Course Description

Winning tenders can take a business from just surviving to truly growing. In South Africa, billions are awarded every year through government and private sector procurement — but success only comes to those who understand the process, follow the rules, and submit strong proposals. This course is designed to give you the advantage. 

You’ll learn how to navigate key regulations like PFMA, MFMA, and B-BBEE, and how to write proposals that stand out. The course will show you where to find tender opportunities, how to read and understand the documents, prepare the right paperwork, and avoid the common mistakes that lead to disqualification. 

Because the course is delivered fully online, you can study anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace. Each module takes you step by step through the tender and procurement process — from spotting opportunities and preparing documents to submission and managing contracts. With clear explanations and easy-to-follow learning material, you’ll build the confidence to use this knowledge in your career or business straight away. 

By the end, you won’t just know how tenders work — you’ll be ready to apply your skills, grow professionally, and stand out as a credible player in the procurement field. 

This isn’t just a course — it’s your pathway to entrepreneurship, business growth, and long-term success in procurement.
