EPN has been launched recently to further the reach and influence of black economic empowerment measurement within South Africa.

Our initiative includes offering of training programmes which have wide applications in the work place.

CET - “The Certified Empowerment Technician™” –

is the first tier of training which covers the history and development of broad-based black economic empowerment and its affect in the South African context.

This programme also demystifies the Codes of Good Practice and gives a comprehensive overview of the 7 elements of BEE as identified by the Department of Trade & industry.

This programme will need to be completed by those wanting to continue to the level of Certified Empowerment Advisor, or Certified Empowerment Analyst.

The CET qualification is applicable to those who are involved in either the annual BEE rating or strategy building for their organisations.

CEAd - “The Certified Empowerment Advisor™” –

is a second tier of training, which is more advanced, and covers the full verification process as well as strategic development and designing of BEE initiatives.

The CEAd qualification is applicable to those who are in (or aspire to be in) managerial positions within BEE & Transformation divisions, as well as individuals who would like to take on a consulting role for clients. Consultants can also offer collation services to their clients.

CEAn - “The Certified Empowerment Analyst™” –

Is a second tier of learning, and is primarily offered to auditors, accountants and other professional service providers, who are interested in partnering with us in offering their QSE clients a BEE verification service.
