INTRODUCTION
The Fasset Sector Skills Plans (SSPs) have consistently shown that the two main strategic focus areas for the
Seta are 1) support for small businesses in funding training, and thereby potentially growing the employment
profile and 2) ensuring that transformation of the demographic profile of the sector occurs to ensure population
group representivity and the supply of labour to the sector.
Made up of predominantly small organisations, employers in the Fasset sector have the potential to create
employment opportunities. The sector mainly comprises a large number of very small organisations and a small
number of very large employers. The majority (96%) of the organisations have fewer than 50 employees
(Source: Fasset SSP 2010/2011).
Current learner registration statistics (at 3 November 2010) indicate that only 50% of learners are black (this
includes African, Coloured and Indian people) and only 0.3% of learners have disabilities. It is also evident from
the demographics of the „Professionals‟ occupational group that black learners are not adequately integrated
into the sector.
As a result of this trend, Fasset is offering a grant geared to Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises (SMMEs).
This grant enables employers to apply for a cash incentive if they have funded education and training interventions (as defined below) in the financial year 2011/2012 from 1 January to 31 December 2011 for specific employee groups.
As this grant is operating on a first-come first-served basis, employers are not guaranteed that their grant
application will be approved. Employers are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible to
avoid disappointment.
One application must be completed per beneficiary being claimed.
GENERAL CRITERIA FOR GRANT APPROVAL
The grant application must be submitted to Fasset by no later than 1 March 2012.
The Mandatory Grant for the period 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012 must have been submitted and have been
approved by Fasset for Skills Development Levy (SDL)-paying employers. The deadline for the Mandatory
Grant is 30 June 2011. Failure to submit the Mandatory Grant by this date disqualifies the SDL-paying employer from applying for any discretionary grants (including the Learnership Cash Grant and the Strategic Cash
Grant) during the financial year. Employers who are exempt from paying the SDL are not required to submit the
Mandatory Grant.
Non-Levy Payers (NLPs) must be registered NLPs with Fasset before applying for the grant. Relevant forms
are available in the Downloads section of the Fasset website.
The SDF submitting this application must be registered as an SDF with Fasset. Relevant forms are available in the Downloads section of the Fasset website.
Only employers employing fewer than 50 employees at the time of applying are eligible for the grant.
The grant application must be submitted to Fasset by no later than 1 March 2012 in respect of eligible learners
(as defined below) completing an eligible education and training intervention in the period 1 January 2011 to
31 December 2011.
No requests for extension will be considered.
A Seta may not pay any grant to an employer who is liable to pay the SDL in terms of section 3(1) of the SDL
Act unless the employer: has registered with the Commissioner in terms of the SDL Act, has paid the levies directly to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) in the manner and within the period determined in the SDL
Act, is up-to-date with levy payments to SARS at the time of approval and in respect of the application period,
has submitted a Mandatory Grant in respect of the previous financial year within the timeframes prescribed, and
is registered with Fasset.
Applications will be processed on a first-come first-served basis as of 1 April 2010, due to limited
funding. Completed grant applications will be processed in the order in which they are received.
Grant processing may take up to 3 months from the date of receipt of the application. Thereafter the request for
payment of an approved grant will be sent to the Seta finance department. Should all be in order with the applicant‟s banking details, the grant will be paid out two to three weeks thereafter.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The grant must be completed correctly and submitted in the required format.
The SDL number must appear on each page of the application form.

Office Park, Corner Beyers Naude & Judges Avenue, Blackheath) on 1 June.
Fasset offices close at 16h30 from Monday to Thursday, and at 16h00 on Friday. There is no „drop-box‟ on
Fasset‟s premises or means of delivering the physical document after office closure. The application may
however be faxed or emailed to the Seta before the deadline date. Please be aware that those delivering the

