Vuka Training and Development (EST 2003) and Perceptum Competence consultants (EST 2007) merged in 2013 to become Vuka-Perceptum.  We are accredited with the ETDP SETA.

Vuka

Vuka is a Zulu word for: wake up from sleep. The name is carefully selected to encourage the people of South Africa to become more aware (to wake up) of the importance of skills development.

Kobus Venter

Managing Owner

With a B.A. degree majoring in Drama, Kobus started his career at the College of Educational Technology.  Here he managed the design and development of audio-visual training programmes and performed the creative roles of scriptwriter, director and video editor. Shortly after joining the College, he qualified as Instructional Designer in Educational Technology.  This laid the foundation for a rewarding career in Training and Development.  Kobus later got promoted to Chief Facilitator at the college and had the opportunity to guide and support 18 training staff members.

In 2003, Kobus established Vuka Training and Development and received accreditation from the ETDP SETA.  In 2007 he established Perceptum Competence Consultants with a business partner and in 2014 merged the two companies, now trading as Vuka-Perceptum.

Kobus always distinguishes himself from peers.  He applies creative whole brain learning techniques to ensure fun, yet valuable learning experiences.  He partners with numerous corporate clients, clients in manufacturing and the local government, always developing soft-skills and focussing on performance improvement.

Kobus holds an Honours Degree in Human Resource Development.  He is a qualified Life Coach and Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner.  He also completed his Quantum Energy Coaching certificate recently.  In Kobus’ own words:

“I am living my passion since I started my career in 1990.  My passion is creating opportunities for people to discover, develop and dynamically transform themselves.  I find my deepest gratitude in seeing people transforming to be one step closer to live their full potential.”

“My life transformed in 2002.  I discovered miracles happening in my life when I embedded my life in the deepest level of faith and gratitude.  I follow a principled approach and only allow true conviction to drive my development initiatives creatively.  My thirty years expertise in business understanding, people knowledge, and creative skills are now integrated, and I am available to share it with the world.”
