RPL emerges from a global inclination in this century to increase a student's access to education, by articulatingvarious types and levels of education with each other, so that there can be lifelong learning and no-one is barredfrom higher education. RPL enables access to the knowledge and skills needed to work in the fast-growing sportand fitness sector where competent employees are critical for the growth of the profession and its industry (SkillsDevelopment Act, 1998, Skills Development Amendment Act, 2008). In South Africa, it was a core principle of theWhite Paper on Higher Education in the late nineties, and again in the January 2012 Green Paper for post-schooleducation and training issued by The Department of Higher Education and Training. For South Africans, RPL impliesthe entryways of learning might be opened. All higher education institutions in South African must have a policy andprocedure to assess prospective students’ RPL to see if they can enter the courses with a reasonable chance ofsuccess.

Teaching and Learning
Due to the nature of our learning programmes and the vocational qualification being
achieved, learning is divided into theory, applied theory and practical learning.
The exact breakdown is based on the specific course being taught, which may emphasise
more theory or practical depending on the key outcomes.
The recommended contact hours per session are indicated in our timetables and
implementation plans. Classroom time is interactive and sessions are delivered in the
context of the course being taught, together with its application. Faculty ensure that eta’s
principle of Total Immersion is applied to our teaching and learning and that all students
experience a planned blend of theory, applied theory and practical learning as well as
work-based learning.
Assessment
We have clear assessment policies and procedures and our assessments
align to curricula outcomes. The eta assessment process is efficient and rigorous and clear
policies guide our assessment and moderation practice. Assessment is a transparent
process which is monitored and moderated in accordance with eta policy. Summative
assessment is conducted strictly according to the academic calendar and our assessment
and moderation policies are reviewed annually to ensure currency and rigour of their
application. Each programme has a unique assessment strategy and students are
encouraged to read the Assessment Policy and the Assessment Rules Policy.
Our success as a provider is measured by theachievements of our students. The main
outcome is 100% achievement for studentswho have participated fully in the
learning programmes.

with the relevant workplaces.

mobile device like a smartphone or a tablet when you are “on the move” to quickly access your
programme, mobile devices are not considered sufficient to meet the technical requirement of our
programmes.
