The Kwelanga Fireside Chat Series: Real Conversations on the Future of Accredited Training

As the learning and development landscape evolves, so must the way we approach accredited training and transformation.

To help our clients and partners navigate this next chapter with clarity, confidence and community, Kwelanga Training is proud to introduce the Kwelanga Fireside Chat Webinar Series.

This new series creates space for open, expert-led discussions on the changes shaping South Africa’s training environment – from accreditation transitions to B-BBEE implications and legacy learnership opportunities.

Our first session kicks off on Wednesday, 19 November 2025, and focuses on a critical topic:

Session 1: Accredited Training – Life Before and After 30 June 2026

The QCTO transition is redefining how accredited training is structured and delivered. This session unpacks what that means for organisations, how to plan effectively for your current and future financial year-ends, and what opportunities remain post-30 June 2026.

We’ll cover three essential themes:

1. Understanding the QCTO Shift: Preparing for Change

  • The impact of QCTO and what this transition means for accredited training providers and employers.
  • Practical steps you can take now to prepare for your current and future financial year-ends (FYEs).
  • Clarity on what learning programmes and opportunities remain available after 30 June 2026.

2. Training and the B-BBEE Scorecard Impact

  • A visual breakdown of how accredited vs non-accredited training contributes to the Generic Scorecard.
  • Insight into how Kwelanga’s flagship programmes can help strengthen your organisation’s training strategy and overall transformation outcomes.

3. Legacy Learnerships and Unit Standards

  • How to bolster your scorecard now by leveraging existing legacy learnerships and unit standards.
  • What proactive steps to take today to ensure your current and future FYEs are strategically aligned with both compliance and capability-building goals.

Each Fireside Chat offers a space for learning professionals, HR leaders, and transformation champions to gain clarity on industry shifts while engaging in open dialogue with our expert team. This isn’t a one-way presentation – it’s a shared conversation about the future of learning in South Africa.
