ARPL:

ARPL formally credits skills learned on the job. It gives an experienced painter an alternative route to a trade certificate by recognising informal learning and work experience, rather than requiring a full traditional apprenticeship

Completion (Trade Test):

Under exam conditions, candidates complete a two-day comprehensive painting project. Successful candidates receive Red Seal certification.

In South Africa, the Red Seal qualification is the national artisan trade certificate (a Section 26D certificate) issued by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) once you’ve passed an external trade test moderated by the National Artisan Moderation Body (NAMB). It formally recognises your competence in a specific trade (e.g., electrician) at the appropriate NQF level, is valid nationwide, and replaced the old Section 13/28 certificates under the Manpower Training Act.
