Funded Training Initiatives
Personal Skills Training Funding
Which Funding Option is Right for You?
We offer Self-Funding (Part-1 Apply Below) or Government Funding (Part-2).
Unsure whether to self-fund or wait for government funding? Here’s our guidance:
Choose self-funding if:
- You want to start training immediately.
- You have the means to structure payments over time.
- Your chosen course is in high demand, and you don’t want to risk missing out.
Consider waiting for government funding if:
- Your financial situation makes self-funding challenging.
- You have flexibility on when you start training.
- You’re targeting courses that frequently qualify for government support.
Our advice:
Speak to our admissions team.
We’ll give you honest guidance on typical funding availability for your chosen course and help you weigh the pros and cons of each option.
Part 1 – Self Funding
In Part 1, we offer a self-funding solution, giving you the flexibility to invest in your career on your own terms. In Part 2, from time to time, government-funded opportunities also become available for eligible learners. At the bottom, you will have the opportunity to apply for either.
Every Career Deserves a Chance
At SSTG Academy, we believe that financial barriers should never stand between you and your dream career. That’s why we’re honoured to offer structured student funding solutions — one more way we support learners from their first day of training to their first day on the job.
Registered & Regulated for Your Protection
Our holding company, TRU4 PTY LTD, is registered with the National Credit Regulator (NCR) under registration number NCR3456. This registration ensures that all student funding agreements are transparent, fair, and fully compliant with South African consumer protection laws.
What this means for you:
- Every funding application undergoes a responsible lending assessment.
- Payment terms are clearly outlined in writing before you commit.
- You’re protected by NCR regulations throughout your financing journey.
- We only approve funding when we’re confident you can succeed.
Payment Structure
Our funding applies exclusively to SSTG Academy fees.
- Initial Deposit: 15% – 50% of total course fees (depending on the programme and your assessment).
- Flexible Repayment: The balance can be structured over monthly or quarterly instalments tailored to your cash flow.
- Immediate Access: Once your deposit is paid and funding is approved, you can begin your training without delay.
Please note: We do not fund external expenses such as medical examinations, PPE and SAMSA fees. Accommodation and travel costs, we will cover if our transport and accommodation are used.
Your Commitment
When you accept a funding agreement, you’re agreeing to:
–
- Make payments on time, every time — as outlined in your signed agreement.
- Communicate proactively if you anticipate any challenges with payment.
- Understand the consequences of missed payments before you commit.
Consequences of Non-Payment
To protect the integrity of our funding programme and ensure fairness to all learners, the following applies:
- Exam Access: Learners with outstanding payments will not be permitted to sit for final examinations.
- Certificate Withholding: Certificates and statements of results will be withheld until all payments are settled in full.
- Course Termination: Persistent non-payment may result in termination of your enrolment without refund.
- Credit Record Impact: In cases of default, matters may be referred to collections in accordance with NCR guidelines.
We want to be clear: These measures are not punitive — they’re necessary to ensure that our funding programme remains sustainable and available to future learners who need it.
