Lioness Launch / South Africa’s Blazing Moon Corporate Training launches new Video and E-Learning programmes

November 14, 2021 Melanie Hawken

Brenda MacLaren, founder, Blazing Moon Corporate Training (South Africa)

These days, the need for virtual training and development services to supplement those that can be obtained by in-person programmes, has never been greater. In South Africa, Blazing Moon Corporate Training, founded by entrepreneur Brenda MacLaren, is a SETA accredited business that offers blended learning solutions. The company has developed a range of Video and eLearning programmes that are launching in the first quarter of 2022. The company has been a long standing training provider since 1999. It is accredited with the MICT SETA for its IT courses and the Services SETA for all its soft skills training courses, as well as being a registered training provider with COMENSA (Coach and Mentors of South Africa). The company offers both short skills programmes and learnerships that can be conducted in live online sessions and also facilitated in classroom sessions.


Blazing Moon Corporate Training programmes are completely customizable for the needs of the company they are dealing with. Videos and eLearning will be offered as an extension of its current live online training and offered to these learners at a much discounted rate. For other learners who wish only to do eLearning, this will be available to them 24/7 at hugely competitive rates. Learners can download the results achieved, as well as their certificates of competence. All learners will have access to the company’s learner portal that has additional resources to further their life long learning and personal development.

The new video and e-learning programme offerings will be launched to the public at a date and time to be announced and advertised on social media. Individual bookings can be made through our course calendar for available courses:

https://www.blazingmoon.co.za/course-calendar

The aspirations for the new video and eLearning programmes are to extend existing offerings to corporate clients, attract new customers and learners who are serious about developing themselves on an ongoing basis. The aim is to offer customers cost effective, customized and quality training geared to the South African market.

Speaking about the new programme launch, founder Brenda MacLaren says:

“Blazing Moon's passion is to provide blended learning solutions and empower people. We are a one-stop accredited training provider for all your technical and soft skills developmental learning needs.”
