    Comparisons were also done with countries that face similar social, economic and technological challenges like South Africa within the SADC region in particular such as Botswana, Nigeria, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Kenya, Nairobi, and Tanzania. The comparability focused on the qualifications and standards including learning programmes and short courses offered in the Contact Centre and/or BPO industry. Unfortunately none of these countries has been found to have qualifications and/or standards in place. South Africa therefore has been regarded as a leading country in providing training in Contact Centre and/or BPO service delivery. This qualification therefore provides a model that could be benchmarked by other countries especially within the SADC region.

    Conclusion:

    Comparing the South African Contact Centre and/or BPO support qualification and other qualifications including short courses or learning programmes, it is reasonable to conclude that the qualification compares favourably with courses in countries leading in this industry in terms of scope and content. The qualification falls well within the occupational profiles and training standards of Contact Centre and/or BPO Agents of the other countries.

    However, some of the programmes found are pegged at lower levels than the level of this qualification.

    PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THESE LEARNING PROGRAMMES: 
    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
