An entire L&D function.
One person.
Most companies need a learning function and can't justify four hires to build one. I'm the alternative: strategy, instructional design, e-learning build, delivery, and the SETA filing that helps pay for it — run end to end by one practitioner with AI leverage.
Over six days a client makes nine cash deposits of roughly R24 000 each, across four different branches.
What is the strongest indicator here?
What one hire actually covers
A working learning function needs eight things done. Most roles cover two or three, which is why building one properly means building a team — and why most mid-sized companies never do. This is the honest overlap.
Note Role scopes describe how these jobs are typically advertised and staffed in the South African market. Individuals vary — the point isn't that a given designer can't file a WSP, it's that you'd be hiring against the grain of the role to get it.
You're the analyst. The file just landed.
Not a quiz. A branching decision simulation — you hold a role, evidence accumulates as you work, and every choice changes what happens next. Get it wrong and you don't see a red cross; you see the consequence. Four minutes.
Note Sample simulation built for demonstration. The scenario and thresholds are illustrative and are not legal or compliance advice.
Seven ways to make someone think
A multiple-choice question is one tool, and most e-learning owns only that one. These are the others I build — each is playable, and each comes with the thing that actually matters: when to reach for it, and what it's good at.
The part you never see decides whether it works
Anyone can produce slides. What separates a programme that changes behaviour from one that merely gets completed is the document written before anything is built. Here is what's actually in mine — and what breaks when each part is skipped.
Some of this is already in your budget
You pay the skills development levy every month whether or not you use it. A portion comes back if someone files the paperwork properly — and filing it is part of what I do, not a separate consultant. Put your payroll in.
What actually lands on your desk
An engagement ships artefacts, not just outcomes. These are the six that carry the work — what each one is, who it's for, and where in the cycle it arrives. The client files sit under NDA, so what's drawn here is the specification rather than the paperwork.
Also produced Learner manuals and desk-side job aids, slide decks built for the room they'll be presented in, and video and audio assets where the content earns them. Specific samples available on request, subject to client confidentiality.
Tell me which of the eight you're missing
Most conversations start with one gap and turn out to be three. Say what needs to change and who needs to change it, and I'll come back with how I'd approach it.
Twelve years across training leadership and full-cycle instructional design, as an AI-enabled OD-ETDP practitioner. I work the whole cycle because that's where the leverage is: the person who sizes the gap should be the person who designs the fix, builds it, runs it, and files the plan that funds it.
