SENDCV.co.za is committed to publishing useful, accurate and transparent information about education, careers and opportunities in South Africa.
This Editorial Policy explains the principles we follow when researching, writing, publishing and updating content.
Our Editorial Mission
Our mission is to help learners, students, graduates and job seekers access understandable and useful information about education, training and career opportunities.
Our coverage includes education news, bursaries, internships, learnerships, graduate programmes, skills development, government opportunities and careers.
Accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that factual information is accurate at the time an article is published.
Where appropriate, we verify important details against official sources.
Because application requirements, deadlines, programme availability and vacancies can change, readers should confirm time-sensitive information with the relevant organisation before applying.
Original and Useful Content
SENDCV aims to add value to information rather than simply reproduce announcements.
Depending on the story, our writers may provide:
- Context
- Explanations
- Eligibility information
- Application guidance
- Important dates
- Career relevance
- Practical advice
- Additional background information
We aim to make articles useful to readers while remaining faithful to the available source information.
Sources
Our sources may include:
- Government departments
- Official government documents
- Universities
- TVET colleges
- SETAs
- Official company websites
- Official recruitment portals
- Programme providers
- Public institutions
- Official press releases
- Other credible sources
Whenever practical, readers are directed to the official application or information source.
Headlines
SENDCV uses clear and descriptive headlines that accurately represent the content of an article.
We do not intentionally use misleading, deceptive or exaggerated headlines simply to generate clicks.
Headlines should help readers understand the main subject of a story before opening the article.
Opportunity Reporting
SENDCV publishes information about jobs, learnerships, internships, bursaries, scholarships, apprenticeships and other opportunities.
Publishing an opportunity does not mean that SENDCV is the employer, recruiter or programme provider.
We do not guarantee:
- Employment
- Admission
- Selection
- Funding
- A stipend
- Permanent employment
- Successful application
Unless explicitly confirmed by the relevant organisation, such outcomes should not be assumed.
Editorial Independence
SENDCV operates as an independent information platform.
Editorial decisions should be based on relevance, accuracy, usefulness and public interest.
Advertising, commercial relationships and other business considerations should not be used to intentionally misrepresent factual information.
Sponsored or promotional material, where applicable, should be distinguishable from independent editorial content.
Updates
We may update articles when:
- A deadline changes
- Eligibility requirements change
- An application method changes
- New information becomes available
- An important factual error is identified
- A programme or opportunity closes
Substantial changes may be reflected through an updated date or editorial note.
Corrections
If we identify a significant factual error, we will correct it in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
Readers are encouraged to report possible errors so that our editorial team can investigate them.
Author Responsibility
Authors are expected to:
- Research information carefully
- Use credible sources
- Avoid unsupported claims
- Clearly distinguish facts from opinions
- Avoid misleading language
- Follow our fact-checking standards
- Correct significant errors when identified
Reader Responsibility
Readers should independently verify important information before making decisions based on an article.
This is particularly important for job applications, bursaries, learnerships, internships and other opportunities where requirements and deadlines may change.
