Through our family of brands—Lusatech Training Academy, LOSA, Zululand Training Institute, and Umfolozi Vocational Institute—we are creating tangible impact for ordinary South Africans, particularly the youth who are the backbone of our future economy.
Lusatech Training Academy: The Foundation of Excellence Lusatech Training Academy has become a household name for quality, accredited education. We don't just teach; we prepare. By offering a range of courses from Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) to ICT and Business Management, we provide students with the "hit the ground running" skills that employers crave. For a young person in South Africa, a certificate from Lusatech isn't just a piece of paper—it’s a ticket to a first job. Our "Start Learning Now, Pay Later" flexible payment plans have been a game-changer, ensuring that financial barriers don't stand in the way of a student's potential.
LOSA: High-End ISO Training for Global Standards Under the LOSA branch of Lusatech, we have revolutionized high-level compliance training. Recognizing the need for specialized expertise, LOSA offers 15 different ISO Training courses—including ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Information Security), and ISO 45001 (Health & Safety)—all at a flat rate of R1,800 per self-paced course. This initiative is specifically designed to empower young professionals to compete on a global stage. By making these prestigious certifications affordable and accessible online, LOSA allows youth to build a specialized resume that stands out to international corporations and local industry giants alike.
Zululand Training Institute (ZTI): Bridging the Gap in KZN Based in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, with campuses in Empangeni and Vryheid, ZTI focuses on the practical side of the economy. From Mining and Operator training to specialized Health and Welfare courses, ZTI reaches deep into communities where traditional opportunities might be scarce. Our Learnership Programmes at ZTI have achieved a remarkable 94% employment rate. By providing monthly stipends while students learn, we solve the dual problem of poverty and lack of experience simultaneously.
Umfolozi Vocational Institute: Vocational Skills for Modern Needs Umfolozi Vocational Institute rounds out our ecosystem by focusing on the core vocational skills that drive the infrastructure of our country. Whether it’s Engineering Studies, Hospitality, or Office Administration, we focus on NATED and NCV programmes that produce the artisans and managers of tomorrow.
Looking Ahead: Expanding to Limpopo We believe that quality skills training should not be limited by geography. We are incredibly excited to announce that we will soon be opening the Venda Skills Training Academy in Limpopo! This new expansion is a direct response to the growing demand for accessible, accredited training in the Vhembe District and surrounding areas. Our goal is to bring the same level of excellence and affordability found in our other institutes to the youth of Limpopo, helping to spark an economic revival through education.
