The Northern Cape is South Africa’s largest province by area and its least populous. Its capital is Kimberley, famous for diamond mining. Today the province mines iron ore and manganese, farms along the Orange River, and has become a centre for solar and other renewable-energy projects.
Distances are enormous. Travelling to a training venue can take a full day, which makes online learning the practical choice for many organisations.

Training needs in Northern Cape
Mines, renewable-energy projects and government offices in the Northern Cape train people at remote sites. Training has to work at a distance and, often, without a reliable connection.
