Programmes & Accreditation

Learnerships, Skills Programmes & Workforce Compliance Training
Lons Pride delivers AgriSETA-aligned, credit-bearing training and practical skills programmes, paired with GLOBALG.A.P IFA v6 readiness and digital business operations systems. The result: competent teams, clean records, and farms that are audit-ready in the real world (not just on paper)

Credit-Bearing Learnerships and Qualifications (AgriSETA-aligned)

We offer structured learnership implementation and accredited training support across key agricultural qualifications, helping employers and developing farmers build workplace competence, collect evidence, and maintain quality assurance-ready records.

Not every client needs a full qualification immediately. Our skills programmes are built from unit standards inside the full qualifications, packaged to solve specific workplace problems fast: compliance gaps, weak records, poor hygiene discipline, unsafe chemical handling, and “we’ll fix it before the audit” panic.

Example: GLOBALG.A.P Workforce Compliance Skills Pack (practical + audit-focused)

GLOBALG.A.P expects worker competence and training records (topics, trainer, date, attendees, evidence of attendance).
So we package training that directly supports those requirements, and we help you file the evidence properly.

Included training example (with formal SAQA linkage):

• Crop protection products: safe, responsible use
  Linked Unit Standard: US 116125 – Apply crop protection and animal health products effectively and responsibly
  Linked Qualification: National Certificate: Plant Production NQF 2 (SAQA 48975)

Plus the required “audit file” outputs (we help you produce):

• Training matrix per role (who needs what training)

• Attendance registers + signed proof of attendance

• Competence sign-offs where applicable

• Easy retrieval by worker name (auditors love that)

Learnerships Paired with GLOBALG.A.P + Digital Business Systems

We don’t treat training and compliance like two separate universes. We pair learnership delivery with:

GLOBALG.A.P IFA v6 readiness support (systems, SOPs, registers, internal prep)

Company operations and digital business skills (structured recordkeeping, evidence control, basic reporting, workflow discipline)

This combination prepares teams for today’s audits and the future of farming: buyers want traceability, consistency, and reliable data trails.
