QCTO credits, and it says so.
Can I do it on my phone?
Yes. Tap Start to learn in your phone’s browser, or send QUEST QCTO-PEOPLE-MATERIAL to 076 263 6000 on WhatsApp. It is the same MicroQuest and the same certificate either way.
