Learning & Development

Learning that works (hard) for your business.

We build skilled, capable teams — and keep you compliant and claiming back at the same time. From appointing your SDF to submitting your WSP and unlocking SETA funding, we make L&D a business advantage, not a box to tick.

What we do

L&D as strategy — skills, funding and rebates as delivery.

Learning & Development is the strategy; skills development, grants and tax rebates are how we deliver it. Our work runs on two connected workstreams.

SDF & committee appointments

We help you appoint an internal Skills Development Facilitator and skills committee — or act as your independent SDF ourselves.

WSP & ATR submissions

We prepare and submit your Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report to your SETA, ahead of the deadline — and apply for an extension if one's ever needed.

SETA mandatory & discretionary grants

We spot the opportunities, apply on your behalf, and advise on timelines — so you don't leave funding on the table.

Section 12(H) tax incentives

We help you claim the learnership tax allowances your qualifying training entitles you to.

L&D risk assessment

We assess your standing against the Skills Development Act and flag any gaps before they become problems.

OFO code classification

We map your job titles to the correct OFO codes — the backbone of accurate skills reporting.

Annual review

We reassess your compliance each year and update your plan as your business and the legislation change.

Training Needs Analysis

We identify the skills your business actually needs, and recommend the right interventions and providers.

Resource library

Practical, valuable insights through our HR-related resource library.

Learner tracking & reporting

Through our eSDF tool, you get the functionality to track learners and report on training.

How we work

A simple partnership — from first call to year-round support.

Four steps that turn a daunting skills problem into a clear plan.

Needs analysis

An initial consultation, in person or online, to understand your challenges and goals.

Tailored proposal

We identify the gaps and scope a solution to fit your business — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Implementation support

Once you sign off, we build the solution and track progress with you.

Continuous improvement

On a retainer, we keep you compliant and improving year on year.

Why work with us

Not consultants in suits — the people who get it done with you.

Hands-on help, practical solutions, delivered on time, in a genuine partnership. We carry the load and keep you in control.

SDF depth on tap

Our team includes 22 qualified Skills Development Facilitators — the depth to run your skills compliance properly.

Funding that pays its way

We turn training spend into SETA grants, tax rebates and BEE points — so L&D earns its keep.

On time, every time

Your WSP and ATR filed ahead of the 30 April deadline — never a last-minute scramble.

A real partnership

On retainer, we reassess and improve your skills plan year after year.

Common questions

Skills & funding, answered plainly.

What is a WSP and ATR, and when are they due?
The Workplace Skills Plan sets out your planned training; the Annual Training Report records what you did. Both go to your SETA each year, ahead of the deadline — 30 April. We prepare and submit both, and unlock the grants attached to them.
Can we claim money back for training?
Often, yes — through SETA mandatory and discretionary grants and the Section 12(H) tax allowance for qualifying learnerships. We help you plan training so it qualifies, then claim what you're owed.
What is an SDF, and do we need one?
A Skills Development Facilitator manages your training compliance and SETA submissions. You can appoint one internally, or we can act as your independent SDF — either way, we make sure the role is filled correctly.
