Who We Are
DUNMORE Training & Skills Development NPC is a non-profit company headquartered in Raithby, Somerset West, delivering training across all provinces in South Africa.
We are accredited by the FP&M SETA (our primary sector authority), registered with AgriSETA, and hold three active SDP registrations with the Quality Council for Trades & Occupations (QCTO). All programmes align with SAQA unit standards and the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998.
As a Level 1 BBBEE contributor, we are committed not only to skills development but to broad-based transformation in the South African workforce.
From Basic First Aid to QCTO Occupational qualifications at NQF Level 5, our programmes are delivered by qualified facilitators, assessed by registered independent assessors, and verified by accredited moderators.
Our Core Values
Everything we do is guided by our commitment to quality, inclusion, practical impact, and honest certification.
Quality Without Compromise
Every programme is nationally accredited and facilitated by qualified, registered trainers. We do not cut corners on compliance or learning outcomes.
Accessibility for All
We deliver training at our facilities and on-site at your workplace — making certified skills development practical and accessible across the Western Cape.
Real-World Impact
Our programmes are matched to actual workplace demands. Learners leave with skills they can apply immediately — not just certificates on a shelf.
Integrity in Certification
Every assessment is conducted fairly and transparently. Certificates issued by DUNMORE carry the weight of genuine competency verification.
