From learner to compliant supplier.
One integrated pathway connects Skills Development investment to the procurement categories where your organisation needs transformed suppliers.

Learners complete recognised qualifications and workplace learning.
Enterprise pathway
Viable participants transition into structured entrepreneurial development.

Enterprises build the systems and compliance needed to trade sustainably.
Supply-chain entry
Qualified 100% Black-owned suppliers are aligned to real procurement opportunities.
BEE services that go beyond advice and certificates.
Most BEE consultants stop at the scorecard model. We pick up where they leave off — implementing the learnerships, supplier development, SED projects and capability programmes that actually earn the points.
BBBEE Strategy & Scorecard Design
Map your current B-BBEE level, model target scenarios, and prioritise the highest-ROI interventions per element.
Skills Development Implementation
Accredited learnerships, internships, workplace learning and youth development that drive scorecard points and pipeline.
Enterprise & Supplier Development
Enterprise Development (ED) in South Africa — we identify qualifying black-owned EMEs and QSEs, build their capability and onboard them into your supply chain. One programme, three scorecard wins: ED, SD and future Preferential Procurement points.
Socio-Economic Development (SED)
Community programmes designed for measurable, reportable impact — never tick-box CSI.
Verification-Ready Evidence
We hand over a SANAS audit-ready evidence pack — POEs, attendance records, beneficiary data, financial proof.
Cost per Point Optimisation
Engineer every rand of B-BBEE spend to deliver points across multiple scorecard elements simultaneously.
Generic enterprises, QSEs and corporate B-BBEE programmes.
Generic Enterprises (R50m+)
Full B-BBEE programme implementation across all five scorecard elements, with SANAS verification support.
QSEs (R10m–R50m)
Targeted Skills, ED and SED interventions that lift your QSE scorecard and unlock larger contracts.
JSE-listed & Multinationals
Integrated transformation programmes aligned to sector codes, ESG reporting and global sustainability commitments.
Common questions about B-BBEE.
What is B-BBEE?
B-BBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) is a South African policy framework that measures how a business contributes to transformation across five elements: Ownership, Management Control, Skills Development, Enterprise & Supplier Development and Socio-Economic Development.
What is a BBBEE scorecard?
The scorecard measures your transformation performance out of 100+ points. The total determines your B-BBEE level (1–8), which directly affects procurement preference, tender eligibility and customer access.
How do I get a BEE certificate?
Generic companies (turnover above R50m) need a verification certificate from a SANAS-accredited agency. QSEs and EMEs typically use a sworn BBBEE affidavit. We prepare the programmes and evidence required for verification.
What is a BBBEE affidavit?
A sworn statement used by EMEs (under R10m turnover) and qualifying QSEs to confirm B-BBEE status without a full audit.
What is Enterprise Development in BEE?
Enterprise Development (ED) measures the money and non-monetary support you contribute to black-owned EMEs and QSEs that are not yet your suppliers. It targets 1% of NPAT and — done well — grows the next generation of Preferential Procurement suppliers. See our Enterprise Development page for the full South African picture.
How do I improve my BBBEE scorecard?
Design interventions that score across multiple elements at once. A single learnership programme, done well, contributes to Skills Development, Management Control, ED and SED simultaneously.
What is Cost per Point?
The rand cost of earning one B-BBEE scorecard point. Integrated programmes typically deliver a 30–60% lower Cost per Point than fragmented, single-element spending.
Are you a SANAS verification agency?
No. We are an implementation partner. We design and deliver the programmes that earn the points and prepare the verification evidence — the SANAS agency then issues your certificate.
Do you operate nationally?
Yes. LearningWorks delivers B-BBEE programmes across South Africa, with beneficiaries and projects in every province.
