Why should I follow VivaciousV Learning Edge on LinkedIn?

By following our company page you’ll receive free regular compliance tips, regulatory exam study hacks, and invites to exclusive CPD webinars — all tailored to South African professionals. You will also be the first to hear about any new courses or webinars as they launch.

Can I DM you on LinkedIn for support or bookings?

Yes. Our inbox is monitored during business hours (08:30–17:00 SAST). For private queries it’s still faster to email verena@vivaciousv.co.za.

How do I make sure I don't miss a post?

On the company page, click Following → Bell icon → All notifications. LinkedIn will then alert you each time we publish.

Do you offer group discounts?

Yes. Discounts start at 10 % for groups of five or more delegates booked on the same course date. For quotes, email verena@vivaciousv.co.za with the number of learners and preferred dates.

Can you customise content for our company?

Absolutely. We can embed your internal policies, case studies and branding into the material and adjust the level of depth to suit different roles.

Do you register me for the RE exam if I attend training?

Exam registration is handled by accredited exam bodies (e.g., Moonstone). We’ll guide you through the process and provide the forms, but you’ll book and pay the exam fee directly. Moonstone operates computer‑based test centres in all major SA cities. The current fee is R1 226 per attempt (July  2025). This is separate from our training fee.

What happens if I fail the RE exam?

You can re‑write after 15 - 30 days. We offer a discounted 1‑hour coaching session to analyse your score breakdown and create a focused revision plan.

Are sessions recorded?

For privacy reasons live classes are not recorded. However, you’ll receive all slides and study notes.

Do you offer training in Afrikaans?

Public courses are in English. Afrikaans facilitation can be arranged for closed corporate groups (minimum 10 learners).

Are you a B-BBEE compliant supplier?

Yes. VivaciousV Learning Edge is a Level 4 B‑BBEE contributor (100% procurement recognition). A valid certificate is available on request.

What is your VAT status?

We are not currently VAT‑registered; all prices are inclusive of any applicable taxes.
