The Academy of People Development delivers nationally recognised, SETA-accredited qualifications and skills development programmes that transform individuals and organisations across South Africa.
The Academy of People Development (APD) is a Primary Co-Operative established through the nurturing of People Development Africa. We recognised the critical need for quality training and development across South African industries and set out to bridge that gap.
We specialise in capacitating individuals in the Education, Training and Development Practice (ETDP) field, helping them fully understand the National Skills Development Strategy. Our reputation is built on the training of Assessors, Moderators, and Skills Development Facilitators.
Our motto says it all: "A candle loses nothing by lighting another."
