[ What is a Pastel Authorised Training Centre (ATC) ]

Pastel ATC’s are independent training centres that deliver a range of Pastel Accounting software, educational and vocational training on the Pastel product training range. The Pastel ATC programme is global in intent and is considered an important resource for training on Pastel Accounting and related business products.

[ Why choose to offer Pastel Training courses at your Training Centre ]

Industry commentators regard Pastel as the ideal product for the SME market. Pastel is a leading global developer of accounting software, offering a comprehensive range of solutions for all types of small and medium sized businesses.

[ Benefits in training the Pastel products / courses at your Training Centre ]

[ The Students Benefits ]

Accounting is very much a life skills subject where training centres should not only be teaching students accounting, but also to give them basic skills to provide them the opportunity to take their place in the economy. Within the business world it is essential that employees have the necessary computer skills as well. It is therefore become an important requirement that students are exposed to a computerised accounting programme, wherever possible. In doing so as an ATC you will end up giving each of your students the competitive edge when it comes to employment.

[ Training Centre Benefits ]

[ Automatic Accreditation with FASSET ]

Pastel is a QAP of FASSET’s (QAP/585/008). For this reason any training centres that sign up with Pastel

to be an ATC will receive automatic accreditation with FASSET.

ATCs are able to use the Fasset logo, provided they go through Fasset’s marketing department. Fasset’s marketing department will regulate the use of the logo. All students who attend training with a Pastel ATC and pass their assessments will have their results uploaded to the Fasset database in order for them to obtain their credits for the course aligned to Unit Standards.

[ Pastel Training Material ]

Pastel ATC’s will enjoy exclusive access to Pastel Training Manuals. These manuals are designed to teach Pastel’s accounting products across a range of learner levels from basic processing to advanced functionality. All manuals are written to include practical tasks, clear explanations and wherever possible are aligned to unit standards. Each manual sold includes an assessment for the student to obtain a Competency Certificate on completion of the assessment.

[ Recognition and Logo ]

Pastel ATC’s are provided exclusive access to the Pastel ATC logo and a yearly accreditation certificate which can be used to market their training services. The logo and certificate emphasises the Pastel ATC credibility as a certified provider of Pastel training. The logos may be used in advertising, on business cards and in other communications.

[ Referrals & Lead Opportunities ]

Pastel ATC’s will be linked to our referral database. Students who visit our website in search of a training centre will select the area and the product they require training on. The referral system will forward the students’ details through to the first Pastel ATC on the list. The list works on a round robin basis, thus providing each ATC with a fair opportunity to contact the students. The Referral system is based on an ATC whose account is up to date and who has the latest PCI and PCT linked to their account and updated details. There must also be a valid email linked to the account. Do not base your business on the referral system.

[ Pastel Training Promotions ]

Pastel regularly offers specials on our training material and assessments and will only be on mailers. Please ensure that Pastel has your updated email address.

[ Technical Support ]

The Pastel Technical Support Team provides e-mail support to the ATC training centre only on the training centre machines / PCs. This support does not extend to individual students at an ATC.

The software is licensed for the 12 months of the contract and is for the purpose of training students on Pastel products only. These training-use licenses are separate from your internal business licenses and protected by copy write guidelines. Copying or reproducing of the software is strictly prohibited.

Please note: Software installed in Demonstration mode may not be used for training purposes. The educational licenses are campus specific not company specific. Each campus is required to have their own license (Audits will be done on a regular basis).

Pastel assessment is as follows: A Pastel certification is a globally accepted means of assessing an essential set of abilities When employees are confident using Pastel, they will deliver a significant return on investment back

to their employer A Pastel certificate is evidence that an employee is competent enough to perform the tasks

ATC’s wishing to offer training on Pastel Add-On-Modules must complete the relevant Pastel training and assessments prior to advertising these courses. These courses are not trained in the above mandatory courses and will be additional.

A Pastel trainer would be required to ensure that they always keep their PCI accreditation up to date with the latest product version of Pastel. This can be done by attending the Pastel Bridging courses provided that your accreditation is always on the previous version.

Pastel trainers would also need to attend the Pastel PCT course. Any trainers, who have the Train the Trainer certification or a teaching certificate may be exempted from the PCT course, provided they produce a copy of the certificate with the ATC application form.

Details of the Pastel Trainer must be included in the ATC application form and must be kept updated. The Pastel Trainer may be full or part-time trainers, employed or on contract.

When applying for a Pastel ATC status for the first time, the training centre needs to ensure that all trainers must have completed the required training courses and passed the assessments prior to teaching any classes.

If an ATC does not have a qualified up to date PCI and PCT linked to their account, their referral system will not be active.

Should you be renewing your Pastel ATC status or still fulfilling your annual ATC contract and Pastel releases a new product version, Pastel Certified Trainers are required to successfully complete a refresher / bridging course to update their certification to the next product version.

During your Pastel ATC contract with Pastel, should any of your Pastel trainers leave and you appoint new Pastel trainers, these trainers would need to successfully complete the required Pastel training courses per product.

Please note: All Pastel ATC’s have a maximum of 3 months to up skill their Pastel trainers on joining or renewing their ATC

contract or when Pastel launches a new product version. Failure to adhere to any of the certification requirements requested will results in immediate termination

[ Customer Service Requirements ]

ATC’s are required to establish and publish quality control and general customer-satisfaction policies:

These policies need to be made available to every learner prior to learner enrolment and payment. The policies must include reasonable quality guarantees, instructor evaluations, possible options for retaking a class at no additional charge, and similar implementations.

