In this section we’ve compiled a list of the questions we get asked the most often. To jump to the section you’re most interested in, simply click on one of the links directly above:
Accreditation & CPD
Yes, a number of our training courses do offer Continuing Development Points/Hours/Credits (CPD) that are based on the length and completion of the training course you are attending. You can only claim points if you attend and complete a training course that offers CPD Points/Hours/Credits. Should you leave the course early for any reason we will unfortunately be unable to award you the CPD Points/Hours/Credits at all. The points and accreditation certificates will be issued to you after the training course is finished. Please note that when you claim your Points/Hours/Credits that approval is at the discretion of the relevant association. Any questions and concerns relating to CPD should therefore be directed to the relevant institution, association or professional licensing board.
If you would like to receive a listing of our training courses that are currently registered for CPD Points/Hours/Credits, email Imogen Tarita on imogen@alusani.co.za

Booking for a Course
We are always happy to check availability on your chosen course. However, it is important to note that our courses sell out very quickly so we highly recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
There is another benefit for registering early – we offer fantastic early bird discounts and you can save up to R2000 per person (which equates to a 33% saving) on the cost of our 2 or 3 day courses when you register and pay early.
Late Booking Surcharge – please note that any registrations received 3 days before the start of any training course will automatically incur a R1299 + 15% VAT Late Booking Surcharge.
For more information about any of our training courses please email info@alusani.co.za or click on our Training Schedule link above for a list of our current available public courses.
Our training courses sell out very quickly due to the fact that the number of Course Participants is strictly limited on each training course to ensure maximum participation and personal attention for each attendee. So, we recommend that you register for the course that you are interested in as soon as possible. Should the training course you would like to attend be sold-out a waiting list will then go in to effect. Please note that our waiting list operates on a ‘first come, first served’ basis subject to us receiving any Course Participant transfers or cancellations.
Alusani Skills & Training Network® will not be liable for any travel and accommodation expenses incurred by and individual and/or company who travel to the training course without having a confirmed seat on any training course.
When you registered for the training course, you were sent a welcome email. Attached to that email was a PDF copy of Our Policies, Terms & Conditions which explains in full what happens if you have to cancel or transfer to alternative course dates. If you are still unsure after reading this attachment please call our offices immediately on +27 11 447 7470 or email Imogen Tarita on imogen@alusani.co.za.
Please note that if you do not cancel and fail to attend the training course for any reason that you are still responsible for full payment of the invoice as per the terms and conditions that were accepted and signed for when registering for the training course.

Attending a Course
We want you to get the most out of any of our training courses and we know that the training venue can make a positive difference to your learning experience with Alusani Skills & Training Network®. So, we have selected a variety of venues for their easy accessibility, great food and excellent customer service which will make all the difference to your day’s training and will add to your comfort and enjoyment.
Please do check the brochure as well as your invoice and welcome email to see which venue your training course is being hosted at!
For our public (face-to-face) training courses registration and morning coffee is available from 7:30am, please note that it only takes a couple of minutes to register. All of our training courses start promptly at 8:30am each day. There is a mid-morning refreshment break and lunch will usually be served at around 12:00-12:30 each day.

In order to get the most out of the training course we really need you to be as comfortable as possible. So, we highly recommend that you wear business casual dress as we want you to be relaxed but also to feel confident and professional as there are many networking opportunities that we hope you will take advantage of during the training course.
So what does business casual dress mean? It is quite different from what you might wear for a job interview or to other venues that require formal business professional attire. But if you are confused or concerned please do contact customerservices@alusani.co.za and we will happily assist you.
But we do highly recommend that you bring a light jacket or jersey with you as some training rooms can be a little cool.

Alusani Skills & Training Network® is 100% Women Owned with 51% Black Woman Ownership. This means that we are a B-BBEE Level 2 compliant company and we are an Empowering Supplier in terms of Clause 3.3 (a) of the dti Codes of Good Practice. So, if you use Alusani® for your training needs you will be able to claim 125% B-BBEE procurement recognition.
Remember that when selecting a training provider that their B-BBEE rating directly affects your own and the higher the training provider’s level the more you can claim back towards your own procurement spend. For example, if you choose a training provider who only has a Level 6 rating, this means that only 60 cents of every training Rand that you spend with them will count towards your own BEE scorecard.
So when you train with Alusani® this means that your company will be able to claim 125 cents for every training Rand that you spend with us!
Something to think about the next time you think about either sending your employees to a public training course or when selecting a provider to run a course for you onsite at your premises.
