  • To respond to the need that S.A. Businesses have to be B-BBEE compliant :― Non-compliance to B-BBEE is a Business Risk; Companies operating in South Africa have the objective to spend 3% or 6% of their Skills Development Levy; Based on the 2013 B-BBEE codes, a measured entity must achieve 40% of the targets set in the Skills Development element; GFA is an accredited learning institution specialising in learnership and internships focussed on the B-BBEE codes; GFA renders a specific training program in the green industry – but any organisation can benefit from it; Being an accredited training provider, we will ensure our clients are eligible for a tax rebates; If companies need to spend the money in any case – we can ensure that these funds are put to good use, and make a Real difference.
