Previous Sessions
The landscape of learning and development is continuously evolving; and rightly so. The demand in the knowledge economy is placing pressure on providers and practitioners alike, to not only stay abreast of changes but bring forward solutions that enables their learners and clients to receive quality learning content and the associated recognition for learning achievements.
Omni HR Consulting has taken the decision to seek global certification with The CPD Services in the UK; benchmarking the organisation and its programmes against global standards, which will enable their learners to receive CPD points upon meeting specific learning requirements.
Managing Director, Lize Moldenhauer and Cindy Londt, Operations Executive provides insight into this strategic decision:
Q: Why has Omni chosen to get certification with The CPD Services?
LM: We considered certification from a global perspective to allow transference of skill from a continuous professional development, specifically because the environment in which we are currently working and engaging, requires individuals to continuously be on a learning cycle. For us, CPD was important from a broader spectrum (and not localized) to allow us to engage with people irrespective of geographical borders and upon research, settled with the credibility offered by The CPD Services.
CL: From a content perspective, we believe our learning content is academically and research grounded. The CPD gives the solution additional credibility and global recognition.
Q: Was the process towards obtaining certification rigorous?
CL: The actual engagement process and openness has been smooth in terms of access into the world of seeking CPD accreditation. Rigor is set on the actual quality assuring of our content, processes and methodology. Critical questions around the strategic objective, learning outcome objectives and showing our quality in the content methodology processes is what supports the whole CPD certification in the first place.
Q: Will Omni seek to obtain Council on Higher Education accreditation to support local market needs?
LM: Short answer is yes! Open and effective communication is required, inviting stakeholders to engage, especially for private provision looking to enter the higher education space. The barrier to entry is quite significant. We want to provide best in class solutions for where we are planted, which is South Africa, whilst considering what avenues provide our clients and learners with a global alternative.
Q: What does the certification with The CPD Services mean for the value chain?
LM: Both the organisation (in this case Omni) and the programmes or events we submit to The CPD Services will be certified. In other words, one would say the programme is worthy of X amount of credits, for X amount of learning that took place.
CL: The quality of the organisation as well as the individual programmes are evaluated. We have already submitted one of our programmes ( including full curriculum, learning structure and work-integrated learning assignments) within our Business and Leadership Academy, called Disruptive Leadership and I am comfortable to say, we should receive certification early March.
LM: In describing the Disruptive Leadership programme in one word, I will opt for progressive! The reason (for me) is the way in which the curriculum and the journey has been formulated to support leadership development. We are asking individuals to be self-directed. Leaders are being placed within a framework to own self-direction, which is a mechanism where organisations need to shift and change from a culture of learning to where individuals take personal responsibility and accountability for learning so that they may grow and have reward within their career framework.
Omni has an additional global intake in May for their progressive Disruptive Leadership programme. More details about the learning programme can be found here.
Omni HR Consulting has decided to seek global certification with The CPD Services in the UK, benchmarking the organisation and its programmes against global standards.
After implementing Open-Source Training in 2021, Omni HR Consulting is shifting gears to bring to its community, nine sessions in 2022 starting at the end of March!
The value-alignment has seen Omni’s mission to be disruptive in education, expedited with the introduction of an e-Assessment and e-Portfolio, powered by P4P.
1.1 The programme will be delivered by Omni HR Consulting (Pty) Ltd, hereafter referred to as Omni.
2.1 Once a registration form has been validated by Omni, welcome emails are distributed to candidates to guide them through the process of their learning journey.
2.2 Candidate access emails are sent from our Virtual Learning Environment (OmniStack), 7 business days prior to the commencement of their programme, with the applicable login information.
2.3 Candidates will receive an email from their programme lead/facilitator by way of introduction to define the programme orientation requirements, 5 business days before the start of the programme.
3.1 South Africa - programme fee quoted excludes Value-Added Tax and will be indicated on the Quote and/or the Tax Invoice issued.
3.2 Non-SA / International - Taxes are inclusive in pricing quoted based on the exchange rate at the time of our quote being issued.
3.3 Upon enrolment, a non-refundable registration fee will be payable, equating to 50% of the total programme cost.
3.4 Omni does not provide financial aid to individual candidates who intend on enrolling on programmes in their personal capacity. A payment plan may be considered (in exceptional cases) upon recommendation by a Client Relationship Manager and is subject to an acknowledgement of the payment plan being submitted by the individual candidate, and associated registration fee paid.
3.5 Where payment plans are in place, individual candidates are responsible to honour the terms of the arrangement and failure to do so may result in workplace assignments (evidence) not being assessed according to the training and assessment plan, which further may impact the candidates’ learning journey, continuation and/or deregistration against the enrolled programme.
3.6 Business Service Level Agreements with tranche payments may be considered in consultation with a Client Relationship Manager for the balance of the 50% owing.
