ABOUT CQ
TECHNICAL AND
VOCATIONAL.
CQ Technical and Vocational Training Centre is a subsidiary of C Q Chiura Services Group (Pty) Ltd, established as the group's dedicated platform for technical, vocational and skills development — building practical capability, creating opportunity and contributing to the economic future of South Africa.
OUR STORY
CQ Technical and Vocational Training Centre was established as part of the C Q Chiura Services Group's vision to create sustainable business and skills-development opportunities in South Africa. The centre was founded on the belief that practical, quality education is one of the most powerful tools for transforming lives, strengthening communities and driving economic participation.
Based in Pretoria North, Gauteng, we are a CETA accredited training provider delivering occupational qualifications, skills programmes and professional development workshops to individuals and organisations across South Africa. Our programmes span NQF Levels 1 through 7, covering construction, electrical, early childhood development, business and entrepreneurship, project management and the public sector.
As part of a broader group of companies, the centre draws on shared expertise, resources and a commitment to excellence — ensuring that every learner who walks through our doors receives training that is recognised, relevant and built for the real world of work.
OUR PURPOSE, VISION & MISSION
Why We Exist
To equip people with practical skills, knowledge and development pathways for a changing world of work — contributing to individual growth, professional development and community impact.
We exist to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity, giving individuals from all backgrounds the chance to build recognised qualifications, gain workplace-ready skills and create a sustainable livelihood for themselves and their families.
Where We're Going
To be a nationally recognised technical and vocational training institution that transforms lives through practical skills development, creating lasting economic and social impact across South Africa.
We envision communities where young people and working professionals alike can access quality, accredited training that leads to real employment, enterprise creation and continued growth — building a stronger, more inclusive economy from the ground up.
How We Do It
Delivering quality CETA accredited occupational qualifications and skills programmes in a practical, supportive learning environment that connects learning to real opportunity.
We achieve this through experienced facilitators, industry-aligned curricula, hands-on practical training and dedicated learner support — ensuring every graduate leaves not only with a qualification, but with the confidence and capability to use it.
OUR STRATEGIC GOALS
Our work is driven by a clear set of goals that extend beyond the classroom — shaping individuals, communities and the broader economy.
DRIVING ECONOMIC GROWTH
Skills development is a direct contributor to economic growth. By producing qualified, capable individuals in construction, electrical, business and public sector fields, we help build the workforce that drives infrastructure, enterprise and service delivery. Every learner who gains a recognised qualification becomes an economic participant — earning, spending, employing and contributing to the prosperity of their community and the country.
REDUCING YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT
Youth unemployment remains one of South Africa's most pressing challenges. We address it directly by providing young people with practical, accredited qualifications that employers recognise and value. Our programmes are designed to connect learning to real opportunity — giving young people the skills, confidence and credentials to enter the workforce, build careers and break the cycle of unemployment.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP CREATION
Through programmes such as New Venture Creation, we support aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools and confidence to start and grow their own businesses. Entrepreneurship is a powerful engine for job creation and community development — and we are committed to equipping individuals not only to seek employment, but to create it. Our learners are encouraged to think beyond the classroom and build enterprises that serve their communities.
PRODUCING SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS
Our ultimate measure of success is the success of our learners. We are committed to producing graduates who are not only qualified, but capable — people who can step into a workplace, start a business or pursue further study with confidence. Through practical training, dedicated facilitators and a supportive learning environment, we help every learner reach their full potential and build a foundation for lasting success.
