Leading the Way

Established in 2002, Afroteq Academy was one of the first FM training providers endorsed by SAFMA and achieved Services SETA accreditation for two of its short training programmes.

Afroteq Academy is a division of Afroteq Advisory, a level 2 BBBEE contributor.

Afroteq Advisory is a professional company that has provided specialist and professional expertise to the built environment sector since 2000. It is ISO9001:2015 and ISO45001:2018 accredited.

Accreditation

The following professional bodies endorse the Afroteq Academy training programmes:

South African Facilities Management Association (SAFMA)
Services SETA (SSETA)
Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO)

All registered SAFMA members earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points upon presenting their Certificate of Completion.

Training Approach

The accredited facilitator covers extensive content and implements practical in-class exercises, using case studies and real-world examples to bring the theoretical content to life for the delegates.

After the training, the facilitators and our administrative staff are available to delegates to assist them during their practical application and compilation of their portfolio of evidence.

Most programme training material is available via our online training portal, as well as relevant resource materials.

Outcomes-Based Assessment

Delegates earn the SSETA credits when they complete and submit the formative and summative assessments.  These form part of a post-training work-based Portfolio of Evidence (POE) evaluated by an assessor and a moderator.

Upon completing the POE and being found competent by the assessor and moderator, the SSETA registers the delegate’s results on the National Learners’ Record Database.  These results remain a lifelong achievement.

SAFMA awards continued professional development (CPD points to registered SAFMA members on the presentation of their Certificate of Attendance.

Online Blended Training

We present our online, blended training using a secure online platform. Delegates attend scheduled facilitator-led sessions and group breakaway sessions to complete class activities throughout the training programme.

Delegates will require a secure, reliable internet connection in a quiet environment and a laptop or desktop with a built-in webcam and audio capacity. 

Engaging Content

Our training programmes align with the Facilities Management ISO 41001:2018 standard and the programme unit standard requirements.

Practising FM professionals and subject matter experts contributed to developing our quality training content, thereby ensuring that delegates gain relevant and up-to-date knowledge to apply directly to their work environment.

Delegates can access the following information on our online training portal:

 - All relevant training material

 - A PowerPoint presentation
