COMPANY PROFILE

NQ Plus Networks (Pty) Ltd has been operational since 1999, as a subsidiary company of Dyna Training - a national, accredited supervisory/management training provider.

Arising out of a need to research and develop National Qualifications Framework (NQF) issues for it's parent company, NQ Plus identified a need for simple, plain-English solutions for companies trying to understand and apply the NQF. 
This developed into a range of practical, user-friendly tools (from step-by-step CDs to wall-charts), a series of active NQF learning programmes and the supply of services around skills planning and quality systems for training delivery and accreditation.
