Compliance

Training that pays for itself

Accredited training is not only about building skills. It also unlocks compliance value and financial incentives that directly benefit businesses. By working with LearnSquad and our accredited partner colleges, companies turn training into measurable return on investment through levy recovery, B-BBEE points, and recognised workforce development.
SDL Recovery

Turning levies into learning

Employers contribute one percent of payroll to the Skills Development Levy. Accredited training allows this spend to be recovered through SDL rebates and discretionary grants. Rather than being a fixed cost, SDL becomes a funding tool for training when aligned with accredited programmes. Businesses benefit from reduced financial pressure, while learners gain qualifications that improve employability. With proper reporting, SDL recovery proves that compliance can strengthen both workforce capacity and business sustainability. This transforms a regulatory obligation into a financial advantage, making compliance a driver of growth.

B-BBEE Benefits

Points that drive transformation

Skills Development is a priority element of the B-BBEE scorecard, carrying up to 20 points plus 5 bonus points for absorption. Accredited training ensures that learning investments count towards these points. Programmes focused on unemployed youth, employees with disabilities, or scarce skills receive additional weighting. Businesses improve their compliance ratings, learners gain recognised qualifications, and communities benefit from targeted investment. Testimonials from employers highlight that aligning budgets with accredited training delivers dual value: compliance returns and stronger workforces. By treating compliance as opportunity, companies achieve both measurable business outcomes and meaningful social transformation.

Tax Incentives

Allowances that create measurable returns

In addition to SDL and B-BBEE benefits, businesses can access tax deductions through Section 12H learnership allowances. These incentives provide deductions at both the start and completion of a programme, lowering taxable income. For employers, this reduces the overall cost of training significantly. Learners benefit from stipends and accredited qualifications, while companies recover substantial financial value. When managed strategically, tax incentives often cover most, if not all, of the investment in training. This makes compliance not only affordable but profitable, proving that accredited education can pay for itself while creating lasting impact.

Shared Value

Compliance that benefits everyone

Compliance-linked training creates value for all stakeholders. Businesses recover levy contributions, earn compliance points, and access tax savings. Learners gain qualifications that open doors to employment or entrepreneurship. Communities benefit from stronger local economies supported by new skills. By partnering with accredited providers, compliance becomes a shared outcome that drives growth. This approach proves that training is not just an expense but an investment in transformation. Compliance done right strengthens businesses, empowers learners, and uplifts communities, making it one of the most effective ways to achieve both regulatory and development goals.
