QCTO ACCREDITED PROGRAMMES

Ocean Innovations holds accreditation with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), enabling us to deliver nationally recognised occupational qualifications that meet the standards of the South African National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Our QCTO-accredited programmes are designed to equip individuals and organisations with practical, workplace-relevant competencies that drive measurable performance outcomes.

Small Business Consulting

Qualification: Occupational Certificate: Small Business Consultant (QCTO Accredited)

• ID/OFO Code: 118741
• NQF Level: 5
• Minimum Credits: 244

This qualification is registered with QCTO and recognized nationally, ensuring that your investment in people translates into credible, transferable competency.

Effective small business development requires more than general advice — it demands structured, evidence-based consulting grounded in a clear understanding of business operations, financial management, and market dynamics.

​Ocean Innovations’ QCTO-accredited Small Business Consulting programme equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to assess business challenges, develop tailored strategic recommendations, and support sustainable growth across small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Qualification: Higher Occupational Certificate: Occupational Health and Safety Practitioner (QCTO Accredited)

• ID/OFO Code: 121527
• NQF Level: 05
• Minimum Credits: 120

Participants who complete this programme are equipped to fulfil the responsibilities of a competent OHS practitioner as defined under South African law, supporting your organisation’s duty of care and compliance posture.

A safe and compliant workplace is not only a legal obligation — it is a fundamental driver of operational efficiency, employee wellbeing, and organisational reputation. Organisations that invest in structured OHS competence reduce risk exposure, minimise regulatory liability, and build a culture of accountability at every level.

Ocean Innovations’ QCTO-accredited Occupational Health and Safety programme develops practitioners who can identify, assess, and manage workplace hazards in line with South African legislative requirements, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act (No. 85 of 1993) and its associated regulations.