3.7 The remaining 50% is due 10 business days prior to the start date unless a payment plan for individuals is approved and/or a business service level agreement is in place.
3.8 Payment terms of 30-days, from date of invoice, with a valid purchase order (where applicable).

4.2 Omni cannot be held responsible should a candidate be at a misaligned level in respect of the programme. Should a candidate appear to be struggling through the learning process or feel ill-equipped to proceed with the programme, this should be escalated to the programme lead who in turn will get in touch with the candidates’ organisation to ascertain a suitable support intervention.
5.1 All cancellations / refunds are to be received by Omni in writing.
5.2 Refunds are only relevant to the 2nd 50% payment.
5.3 Candidates not arriving for a programme and have not processed a deferment within the timelines, will forfeit the 50% registration fee.
5.4 Under exceptional circumstances, refunds of any money must be applied for in writing and approved on merit by the sole discretion of our Academic Team.

6.2 Should candidates experience or witness disorderly or unethical conduct, candidates to make the facilitator/programme manager aware of any such incidents either verbally or in writing, within 48 hours of said incident. Failure to provide feedback within this timeframe will not enable Omni to take corrective action and restricts our ability to address customer service expectations.
7.1 All programmes will be held virtually (unless otherwise stated) and scheduled based on the South African Standard Time (SAST) zone.
7.2 All training programmes will have clearly communicated start/end times sent to candidates by their programme lead/facilitator.

After implementing Open-Source Training in 2021, Omni HR Consulting is shifting gears to bring to its community, nine sessions in 2022 starting at the end of March! The sessions are sponsored by Omni, providing an hour (maximum 90-minutes) of no cost, virtual classroom training based on topics related to the critical and essential skills which form part of our Workforce 2030 curriculum.
The launch of Open-Source Training (OST) took place in May last year, seeing Omni deliver seven sessions on topics ranging from: Redefining Skills Development, Organisational Change, Ethical and Authentic Leadership to Exponential Organisations, scaling in 2021 and beyond. I had the opportunity to sit down with the team who were pivotal in the launch of OST in 2021, to hear more on the exciting developments in this space.
Q: The intent behind the concept of Open-Source Training and why pursue this initiative?
Lize Moldenhauer, Managing Director at Omni: “it’s quite a privilege to be part of a broader community and being able to sow back into the community. When we looked at being part of a value chain and how we give back, the term open-source was birthed. Allowing for an open platform, to be a source of information and inspiration and to consider some of the key elements that most organisations and especially leaders grapple with. Over the past year we have been fortunate to have been able to gain great success with running open-source sessions, making a valuable contribution to the individuals that choose to be part of the platform.”
Q: Overview of the key topics delivered on in 2021
Operations Executive, Cindy Londt sheds light on the Workforce 2030 curriculum developed by Omni: “if you look at what we covered last year, and our [own] research aligned to the World Economic Forum, it was around identifying that there were certain skills from a leadership and management perspective that was going to allow us to move forward. Out of that came, 13 curriculums and therefore the different modules of learning and the showcase last year was to create the foundation to springboard us into the topics for this year.”
In the absence of a crystal ball, I did ask the team to consider, what (in their opinion) are organisations, businesses and leaders still grappling with, in the context of concepts such as, organisational change, emotional intelligence and ethical leadership. The response to this question and our full fireside chat can be accessed here.
Q: What to expect and look forward to in OST 2022
Jade Ables, Marketing Campaign Manager at Omni gushes about the developments in the space: “what’s exciting about this year is that our audience can expect a completely different framework. Last year, we focused a lot on thought leadership, looking at research, not only in a South African context, but also in a global context related to the future world of work. This year, we are flipping our delivery and want to look at it in a more practical sense, bringing in the training approach to our sessions, which will be more interactive. For those who do enjoy the more ‘thought leadership’ style, we will be hosting quite a few of those events [too], so ensure that you follow our social pages or sign-up to our mailing list to stay informed.”
The launch session, hosted on the 30th of March is titled, People Management in industry 4.0. For more details on this and the upcoming three virtual open-source sessions, compliments of Omni HR Consulting, visit the website here and reserve your seat!

Omni HR Consulting has decided to seek global certification with The CPD Services in the UK, benchmarking the organisation and its programmes against global standards.
No cost sessions, aimed to engage you! Based on research, our sessions cover relevant topics linked to the 4IR and essential Workforce 2030 skills.
Our Clients
Omni not only adopts a project management approach when engaging with our customers, but one that is collaborative! We have developed a Collaborative Engagement Model to ensure value-added engagement with our customers.
The market is saturated with conversations around learning, where the jargon of the day is either online, e-Learning, digital learning or the latest being hybrid learning. Organisations and learning practitioners grapple with how “effective” the transfer of learning takes place in a digital world. Add the complexity of needing to assess learning, against a set of criteria determined by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) the notion that any one platform or training provider can achieve this, nearly seems impossible!