CONFIDENTIALITY
Fasset recognises the need for absolute discretion in respect of the information requested in grant applications.
Employers are assured that all information will be treated as confidential. Information received in the grant applications are aggregated for the purposes of the Sector Skills Plan (SSP), research and strategic directives.
SPECIFIC SMME GRANT CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
This grant is available to employers who provide financial support (internal bursaries) to specific employed
learners to study at recognised institutions or professional bodies in scarce skills areas.
The aim of the grant is to increase the number of specific learners with scarce skills in employment.
The employer must meet the following requirements:
Only employers employing less than 50 employees, when applying are eligible for the grant.
Employers may be SDL-paying or exempt from paying the SDL (NLPs).
SDL-paying employers must ensure they have submitted an approved Mandatory Grant for 2010/2011 by 30
June 2011.
An employer who has applied for the Learnership Cash Grant (LCG) or Strategic Cash Grant (SCG) in the
current financial year will not be eligible for this grant, and vice-versa. This is because the SMME Grant has
been introduced to provide access to employers who have not typically enjoyed the benefits of the LCG or the
SCG. Employers must decide which grant they would prefer to claim in the financial year.
The learners being applied for must meet the following requirements:
The course to be funded must relate to a scarce skill in the Fasset sector. The intervention may be linked to a 6digit Organising Framework for Occupations (OFO) code. Go to http://www.nopf.co.za/ for more information.
Employers may only apply for this grant on black (African, Coloured and Indian) learners. This means that
African, Coloured or Indian people who are South African (SA) citizens by birth or became a South African citizen before 27 April 1994 and have a valid SA identity document are eligible for the grant.
Employers may also apply for this grant on learners with disabilities, regardless of their population group and
gender. The Employment Equity Act of 1998 defines people with disabilities as „people who have a long-term or
recurring physical or mental impairment that substantially limits their prospects of entry into or advancement in
employment‟. Physical impairments include hearing and visual impairments, paralysis, amputations and probSMME Grant Guidelines 2011/2012

Fasset
lems with internal organs. Mental impairment includes clinically defined mental and emotional illnesses and
learning disabilities.
In addition to black and/or disabled learners being funded in scarce skills areas, employers may submit a claim
for National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 7 or 8 courses (including Masters, MBA, PhD and above and
excluding Honours in Accounting, BCompt or the like associated with obtaining a learnership or professional
designation) courses for white women. The „Old‟ NQF table will be used until the new descriptors are gazetted.
All claims must be in respect of learners who are in possession of a valid South African Identity document (ID)
and are South African citizens.
The learner must be employed by a Fasset-registered firm (SDL-paying or NLP).
The course must be offered to learners in full-time employment with the employer.
Only successful learners can be put forward for this grant.
'Double-dipping' on the same learner is also not allowed. A learner who has been submitted for the LCG or
SCG in the current or a previous financial year will not be eligible for this grant.
The educational intervention being applied for must meet the following requirements:
When reported in the grant application, the intervention may be linked to a 6-digit Organising Framework for
Occupations (OFO) code. Go to http://www.nopf.co.za/ for more information.
All claims must relate to a completed period of study. An official transcript or certificate showing successful
progression or completion, must accompany each application.
For undergraduate degrees, if a learner fails a minor subject which can be carried over without destroying the
overall length of the degree, then Fasset will assess the grant claim for the year. If a student fails a major subject which will affect the overall length of the study period for the degree and the learner does not progress into
the next year of the undergraduate degree, the claim will not be paid. The major subject/s of the learner must be
clearly indicated on the transcript.
The learner should complete the course of study within the period 1 January to 31 December 2011. This should
be reflected in the academic transcript or certificate.
Details of the recognised institution such as status of accreditation and alignment to unit standards and qualification must be reported in the application.
The NQF level of the course must be specified in the application, along with the duration of the course.
The education and skills level of the programme may span NQF level 1 to 8, however must be linked to a
scarce skill. The „Old‟ NQF table will be used until the new descriptors are gazetted.
No short courses, workshops or international conferences may be included in this grant claim. Courses
must be a minimum of one year, or 120 credits.
The educational intervention must be Learning Type A or B in the learning programmes matrix (see the table
below) i.e. (A) Institution-based theoretical instruction alone – formally assessed through the institution or (B)
Institution-based theoretical instruction and some practical learning with an employer or in a work simulated
environment – formally assessed through the institution.
The grant claim amounts are as follows:
The amount to be claimed is capped at a specific limit depending on the organisation size.
One application must be completed per beneficiary.
Claims are to be based on tariffs, not the cost. The grant is limited to the maximum amount stated per organisation size category, or the lesser amount of the tariff.
