WSP/ATR and mandatory grants

We compile and submit your Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report before the 30 April deadline, so the 20% mandatory grant comes back to you.

Learnerships and SETA funding

Discretionary grant applications, learnership proposals, learner recruitment and the full learner lifecycle, from induction to certification.

B-BBEE skills development element

A skills spend plan built around your scorecard, with the evidence file your verification agency will ask for.

Learning material and LMS setup

Curriculum-aligned learner guides, facilitator guides and assessments, plus a learning management system set up and ready to enrol learners.

Assessment and moderation support

Assessment tools, moderation reports and portfolio-of-evidence reviews that stand up to external moderation.

The QCTO accreditation journey

Accreditation follows a set order. We walk every stage with you, so nothing comes back for resubmission.

  1. Readiness check

    We review your qualification choice, venue, staff and existing documents, then give you a gap list with clear owners and dates.

  2. Build the file

    Policies, personnel files, OHS documentation, learning material and assessment tools, assembled to QCTO requirements.

  3. Desktop evaluation

    We submit the application and respond to any queries from the QCTO or its assessment quality partner.

  4. Site visit

    We prepare your presentation, rehearse the walkthrough and make sure every file is where the evaluator expects it.

  5. Accredited and operating

    We help you set up the LMS, enrol your first learners and keep your records audit-ready.

How we work with you

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute consultation. You leave with a clear picture of what you qualify for and what it takes, whether or not you work with us.

Choose a time
  1. Free consultation. We learn about your business, your payroll, your SETA and what you want from training.
  2. Written proposal. A fixed scope, a fixed fee and a timeline you can plan around.
  3. We do the work. Documents, submissions and follow-ups, with a weekly update so you always know where things stand.
  4. You stay compliant. Optional ongoing support for deadlines, renewals and new learner intakes.

Who we help

SMEs paying the skills levy

Businesses with a payroll over R500 000 that want their levy back, a stronger B-BBEE scorecard and a trained team.

New and growing training providers

Skills development providers applying for QCTO accreditation or adding qualifications to their scope.

Employers hosting learnerships

Companies taking on learners or interns who need the programme set up and managed without drowning in admin.

Built by a practitioner, not a call centre

Infinity Growth Solutions is led by Zami Mokhali, a skills development executive with more than 13 years of experience across SETA programme coordination, assessment and moderation, learner lifecycle management and curriculum design.

That means the person advising you has run learnerships, prepared accreditation files and sat across the table from SETA and QCTO officials. You get advice grounded in how the process really works, and documents that are ready to submit.

The name says what we believe: done well, skills development keeps paying back. Trained people grow the business, the business grows its contribution, and the cycle continues.

Prefer to do it yourself?

The Learnership Proposal Template Pack gives you the structure and wording we use when preparing learnership proposals for SETA funding.

Questions people ask first

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The first 30-minute consultation is free and carries no obligation. If you want us to take on the work, we send a written proposal with a fixed fee.

Does my business have to pay the skills levy?

Employers with an annual payroll over R500 000 who are registered with SARS for PAYE pay a skills development levy of 1% of payroll. If you pay it, you can claim part of it back through your SETA.

What is a WSP/ATR and when is it due?

The Workplace Skills Plan sets out the training you plan for the year ahead, and the Annual Training Report shows the training you completed. Both go to your SETA by 30 April each year to qualify for the mandatory grant.

How long does QCTO accreditation take?

It depends on how ready your venue, staff and documents are. In the consultation we look at where you stand and give you a realistic timeline before you commit.

Do you work outside Gauteng?

Yes. Most of the work happens online, and consultations run on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or by phone. Site-visit preparation can be done on site by arrangement.

Which SETAs do you work with?

Our deepest experience is with the MICT SETA and the QCTO, and the same processes apply across other SETAs. Tell us your SETA when you book and we will prepare accordingly.
