Passion4Performance: <\/strong>Winner of the Department of Science and Technology Director-General\u2019s Award for Overall Excellence, category for emerging enterprises
\nQualified by experience: it\u2019s how you use knowledge that counts<\/strong>
\nMost qualifications take years to complete. However, if what you already know \u2013 and can actually do with that knowledge \u2013 is taken into account, your completion time could be compressed into a matter of months, weeks or even days.

You might learn the basic rules in the classroom but learning to apply them in the workplace is what matters. When you go for training, you might already know a lot of the content and as such only need one or two training modules to wrap up your qualification.\u201d
\nThis is where Passion4Performance (P4P) comes in. \u201cKnowledge is good, but a knowledge test does not show what the learner is capable of doing in a real-life scenario. So, instead of writing a test, learners go back to the workplace, apply the skills acquired and are assessed in a live environment.\u201d
\nIn a nutshell, P4P\u2019s online assessment process works by connecting technology, innovation and people, as follows:<\/p>\n
