Prepare for scrutiny.
Do not rely on scare tactics.
The January 2026 proposed amendments place greater emphasis on needs analysis, outcomes and M&E reporting. We separate those draft provisions from applicable requirements and build an evidence process around your programme.
Read the Statement 400 source noteBefore we start
Good questions. Straight answers.
Can you work inside our existing ESD programme?
Yes. An appointment can be limited to an agreed assessment, delivery module, cohort or measurement assignment. We do not need to replace your whole programme.
Who verifies the B-BBEE recognition?
Your appointed verification professional determines recognition under the applicable code. WithNova prepares delivery and measurement evidence; we do not claim to independently assure our own work or guarantee points.
Do you only train businesses?
No. Support can include practical implementation as well as learning. The intervention follows the identified need and agreed scope.
Do you work directly for enterprises as well?
Yes. A company can commission services for its own organisation. That is distinct from paying us to support eligible development beneficiaries; recognition is not automatically the same.
