1. Purpose
Skills Education Through Achievement recognises that inaccurate information about education, employment and funding can cause confusion and may lead readers to miss opportunities or make poor decisions.
Our Fact-Checking Policy explains how we aim to verify important information before publication and when reviewing existing articles.
2. Preferred Sources
Where available, we prioritise original and authoritative sources, including:
- Official employer and organisation websites.
- Government department announcements.
- Official SETA communications and programme notices.
- University, college and training institution publications.
- Original application advertisements and official application portals.
- Direct statements from the organisation responsible for an opportunity.
Other sources may help identify a topic or provide context, but important details should be checked against stronger evidence whenever possible.
3. Details We Aim to Verify
For learnerships, internships, bursaries and vacancies, we aim to check:
Organisation: Whether the opportunity is attributed to the correct organisation.

Programme details: The name, purpose, location and duration, where stated.
Eligibility: Required qualifications, age restrictions, experience and other conditions.
Financial information: Stipends, salaries, allowances or funding amounts where officially stated.
Application process: The correct application method, supporting documents and official link.
Deadlines: Opening dates, closing dates and any confirmed extensions.
If a detail cannot be verified, we aim to omit it, qualify the wording or explain the uncertainty.
4. No Invented Information
We do not intend to invent programme requirements, contact details, quotations, deadlines, salaries, stipends or official application links.
We also aim to avoid presenting estimates, assumptions or information from unrelated programmes as confirmed facts about a particular opportunity.
5. Cross-Checking and Conflicting Information
Where sources disagree, we aim to consult the original announcement or contact the responsible organisation where practical.
If the discrepancy cannot be resolved, we may explain that the information is uncertain and direct readers to the official source for clarification.
6. Application Links and Fraud Risks
Application links deserve particular care because readers may be asked to provide personal information.
We aim to direct readers to verified official websites or application channels where possible. If we cannot establish the legitimacy of a link, we should avoid presenting it as confirmed and explain that readers need to verify it independently.
Readers should be cautious of suspicious fees, unofficial messaging accounts and requests for sensitive credentials.
7. Reviewing Published Articles
Fact-checking does not end when an article is published.
We aim to review content when credible new information becomes available, when a reader reports a potential error or when a material change to an opportunity is identified.
Corrections and updates are handled in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
8. Limits of Verification
S.S.E.T.A. is an independent information website. We do not control the organisations whose opportunities we describe, and we cannot guarantee that every third-party statement remains accurate after publication.
Verification efforts reduce the risk of error but cannot eliminate it entirely.
Readers should confirm important requirements and current application details with the responsible organisation before applying.
9. Reporting Information
If you identify a potentially inaccurate statement, please contact us with the article URL, the disputed detail and supporting evidence.
