We offer a top-to-tail solution, covering every stage of the learnership lifecycle:
At Transcend, we believe that ticking the box on BEE compliance is not enough. True, sustainable transformation requires companies to rethink how they operate, who they partner with, and how they approach skills development. Learnerships should never be seen as an add-on, but as a powerful tool to grow talent pipelines and strengthen your business.
We specialise in designing and managing BEE learnerships that add measurable value to both business and society. Our expertise spans industries and our approach prioritises disability inclusion, helping to create pathways for one of the most marginalised groups in the workforce.
By investing in disability learnerships, your company can unlock additional B-BBEE scorecard benefits, advance ESG and inclusive employment goals, and demonstrate real impact beyond compliance.


At Transcend, we believe in unlocking real value through skills development that leads to long-term employability and economic inclusion. Our QCTO and SETA accredited programmes are built on a multi-structured learning model that equips learners with both the qualifications and the practical exposure they need to succeed in the working world.
Learnerships result in a nationally recognised qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). These programmes are designed to deliver more than just technical skills—they also develop critical life and workplace competencies such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Our learnerships are fully accredited, quality-assured, and aligned with South Africa’s national qualifications framework. Whether you are looking to empower unemployed youth or looking to invest in your team, we’re here to guide you through every step of the journey. Each programme is governed by a structured agreement between the employer, the learner, and an accredited training provider.
This ensures alignment, compliance, and impact from day one. Through these programmes, you not only meet your Skills Development and B-BBEE objectives, but also contribute meaningfully to South Africa’s socio-economic transformation by creating pathways to sustainable employment.

Every learnership results in a nationally recognised qualification on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Beyond technical training, our programmes build essential workplace competencies such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
By investing in accredited learnerships, you not only strengthen your workforce but also meet Skills Development and B-BBEE scorecard goals, claim incentives, and contribute to long-term transformation.
Why Choose QCTO & SETA Learnerships?
Learnerships directly support your B-BBEE strategy by earning valuable points under the Skills Development element—particularly for training unemployed youth or people living with disabilities.
All learnerships are aligned to the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), giving learners access to formal qualifications and further career progression—while helping you build a more capable, future-ready workforce.
By investing in learnerships, you’re building loyalty and upskilling employees in ways that align with your business needs, making it easier to retain and grow talent from within.
