Questions and Answers

Some frequently asked questions by students:
 
Q: If I come on a FGASA course can I do the corresponding BOTA qualification or do I need to be a Citizen or resident to get the qualification?

A: Anybody can register with BOTA and be assessed against the BOTA standards but in order to convert your BOTA qualification to a guides license you will need a valid work and residence permit for Botswana as well as 5 years work-place experience.

 

Q: If I have my FGASA level 2 can I get recognition of prior learning (RPL) and get the corresponding BOTA level 2 qualification?

A: While there is negotiations with BOTA and FGASA to RPL each other’s qualifications this does not exist yet. Once this has been agreed upon there are still Unit Standards specific to Botswana that need to be completed before you can be given a BOTA qualification.
