About Brainwave Projects
Brainwave Projects was registered in 2003 initially to conduct commissioned developmental research as well as to provide skills development training. Its vision was to be a major contributor to the economic development of Southern Africa through timely delivery of accurate and reliable research data for the implementation of development planning projects, as well as through the empowerment of as many citizens as possible for employment and poverty eradication. Brainwave Projects is an accredited service provider by both SASSETA and the ETDP SETA. It is therefore governed under the strict Quality Management Systems of the South African qualifications authority (SAQA).
