The South African Training Industry Due to unique circumstances in the South African training industry the awareness of the importance of training has definitely come to the fore. Especially since the promulgation of the Skills Development Act and other related legislation. The training of employees is now seen in a much more proactive and strategic light. Intoweb We strive to provide companies with occupation-directed education, training and development practices. This means that Intoweb's courses are not overburdened with theory, but focus on intensive hands-on training. In an industry which emphasises training for the sake of meeting legislation requirements, Intoweb focuses on programming or software skills which can compliment and add value to your current vocation, whether it be design, development or database administration. Intoweb gives hands-on training and includes a comprehensive textbook to ensure that learners confidently develop the necessary skills. The main advantage of a lecture-based training is that the student gets to interact with the instructor, ask questions, and ask for further explanation when things are not clear. Classes also offer a more structured environment. Many people find a lecture-based course environment easier to learn in compared to trying to learn by themselves.
