The Bookseller’s Programme

The SA Bookseller’s Association recently announced the development of an official online training programme. The qualification will carry the endorsement of the association, with plans to obtain SETA accreditation in the next phase. This exciting new project was made possible thanks to generous sponsorship by Bargain Books and Exclusive Books.
The programme is being developed for SABA by a company called Tuit Learning, who specialise in online courses, and have extensive experience in partnering with universities and companies in South Africa. Students will be able to enrol in individual courses, but will need all the courses to obtain the qualification. It will be available from the SABA website, and is open to anyone at a cost of R1500 per course. SABA members however, will receive a 50% discount for all their employees.
The writers of the programme all have years of experience in the trade, and are working with all sectors to make it as inclusive as possible. The first half of the course is planned to go live in April this year, with completion planned for September.
