A Jeppe College graduate lost out on an opportunity to get a permanent job because her information technology diploma could not be verified.
After her studies, she was issued with two valid certificates – IT Technical Support Level 4 and System Support Level 5 – which opened doors for her to be an IT intern in the department from June 2017 until May last year. Tsimane said the department’s human resources staff advised her to go to the South African Qualifications Authority in Pretoria so that it could evaluate the diploma.
The official, Tsimane said, advised her to report the matter to Jeppe College. Tsimane said she approached the college on June 5 2017 for help, but, to date, she has not been assisted. Its website states that the institute was founded in 1878 by the City of London Corporation and 16 livery companies to protect and promote the standard of technical education.The college, responding through a Johannesburg law firm that declined to be named, told City Press that the matter was the subject of a dispute between it and City & Guilds.
City & Guilds spokesperson Adriana Neves confirmed that Jeppe College’s diploma was accredited by it.
It all depends where she studied? Is the college registered?
