NQF Level 4 Qualification

Elevate Tomorrow's Educators

LETCEE’s 18-month training program, now endorsed by QCTO as of February 2025, offers aspiring educators a comprehensive NQF Level 4 qualification. This certification is a gateway to uplifting entire communities by equipping graduates with the tools to make a lasting impact in early childhood settings.

  • QCTO-accredited curriculum
  • Hands-on practicum at local ECD centres
  • Support: mentoring, peer networks, career guidance

While the transition to QCTO has increased costs and extended the program, LETCEE is determined to remove these barriers. Your sponsorship can empower more students to complete their training and bring quality education to children who need it most.

Sustainability in the Classroom

Applied Paper Technology (APT)

Our APT initiative transforms upcycled materials into vibrant learning aids, marrying eco-conscious practices with pedagogical innovation. By teaching ECD practitioners to repurpose waste, we foster green values alongside early learning.

Why APT?

  • Reduces classroom waste by an estimated 40% per centre
  • Upskills local staff, strengthening community economies
  • Sparks creativity with hands-on, eco-friendly teaching tools

Key wins:

  • Over 3,000 children learning about sustainable learning materials
  • 120 ECD practitioners trained in upcycling techniques
  • Partnerships formed with more than 50 pilot centres
