At Business Skills Institute (BSI), we are proud to be an award-winning, B-BBEE Level 1 training partner dedicated to empowering professionals and businesses through innovative and relevant accredited learning solutions. Established in 2003 to address the need for specialised training in the micro-finance sector, BSI has since expanded its reach, becoming a leading training provider across various industries in Africa and beyond. Today, we specialise in delivering tailored learning programs for the debt counselling, financial services, and debt recovery sectors, as well as general business and management skills training.

 

Moving Futures Forward Through the Power of Knowledge

With over 20 years of experience in the debt counselling, credit, banking, and financial services industries, BSI is uniquely positioned to help our clients achieve their goals and drive their futures forward. Our extensive expertise, particularly in the debt counselling field, has been recognised through our long-standing partnership with the National Credit Regulator (NCR). Since 2007, we have been an approved training provider for the NCR’s Debt Counselling Training Programme, training more than 2,000 prospective debt counsellors and continuously updating our offerings to meet the evolving needs of the industry.

Our Comprehensive Learning Solutions

BSI provides a wide range of training solutions tailored specifically for debt counselling businesses and their teams, including:

  • Digital, Blended, and In-Class Training: Flexible options to suit your team’s learning preferences.
  • Accredited Qualifications and Learnerships: Ensuring your staff are equipped with recognised credentials.
  • Skills Programs, Short Courses, and Workshops: Covering essential topics such as debt counselling processes, legal and compliance requirements, and credit management skills.

Our commitment to excellence is evident in our appointment by the NCR as the developers of the NCR Debt Counselling Training Programme since 2018. We also prepare and deliver monthly debt counselling examination papers for the sector, ensuring that debt counsellors are always equipped with the most current and relevant knowledge. BSI has also been instrumental in collaborating with the NCR to get approval for the development of an occupational qualification for debt counsellors with the BANKSETA.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

Our training programs have been widely adopted by top debt counselling firms such as National Debt Advisors, Debt Busters, and National Debt Counsellors, as well as by credit providers like FNB, Capitec Bank and Tenacity Financial Services. Our deep understanding of the debt counselling profession allows us to create and deliver training programs that not only meet regulatory standards but also empower professionals to make a positive impact on the lives of over-indebted consumers.
