Labour Law Accredited Skills Programme

DITSELA will continue to deliver the Labour Law Skills programme, which is accredited with 20 credits. This module is taken out of the Trade Union Practice Qualification NQF Level 4 with 157 credits. The programme will be delivered in partnership with ETDP Seta and Department of Labour and Employment. It will be delivered in one province in 2024.

• Identify and describe the current legislation relevant to workers` rights in South Africa
