One of the easiest ways to boost your B-BBEE rating is through skills development. The codes demand a far greater investment in skills development, with a particular emphasis on accredited training (i.e. ECSA CPD Courses).

“It is important to ensure that an organisation’s training and development budget is spent wisely. We therefore provide a cost efficient and effective training solution to ensure that your Return on Investment is justified, and you get value for money”, states Brenda Lacey-Smith, Manager of CESA’s School of Consulting Engineering (SCE).

Having presented face-to-face CPD validated training courses for the past 20 years, the SCE has adapted to our changing world and has implemented a very successful and easy to use online training platform that is as, and if not more, effective than the classroom training experience.

In addition to this the SCE is now also offering a ‘hybrid learning’ or ‘blended learning’ experience where companies are able to host an inhouse course and have some staff in their boardroom and other staff online, sometime situated all over the world.

In house training provides even greater flexibility in that instead of running a 2-day course back-to-back, it can be split into two one day training sessions allowing each training day to be hosted in different weeks. This assists companies so that employees are not out the office or off site for two consecutive days.

The SCE’s new Learner Management System has the capability to assess each delegate by way of an online quiz. If the delegate passes the quiz, they will receive a CPD certificate and if the delegate does not pass after several tries, they will receive a certificate of attendance. This quiz typically comprises 10 multiple choice questions per training day, in which the participant must score at least 70% or more before receiving their certificate. However, the company may reduce or increase this pass mark.

The SCE tailors training to your company’s needs, objectives and at the same time creating a team building experience, with a choice of over 80 courses and 25 subject matter experts.
