Facilitator.co.za is a free quote service for facilitation in South Africa. Whether it is a strategy session for the executive team, a workshop with community stakeholders, a training course for supervisors, a team day for a call centre, an MC for the year-end function, an accredited course for new trainers or a venue with flip charts, one brief reaches the facilitators, providers and suppliers near you.

How it works

Use the session brief at the bottom of the page. For a workshop, training day, team building or a strategy session, say how many people, how many days and whether it is in person, virtual or hybrid, and the planner suggests how many facilitators, breakout groups and flip charts it takes and sketches the room. For a venue, projection or sound, give the number of delegates and the layout, and it works out roughly how much floor space you need. For courses, learnerships, MCs, speakers and supplies, just say how many. We send your brief to providers who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.

Everything we take requests for

From a bosberaad for a provincial department in Polokwane and a lekgotla for a Sandton head office, to shift team building at a mine near Rustenburg, an imbizo in Mthatha, supervisor training at a plant in Secunda, a year-end function MC in Durban, a facilitator course for ten staff in Bloemfontein, a WSP before 30 April in Gqeberha, a venue for 120 delegates in Stellenbosch or forty flip chart pads delivered to a training room in Midrand.

Getting proposals you can compare

Two quotes for "facilitate our strategy day" can be very different jobs. Check that each proposal starts from the outcome you want, then compare the number of facilitators, the facilitation days and any design and write-up days, travel and accommodation, materials and kits, who arranges the venue, AV and catering, the report you get afterwards, the deposit and the cancellation terms. For courses, compare the accreditation, the contact days, the portfolio of evidence and the certification. For venues and equipment, compare the same layout, the same number of delegates and the same days.

Frequently asked questions

Does Facilitator.co.za provide the facilitators itself?
No. We are a free quote service. You send one request and we pass it to independent facilitators, trainers, training providers, MCs, speakers, venues and suppliers who work in your area. They contact you directly with a proposal or a price, and you are under no obligation to accept any of them.
What is the difference between a facilitator and a trainer?
A facilitator runs a process so the group does the thinking and reaches its own decisions, plan or agreement, and stays neutral on the content. A trainer teaches content and checks that people can apply it. Many people do both. See workshop facilitators and training facilitators.
How many facilitators do we need?
As a rough guide, one facilitator can run an interactive workshop for about 20 to 25 people; bigger groups need a co-facilitator or table hosts, and team building activities often need one facilitator for about 15 people. The planner in the form works it out for your group. See facilitators.
Can you help with accredited training and the WSP?
Yes, we pass those requests on too: accredited facilitator courses and assessor and moderator courses, learnerships, and skills development facilitators who draft the Workplace Skills Plan and the Annual Training Report for your SETA.
