STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIVE MEETING

The Namibia Training Authority (NTA), in consultation with the Technical Working Group for Counselling Services, has reviewed the unit standards and qualifications for Counselling Services and Social Auxiliary Work, currently registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The NQF Regulations and the guidance on the review of unit standards and qualifications provided by the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA), indicate that all unit standards and qualifications registered on the NQF, must be reviewed within five (5) years of each registration, to ensure they remain ‘fit-for-purpose’. The review has resulted in proposed changes and amendments to the existing unit standards and qualifications for Counselling Services and Social Auxiliary Work.

Against this background, the NTA now calls for a formal consideration, inclusive of the engagement of industry and relevant stakeholders, to provide their inputs. Experts/persons in the field of Counselling Services and Social Work are invited to a consultative meeting:

13 September 2021, Windhoek, NTA Village Hall, Khomasdal, 09h00 – 13h00
