The award marks a significant moment for the South African training provider, strengthening its position in the global skills development market and expanding its focus beyond its home country.
A Proven Skills Development Foundation
Founded in 2000, the company has spent more than two decades delivering accredited training programs for organizations and learners. Its work has been shaped by South Africa’s regulated skills development environment, including learnerships, QCTO qualifications, skills programs, online learning, and soft skills workshops.
That experience has created a delivery model built around structure, accountability, and practical outcomes. Over the years, Edge Training has worked with more than 500 businesses across sectors, including supply chain, logistics, food and beverage, wholesale and retail, contact centers, information technology, hospitality, business, and management.
Responding to a Global Workforce Challenge
While its foundation is local, the challenge it addresses is increasingly global. Across industries, employers are under pressure to close skills gaps, build stronger teams, and prepare people for changing technologies. Edge Training’s focus remains clear: helping global industries build capable people for a changing world.
“Global Recognition Awards allows us to tell a bigger story,” said Dave Blakemore, Founder and Chief Operations Officer at Edge Training. “Edge Training has always been about practical learning, real workplace outcomes, and changing lives through skills development. That doesn’t change depending on geography. The need for capable, work-ready people is universal, and that’s where we focus.”
Practical Training for Future-Ready Industries
The company is accredited with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations and multiple Sector Education and Training Authorities. It is also recognized by the Institute of Customs and Freight Forwarding as a Category 2 Silver Status training provider, supporting its work in supply chain, customs compliance, and freight forwarding skills development.
These credentials matter because they reflect more than compliance. They enable the company to design structured learning pathways, manage learner progress, promote workplace readiness, and align training with business needs.
Practical delivery remains central to the model. The company’s 3D learning model focuses on engaging, practical learning that helps learners build skills they can use at work. Its digital learning platform, Edge Online, also hosts more than 100 workshops accessible on mobile devices, tablets, and workstations, providing organizations with a flexible way to support ongoing employee development.
For Global Recognition Awards, the company’s selection reflects both its track record and its purpose-led approach to skills development.
“Edge Training Pty Ltd stands for what it means to lead with purpose,” said Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards, noting the company’s “dedication to changing lives through skills development.”
As it looks ahead, supply chain remains a key area of focus, supported by soft skills programs that strengthen communication, leadership, and workplace performance. The business is also expanding its offerings in IT and digital skills to meet the needs of organizations operating in increasingly complex, technology-driven environments.
The company's brand promise, Adding Value, Changing Lives, remains central to that growth. As industries continue to evolve, its focus stays consistent: delivering relevant skills, supporting business outcomes, and helping people succeed in the workplace. Through this commitment, the company delivers learnerships, QCTO qualifications, skills programs, online learning and soft skills workshops for organizations and learners. It is accredited with the QCTO and multiple SETAs, holds B-BBEE Level 1 status in South Africa, and has worked with more than 500 businesses.
