| 38. | The formula funding grid uses information provided in the register of nationally approved TVET College programmes. The national register must contain details relating to the nationally approved TVET College programmes. The DHET maintains this register, and makes it available to the public and stakeholders in the TVET College sector on an annual basis. |
| 39. | The register of nationally approved TVET College programmes must, as a minimum, include the following information relating to each programme (see paragraphs 40 - 58 for definitions of the various pieces of information): |
| (a) | Programme name |
| (b) | Programme type |
| (c) | NQF level |
| (d) | NQF Sub-framework |
| (e) | DHET programme code |
| (f) | NQF organising field |
| (g) | SAQA credits |
| (h) | Funding weights for personnel |
| (i) | Funding weights for capital expenditure |
| (j) | Funding weights for non-personnel non-capital |
Details on the determination of funding weights are provided in paragraph 87. In addition, the national register should indicate the typical programme duration, for example whether the programme is typically trimester, semester or a one-year programme. The national register does not indicate hard and fast programme duration, as this aspect of service delivery requires some flexibility.
