Training & skills development in Gauteng: local notes
Head offices here train at scale: supervisor and new manager programmes, customer service and soft skills courses for call centres, and learnerships for unemployed youth in partnership with the Services SETA, merSETA or the W&RSETA. Outsourced SDFs handle many WSP and ATR submissions due on 30 April. Accredited facilitator, assessor and moderator courses run often in Johannesburg and Pretoria, so ask about QCTO status and the next intake before paying.
Facilitators and providers in Gauteng
More sessions are booked in Gauteng than anywhere else in the country, simply because so many head offices, national departments and their agencies sit between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Strategy days for corporate executive teams in Sandton and Rosebank, APP sessions for departments in Pretoria, induction and compliance training for call centres and warehouses in Midrand and Ekurhuleni, and year-end functions that need an MC all happen in the same few months. Most facilitators, training providers and AV firms are based here and travel out to other provinces. Venues range from office park conference centres to hotels near OR Tambo and lodges in the Cradle of Humankind. Plan around traffic, afternoon thunderstorms in summer and a full diary from October.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Companies and head offices: communication, presentation and conflict courses for office teams and new managers
- Small and family businesses: customer service and phone skills for a small team that deals with clients every day
- Schools, colleges and universities: communication and conflict skills for school admin staff and lecturers

A useful tip: ask whether the venue has a generator or inverter that runs the projector and PA.
Soft Skills Training usually suits frontline, office and supervisory staff. The work: role play, practice and feedback. For companies and head offices, the biggest group here, that usually means communication, presentation and conflict courses for office teams and new managers. On the season: summer afternoon storms can cut power and soak outdoor plans; winter mornings are cold.
