Tell us how many people need certifying, which machines they run and where they are based, and we come back with dates and a quotation. Training runs at our Mokopane centre or on your own site, anywhere in South Africa.
A group booking is one quotation, one set of dates and one batch of certificates for several people from the same employer. Instead of enrolling operators one at a time at the published per-person fee, you send us the list of who needs certifying and on what, and the booking is priced and scheduled as a single job.
It is how most employer work comes through Fundza Training Institute, because site certificates tend to fall due in batches: a shutdown brings in a crew who all need the same safety appointments, or a yard full of machine tickets expires in the same quarter.
Fundza trains groups on site anywhere in South Africa, not only in Limpopo. Groups have been trained as far as Cape Town, for mines, construction companies and municipalities in most regions of the country. On-site training covers how that works in detail.
Every course on this site carries a published per-person fee, and a group quotation starts from those fees. The full list is on the prices page; fees currently run from R957 for First Aid Level 1 up to R11 000 for the heaviest earth-moving machines, with refreshers from R814.
Group size and travel are quoted per booking rather than published, because what it costs to put a facilitator in front of your crew depends on where your site is and how many intakes the group has to be split into.
So there is no published minimum group size and no published discount table. Send the headcount and the location and you will get a figure you can put in a budget or a Workplace Skills Plan.
These are the certificates that come up most often in group bookings. Fees shown are per person.
| Course | Duration | Fee | Refresher |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Aid Level 1 | 2 days | R957 | — |
| Basic Fire Fighting (Level 1) | 2 days | R1 034 | — |
| SHE Representative | 2 days | R1 100 | — |
| Working at Heights | 2 days | R1 628 | R980 |
| Forklift (counterbalanced lift truck) | 5 days | R6 010 | R1 204 |
| Articulated dump truck | 5 days | R8 052 | R3 883 |
| Safety Combo | 10 days | R6 600 | — |

There is no published minimum. Group size is something the quotation takes into account rather than a gate you have to clear, so send the headcount you actually have. A small group may be better off joining an intake at the Mokopane centre than paying for a facilitator to travel.
Either. Fundza trains at its own centre at 11 Van Riebeeck Street in Mokopane, and on site at employers’ premises anywhere in South Africa. For a group, on site is usually the better option, because the practical can be done on the machines and in the conditions the crew actually works in. Note that Fundza does not offer accommodation, so learners travelling to Mokopane arrange their own.
There is no published discount table, so we will not promise a percentage here. What is true is that the fixed costs of a booking, chiefly getting a facilitator to your site, are spread across more people in a bigger group, and the quotation reflects that. Ask for the quotation on your full headcount rather than on a sample.
Yes, and most employers do. A single booking can put the safety representatives through SHE Rep, the riggers through slinging and the operators through their machine tickets, in intakes that suit the site. Each learner receives a separate certificate for each course passed; there is no such thing as one combined certificate for several courses.
Certificates are issued directly and can also be downloaded from the Fundza portal, which is where an employer or an auditor goes to confirm that a named learner holds a given certificate. That matters at audit time, because a photocopy in a file proves less than a record that can be checked at source.
If your payroll is above R500 000 a year you already pay the skills development levy, and part of it comes back as a mandatory grant once you have submitted a Workplace Skills Plan and an Annual Training Report. Group training is exactly what goes into that plan. See the skills development levy page for how the levy is worked out and the Workplace Skills Plan page for what to submit and by when.
