SayPro Approval Rate Target:

To set a meaningful target for course approval rates, it’s important to balance ambition with realism based on historical data, the quality of the courses being submitted, and the requirements of the QCTO.

Suggested Target:

• Target Approval Rate: 90% Approval Rate for all courses submitted.

This would mean that out of the courses submitted for QCTO accreditation in February, SayPro aims to have 90% of them successfully approved. A 90% approval rate is a strong, ambitious goal but also feasible if courses are properly vetted and meet the QCTO’s standards.

Rationale:

• High Standards: Maintaining a 90% approval rate reflects the commitment to submitting high-quality courses that meet QCTO’s rigorous criteria.
• Encourages Quality Control: By setting this high target, SayPro will be incentivized to conduct thorough internal reviews, ensuring the courses are prepared to the highest standards before submission.

Action Steps to Achieve This Target:

1. Pre-Submission Quality Checks: Ensure all course materials are reviewed for accuracy, compliance with QCTO standards, and completeness. Set internal milestones for teams to complete these checks before submission.
2. Regular Communication with QCTO: Maintain a dialogue with QCTO throughout the process to clarify any issues or requirements that may arise, reducing the chance of rejection.
3. Track and Learn from Past Submissions: Analyze feedback and approval rates from previous months to identify any common issues or areas for improvement.

Approval Rate Monitoring:

• Set periodic checks (e.g., weekly) to assess the number of approved courses versus rejected ones and to identify if any changes are needed to achieve the 90% target.
