Ndulamo Academy

Securing the future through education

Practical, affordable training for Batswana who want work, and for the companies who employ them. Our guides are free to anyone who needs them.

Skills change lives. That's the whole idea.

Ndulamo Academy is a community-focused training institution built on a simple belief: skills development is the most powerful tool a person has for building a better life.

We bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. Our expertise is rooted in the security services industry, where we have trained officers to perform under real pressure, and it extends into the professional and life skills that help anyone build a career worth having.

These are non-credit-bearing short courses leading to a Ndulamo Academy certificate of completion. They do not carry credit on the National Credit and Qualifications Framework.

Your front line is your brand

The officer at your gate, the voice on your radio and the person at your reception desk are the contact your clients experience most often. Service is won or lost there, not in the boardroom.

We train at your site, around your shift pattern, using examples from your own operation. Officers are assessed on post rather than only in a classroom, and you get a written report every month.

What this means in plain terms. Ndulamo Academy is registered with the Botswana Qualifications Authority as a consultancy. Recognition of non-credit-bearing short courses is handled by the Human Resource Development Council, and our application for that recognition is in progress.

Until it is granted, our courses carry a Ndulamo Academy certificate of completion and we make no claim that they are accredited or that they lead to a national qualification.
