SAIE provides training to educators and facilitators to facilitate learning in entrepreneurship. The training programme is accredited by the EDUCATION, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES (ETDP) SETA under unit standard US 117870, titled Conduct Targeted Training and Development Using Given Methodologies. The unit standard carries 10 credits and is registered on the NATIONAL QUALIFATIONS FRAMEWORK (NQF) LEVEL 4.
PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD
“The unit standard will provide recognition for those who conduct or intend to conduct targeted training and development using given methodologies, including group training, group facilitation and presentations. Formal recognition will enhance their employability and also provide a means to identify competent trainers.

“People credited with this unit standard are able to:
- Plan and prepare for training and development;
- Deliver presentation for training and development purposes;
