Edge Training offers four ETDP qualifications in South Africa at NQF Level 5: the Occupational Certificate: Training and Development Practitioner (SAQA ID 101321, 190 credits), and three shorter skills programmes — Assessment Practitioner (SP-220320, 20 credits), Learning and Development Facilitator (SP-220319, 36 credits), and Skills Development Facilitation Practitioner (SP-220321, 40 credits). All four are QCTO-accredited.

The Training and Development Practitioner (SAQA ID 101321, 190 credits) is the full occupational qualification and covers the complete ETD role. The three skills programmes are shorter, focused options: Assessment Practitioner (20 credits) for assessing, Learning and Development Facilitator (36 credits) for facilitating, and Skills Development Facilitation Practitioner (40 credits) for SDF work. Edge Training offers all four in South Africa at NQF Level 5.

All four of Edge Training’s ETDP qualifications require an NQF Level 4 qualification that includes Communication to enrol. This applies to the Training and Development Practitioner (SAQA ID 101321) and to the Assessment Practitioner, Learning and Development Facilitator and Skills Development Facilitation Practitioner skills programmes, all at NQF Level 5 in South Africa.
