For business
Zaio trains your people for digital roles.
How it is run
Four things that decide whether it works
Training a company pays for and nobody finishes is the expensive failure. Each of these is here to stop one particular way that happens.
01
Scoped from the work
We start from what your people have to be able to do and what you are reporting on, then choose the qualification backwards from there.
Instead of selling you a course that already existed and calling it tailored.
02
Built around the day job
Live classes on a fixed timetable, recorded, with mentors and an AI tutor between sessions.
Instead of asking people to choose between the training and the work it is meant to improve.
03
Assessed on real projects
Learners are assessed on work they build, in your domain where that helps, which is also what gives you something to look at at the end.
Instead of a multiple-choice test that proves somebody was present.
04
Reported while it runs
Attendance, completion and assessment results per learner, from the first month.
Instead of a completion rate at the end, when it is too late to do anything about it.
The process
How it goes
Step 01
Tell us the gap
What your teams cannot do yet, how many people, and what you are reporting on.
Step 02
We design the programme
Which qualification or bootcamp fits, over what period, and what it costs.
Step 03
We run it
Live classes, mentors, assessments, and a report you get while it is still running.
Step 04
You get the record
Completion and results per learner, plus the certification each one earned.
Who we do it for
The companies already doing it.
Corporate clients we have run training for, from a listed carmaker to a payments startup. Twenty of them, and the list is the same one our own corporate page carries.
What we do
Two ways companies buy it
Pick the one that fits and it carries into the form. If it turns out to be the other, we will say so.
Skills development
SelectedAccredited training that counts towards the skills development element of your B-BBEE scorecard.
You have a scorecard to report on and a budget that has to be spent on something that counts.
- Delivered against the same QCTO qualifications we teach to the public
- Registered on the NQF, so each learner leaves with something verifiable
- Attendance and completion recorded per learner for your reporting
- Skills programmes for unemployed learners as well as your own staff
Corporate training
Our programmes repackaged around what your teams actually need to be able to do.
You have people who need a specific capability by a specific date.
- Scoped from the work, not from a catalogue page
- A timetable that survives contact with their workload
- Mentors and an AI tutor between live sessions
- Assessed on projects from your own domain where that helps
Both draw on the same catalogue: 9 Occupational Certificates registered on the National Qualifications Framework and 6 career bootcamps. Zaio Technology (Pty) Ltd, trading as Zaio Institute of Technology, is a QCTO-accredited Skills Development Provider. Each qualification carries its own accreditation number, on its own page, which is what makes the skills development spend countable and checkable.
Would rather just talk?
One call is usually enough to work out whether this is a qualification, a bootcamp or neither. We will say so if it is neither.
Questions
Questions people ask.
What is a QCTO skills programme?
A short, registered, occupationally directed programme made up of modules from a full occupational qualification, with a QCTO statement of results at the end. Zaio delivers Java Programmer, Python Programmer and HTML Programmer at NQF Level 4.
Do skills programmes count for B-BBEE skills development?
Spend on registered learning programmes for Black employees and unemployed Black learners counts towards the Skills Development element; your B-BBEE advisor or verification agency confirms the points for your scorecard, and Zaio provides the records.
Is Zaio a YES Implementation Partner?
Yes, since 2020. Zaio hosts YES work-experience cohorts for employers.
Can we hire Zaio graduates?
Yes. The careers team shortlists graduates with portfolios from current cohorts; Occupational Certificate students can also complete workplace modules with you.
Can Zaio train our existing staff?
Yes, as cohorts on the skills programmes or as tailored corporate training in software, data, cloud, cybersecurity or AI.
Does Zaio offer learnerships?
Not at the moment. Zaio's qualifications are not yet registered as learnerships. We run employer-sponsored cohorts and YES placements, and learnership cohorts will be announced here once registration is complete.
