Start-up Business Training Programmes

HR

We offer a Modular Approach to your learning requirements. Our Learning Modules are practical and relevant and facilitated by specialists in their respective work fields. The Modules have depth of content and are interactive and informative. Individual and group exercises, case studies and practical discussions are used to embed the learning.

A registered Psychometrist provides feedback on the assessment measures (entrepreneurial, leadership, abilities, interests).

All our Modules have post-course on-the-job assignments for completion and submission. These assignments are linked to the learning in the Module(s) you complete and assist you to practically apply your learning in the workplace.
