THETA, the Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Education and Training Authority, is the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) established under the Skills Development Act (No 97 of 1998) [the Skills Act] for the Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Economic Sector.
SETA's main function is to contribute to the raising of skills - to bring skills to the employed, or those wanting to be employed, in their sector. They have to do this by ensuring that people learn skills that are needed by employers and communities. There is no value in training people if they cannot use the skills they have learnt. Training and skills development is not just for young people starting their first jobs though it is important for them too! The skills of people already in jobs must also be enhanced.
Training must be to agreed standards, within a national framework wherever possible. It is no good if someone is trained in one province if their qualifications are not recognised in another. It is not ideal for one employer to increase the skills of his or her staff if another employer does not recognise them. All training, wherever it is provided, should be subject to quality control and where appropriate be compared to the best international standards.
To achieve these objectives SETA must:

"These materials were written over the last few years by writers commissioned by the Tourism Learnership Project (TLP) as part of a learning materials development initiative to support the new qualifications produced for the tourism, hospitality and conservation sub-sectors.
The intention was to ensure that there are materials available, especially where none had existed for new areas of learning. However, they do not replace other sources of materials, particularly those which existed in some form prior to the establishment of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). They are also not intended for learners to use alone - but rather as supports for trainer, be they training in the workplace or in a more formal training setting.
With the emphasis being on outcomes, rather than the method or process of training, trainers remain free to use whatever materials they feel are useful to them. These materials, then, are only a contribution to the pool of materials available and do not assume to be definitive, nor are they prescribed by either the TLP or THETA. We hope these materials are a useful support for the skills development work in which you are engaged." Courtesy THETA.
