Learnerships are of a specified nature, level and duration (usually one year) resulting in a nationally recognised
qualification. Learnerships are provided by employers (both large and small) in conjunction with the learner, the relevant SETA (sector education and training authority), and or an accredited training provider.
Generally, learnerships are work based and enable successful, competent learners the opportunity to progress in a job. Each learner is required to enter into a standard contract, obtainable through a SETA, which regulates the learnership process.

The Protection of Personal Information Act of 2013 has been one of the most talked about legislations in recent years. POPI has become more necessary in recent years and even months as businesses continue to evolve and make use of the internet.

Although legislative requirements are mandatory for all businesses, its safe to say that POPI presents businesses with other benefits that makes the exercise of becoming compliant worth it.

Businesses can benefit from applying best practices, provide clients and customers with assurances that their data is protected, and implement improvement initiatives that can save a business time and money.

We provide our clients with gap analyses, training and post implementation audits to ensure that all initiatives implemented guarantee that your organisation becomes and remains compliant. We also offer our clients the comfort of knowing that if anything changes within the regulatory space that they will be the first to know
