Choose from 41 short courses in machine operating, lifting, safety, construction trades and skills programmes, for individuals and for company teams. Fees start at R957, and training runs at our Mokopane centre or on site at your workplace.
The right Fundza course depends on the machine you will work on, whether you already hold a certificate, and whether you are training yourself or a team. Start with the situation that fits you.
Pick the machine you will operate on site. Earth-moving machine courses (11 courses, R5 630 to R11 000) cover the ADT dump truck, excavator and TLB (tractor-loader-backhoe). Lifting machinery courses (12 courses, R1 628 to R6 010) cover cranes, forklifts and work platforms. Slinging loads for a crane is covered under rigging skills.
25 Fundza courses offer a shorter refresher, from R814. Most refreshers take 1 day: the working at heights refresher costs R980, and the mobile crane operator refresher costs R1 204. Each course page shows its refresher price.
Most site teams start with safety training (6 courses, R957 to R2 178): working at heights, SHE (safety, health and environment) representative, first aid and fire fighting. The safety combo puts several safety courses into one payment and one training period, with a separate certificate for each course. Fundza can also train your team on site at your workplace.
Construction trades courses (5 courses, R1 045 to R4 117) cover steel fixing, shuttering, concrete work and scaffolding. Skills programmes (5 courses) cover hand tools, power tools, electrical, plumbing and welding.
Fundza publishes every course fee online and offers a refresher on 25 courses, so you know the cost before you enquire.

Fundza trains to the requirements of the QCTO (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations), SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority) and the SETAs (Sector Education and Training Authorities).
Employers can view their staff members’ Fundza certificates through the company login.

Use the “Book training for your team” button to set up training for a group.

All 41 Fundza courses are taught in English, from the 2-day safety courses to the 5-day machine operator courses. If you have a question about the language used in a Fundza course, ask it when you enquire, before you book.
