Training Committees, Learnerships, SETA, Grant Claims and Quality Assurance of Training - for the uninformed, the combination of these, and their multiple points of reference, make skills development a complicated and daunting subject.

Andrea van der Westhuizen, a specialised skills development and employment equity consultant, will guide you through an informative and interactive three-day workshop that will give you a comprehensive and clear overview of everything you need to know to unlock the benefits of the Skills Development Act - as well as the information and tools you need to formulate and implement a comprehensive Skills Development Strategy in your organisation.

This highly interactive workshop includes the use of workmats, templates and practical activities - allowing the learner to draw their own conclusions and create their own learning path. This ensures outcomes-based adult learning, with an emphasis on integration and understanding. Learners will be able to implement skills development in a strategic, integrated way in order for the benefits of the skills development act to be unlocked, allowing them to:

- Fully understand and communicate the philosophy and essence of the Skills Development Act, the strategy around it, and its impact on your organisation
- Define a full, relevant skills development process within your company, ensuring maximum benefit for all stakeholders
- Implement and facilitate skills development practices - including coordination, quality assurance and education.

Delegates will be invited to submit a Portfolio of Evidence as an assessment against the three new SDF unit standards. Assessment guidance and evidence collection is integrated into this course, allowing for a streamlined assessment process.