Making worlds collide in Human Capital capability and Ed-Tech; two South-African based organisations forged a collaborative partnership. The value-alignment has seen Omni HR Consulting’s mission to be disruptive in education, expedited with the introduction of an e-Assessment and e-Portfolio, powered by Passion4Performance (P4P). To share more about this exciting partnership is Cindy Londt, Operations Executive at Omni and Darryn Van Den Berg, Co-Founder at P4P.
CL: Omni is a Private FET College operating nationally within South Africa. As part of the organisations’ digital transformation strategy (nearly three years ago now) within the learning space, it was important for us to review how we evolve and push the boundary, with disrupting education and moving away from the traditional “this is how it’s done”.
Part of the transformation journey was ensuring we move our learning online and achieve accreditation with the SETAs (South African Education and Training Authorities). What started as a barrier due to SETA’s not recognising digital learning, came Omni’s successful transition to achieving accreditation for online learning delivery and a natural progression was to consider, how we do online assessment. The question was, do we insource or outsource this functionality. Our introduction to P4P was a perfect match, as it has allowed us to expedite what we wanted to achieve as part of our digital transformation strategy and that is moving learning and assessment online in one package.
DvdB: I started tracking Omni about four years ago after our initial conversation did not yield any result. I quite liked their footprint in the market; they are a trusted company in the learning space and their standards are pretty impressive. During that time, P4P has grown as an organisation, so being niche and one of the first in the market to focus on the assessment side, the value we can add now is immensely more. We are excited as both organisations have done quite a lot of learning in the tech space and that is where the synergies are coming together well.
“The shared-value is our passion for wanting to move education forward in South Africa”
DvdB: Passion4Performance (P4P) is the leading e-Assessment and e-Portfolio online platform, founded for the niche purpose of assessment and the assessment process enabling the implementation and adoption of technology on the assessment side of learning.
CL: We were very clear on our vision from a digital transformation perspective, however, we needed to go through the learning in-house. Once exposed to the P4P system and having the opportunity to work through it, allowed me peace of mind that it ticked all the boxes and aligned to our vision and mission from a learning and development perspective linked to quality, compliance, serving our clients and supporting our learners in an optimal fashion.
In terms of the accreditation component, Omni and P4P have walked a journey with multiple SETA’s. Omni has ensured that its platform was accredited to offer online learning and it was an easier conversation to approach the SETAs regarding P4P and ask the question: can we have the best of both worlds and can we collaborate to achieve a mutual objective?
DvdB: There are three distinct systems; an LMS (Learner Management System), an e-Learning content offering system and an e-Assessment and e-Portfolio system. A common misconception is that companies who have an e-Learning system, feel they can simply add a file (in that system folder) and now have an e-Portfolio system, however it does not carry the governance side.
In terms of the collaboration, we make use of Omni Stack; which carries Omni’s LMS and online learning and P4P carries the e-Assessment and e-Portfolio and we are currently exploring the link to create a seamless journey for the learner as the end-user.
CL: Data protection has been an aspect considered and built-in from the start of our digital transformation journey. As part of our Quality Management System, which is a key requirement for accredited training providers (in South Africa) our policies and procedures needed to be adapted for digital and online learning and will now further be enhanced based on the P4P relationship.
DvdB: When P4P started, we decided to build on the Microsoft Azure Stack which has several protocols already built-in. The co-founder of P4P operates in Europe and therefore our platform is required to comply with GDPR requirements as well. We have certainly ensured we keep our finger on the pulse from a POPI perspective and its variations across the EMEA band.
CL: Several organisations still have staff working in the work-from-home model so participating and engaging in online learning is fabulous, however, the portfolio of evidence became a challenge as it is traditionally paper-based. We wanted to remove that barrier, and this is the gap we have addressed through this collaborative partnership.
DvdB: In terms of the practical workplace component that requires assessment, every provider needs to review how evidence will be collected in the digital space. In the Omni space, they have gone and reviewed their work-integrated learning component and adapted it, to still meet the criteria, providing the learner with the opportunity to collect natural evidence within the workplace. The risk that exists for training providers is not being open to digitization. You cannot simply follow the current “low-tech or no-tech” assessment process or assessment evidence requirements, without reviewing the impact on a learner and the quality or type of evidence that can be collected when moving into the digital space.
CL: Clients can certainly look forward to being assured that as an organisation we have closed the loop between online assessment to e-Assessment and now e-Portfolios. Clients will have the opportunity to access a holistic and seamless (learning) package and those who support digital transformation will see the benefit in the solution. As an organisation, we are certainly excited that our partnership with P4P will challenge organisations in South Africa to make the shift and think differently about learning and skills development.
