As a Level 4 B-BBEE company, we relied on NS Projects to design our Skills Development element. They helped us achieve 18 points effortlessly.
NS Projects transformed our workforce! Their SETA-aligned leadership program upskilled 120 of our managers with practical tools. Productivity increased by 35% within 6 months.
Their team guided us through the full QCTO accreditation process in record time. No delays, no surprises—just expert compliance support.
After completing NS Projects’ entrepreneurship course, I launched my catering business. Today, I employ 4 others from my community.
Their PFMA training for our municipal staff was a game-changer. Finally, a provider who makes complex finance policies understandable!
