CORPORATE PROFILE Including Training Catalogue

COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Academy of People Development (APD) is a Primary Co-Operative that

has been established through the nurturing of People Development Africa.

APD specializes in capacitating individuals operating in the education,

training and development practice (ETDP) field to fully understand the

context of the national skills development strategy. This approach is an

expression of our company motto – “a candle loses nothing by lighting

another”.

Thelma Bowers has established the company with a single-minded focus on

quality training delivery and skills development for the South African (and

indeed pan-African) marketplace. We are a level 3 B-BBEE contributor

headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa.

We have a particularly strong focus on accredited training in support of the

national qualifications framework (NQF) as we built our reputation on the

training of assessors, moderators and skills development facilitators.

We have adapted to the market and now offer a vehicle to new entrants to

the ETD field with NQF Level 4, Level 5 and Level 6.

We have also extended our scope to Wholesale & Retail Seta now offering

the National Certificate of Warehousing 49280.
