Occupational Skills Programme:  Skills Development Facilitation Practitioner (SDF)

The Skills Development Facilitation Practitioner Programme is an accredited Occupational Skills Programme (SP-220321, NQF 5, 40 Credits) designed to equip HR, Training, and Skills Development professionals with the competencies required to manage skills development planning in a highly regulated environment.
