URM LEARNERSHIP

Welcome to Ubuntu Resource Training Academy

QCTO Accredited Training Centre

Ubuntu Resource Management (Pty) Ltd is proud to be a fully accredited Quality Council for Trades and Occupation (QCTO) training provider, committed to developing competent, workplace-ready professionals through innovative occupational learnership programmes.

We specialise in occupationally directed training that combines theoretical learning, practical skills development, and structured workplace experiences to ensure learners gain real-world competence and nationally recognised qualifications.

Our Mission

To assist companies in building skilled, compliant, and productive workforces while maximising the value of their skills development investments.

Why Invest in Learnerships

Learnerships are one of the most effective ways for a business to develop talent, improve operations standards, and contribute meaningfully to skills development in South Africa.

By registering learners on accredited occupational learnerships programmes, companies benefit from:

  • Improved workforce competence and productivity
  • Structured on-the-job training aligned to industry standards
  • Enhanced employee retention and career development 
  • Compliance with skills development and transformation objectives 
  • Opportunities to access discretionary grant funding
  • Significant tax incentives and allowances

Learnerships allow employers to train staff while learners continue gaining practical workplace experience within the company.

The Importance of Workplace-Based Learning

The QCTO occupational qualification model places strong emphasis on practical workplace experience and occupational competence.

This means learners do not simply study theory - they develop practical skills while performing real workplace duties under supervision.

Workplace-Based learning ensures that learners:

  • Apply skills directly in the workplace
  • Build confidence and practical competence 
  • Understand workplace procedures and operational standards
  • Become productive employees during the training process
  • Gain experience that prepares them for long-term employability

At Ubuntu Resource Management, we work closely with employers to ensure learners receive structured workplace exposure that aligns with national occupational standards.

Tax Incentives for Learnerships

Many employers are unaware that learnerships provide valuable tax benefits through SARS.

Companies who register learners on approved Learnerships may qualify for:

Learnership Allowances

These allowances may include:

  • Annual deductions for each learner registered
  • Additional tax deductions upon successful completion of the learnership
  • Enhanced deductions for learners living with disabilities

These incentives are designed to encourage employers to invest in workforce development while reducing overall costs.

Our team assist employers throughout the learnership registration process to help ensure compliance with the requirements necessary to access these benefits.