Pastel Accounting monitors and tracks customer complaints and expects each Pastel ATC to ensure that customers receive the best training experience. Continuous complaints can lead to probation or termination of ATC status.

ATC Complaints:

When Pastel receives a complaint, the ATC will be contacted by our ATC Account Manager who will investigate the matter. A written report of the incident will be sent through to the ATC in which a response will be expected within 48 hours. Failure to respond to the incident will result in temporary suspension of ATC status.

Pastel will review the report from the ATC in question regarding the complaint, as well as the complainant’s report will be reviewed. If the ATC is found guilty of the complaints brought against them they will receive 1 demerit. The ATC will be given the opportunity to appeal and would then enter into a grievance procedure. Details of the grievance procedure can be found on the ATC zone. If an ATC has obtained a total of 5 demerits against them, their Pastel accreditation will be terminated with immediate effect.

In cases of complaints Pastel will remain unbiased and will try to resolve the issue amicably.

Please note: All complaints and responses must be dealt with in writing / email for documentation purposes.

[ Centre Operations and Training Management Requirements ]

Paying the annual Pastel ATC fee:

Pastel grants ATC’s status for one year. At the end of each year all ATC’s are required to renew their status by paying the annual licence fee, accepting the then current agreement, and ensuring that all trainers hold the prerequisite certification.

First time applicants are required to submit signed application forms, confirming agreement to the contractual information contained in this document, together with a business proposal, supporting documents and photos of the training centre. Only once the prospective ATC has been approved, will payment of the annual fee become due. This process takes two to four weeks from date of receipt of documentation provided that all documentations are in order.

At time of application an ATC is required to pay for a minimum one year. The first renewal fee will be a pro-rata charge to take the ATC to the next 31 December renewal. Every year thereafter the full renewal fee will be due on 31 December for the period 1 January – 31 December being measured as the accredited year.

Page 8: [ What is a Pastel Authorised Training Centre (ATC) ]ezines.pastel.co.za/HTMLs/December 2011/ATC Newsletter 2012/documents... · produce a copy of the certificate with the ATC application

Prior to programme renewal, ATC’s will receive a reminder that their annual Pastel ATC fee is due. An invoice is sent during November, to the main contact on your ATC account.

Please note: All ATC’s are required to renew their ATC status during December each year. Payment needs to be made by the 31st December each year. A penalty fee of $ 125 will be charged for any late payments of renewals effect from the 1st January until 31st

January only Please do not expect Pastel to remind you for this payment. ATC’s need to ensure they renew before the 31 December every year Notice of Termination/cancellation must be given in writing 60 days prior to the renewal date

Accepting the Pastel ATC Contract after renewal:

All Pastel ATC’s are required to accept a new Pastel ATC contract each year after the renewal. This is done by logging onto the Pastel ATC zone and accepting as well as updating any information regarding your Training Centre. Fax or email through the signed copy of the contract to Pastel.

Only after acceptance of the Pastel ATC contract will Pastel send the Pastel ATC their new certification and educational package for the year.

reactivation

Hold classes only at your Pastel Approved sites:

The use of non-authorised sites for public Pastel training is prohibited and may result in termination of ATC status.

Onsite training:

ATCs may offer and deliver training to a private company, organisation or individual on site provided they hold an onsite trainer ATC accreditation. ATCs may advertise private classes to individuals, either directly or through a third party.

[ Assessment and Certification for Students Requirements ]

Student Assessments and Training Zone:

All Pastel assessments are hosted on a Pastel online assessment programme. The cost for the assessment is automatically included in the training course / training material sold to the student / ATC. The Serial Number will be included on the Invoice that Pastel sends through to the ATC.

With every course that a student attends, be it with Pastel or the ATC, the student is required to go onto the Training Zone and fill in all the details required by FASSET. This needs to be completed regardless whether the student decides to take the assessment or not.

We do however encourage all students to take the assessments in order to obtain certification and be registered for credits with FASSETS. We expect that our ATC will do the same.

From the date of the course / registration, the student will have 6 months in order to write their assessment and obtain their accreditation.

Page 9: [ What is a Pastel Authorised Training Centre (ATC) ]ezines.pastel.co.za/HTMLs/December 2011/ATC Newsletter 2012/documents... · produce a copy of the certificate with the ATC application

Because all Pastel assessments are online, students can chose to write their assessments anytime and anyplace they see fit as long as they have internet access to do so.

ATC are however allowed to host assessment session at their premises for students who do not have internet access at their home. ATC can then also charge the student for administration and PC / internet usage fees at their discretion

Please note: It is the duty of the ATC to ensure that each student register their assessment serial number in order for the

student to write their assessment.

Certificates:

Students will receive an electronic certificate of competency from Pastel once they have completed and passed the Pastel assessment.

Fees will be charged for hard copies of certificates.

Only certificates issued by Pastel ourselves may carry the Pastel name, branding and certification. Any certificates issued by the training centre may not include the Pastel logo or name and may not contain text implying successfully completion of a Pastel course Pastel does not issue attendance certificates.

[ Communication Requirements ]

The primary means of communication between Pastel and ATC’s is through email. It is essential that internet and email access is available.

Pastel will distribute email newsletters to highlight new opportunities and announcements.

The primary contact is required to ensure the information provided by email communication is immediately disseminated within your organisation. In the interest of keeping our records updated, please advise us of any changes to your contact details by emailing [email protected] or by logging onto the ATC Zone and updating them.

In order for ATC’s to access the ATC Zone on the Pastel website internet connectivity is vital.

Access to this zone provides trainers with additional training aids, course files, use of the knowledge base for error troubleshooting, the booking of delegate assessments and more.
