Wow – BEE Verification Conference!
Gavin Levenstein
The course material is absolutely fantastic. Our experts have been hard at work preparing the presentation and the handouts. It is quite simply amazing.
I’d heard of the concepts, but this conference is taking the concepts and turning it into real practical knowledge that is easy to understand and will genuinely make a difference to a business’s BEE scorecard. After attending the presentation and reading the notes you will know the benefits of BEE, be completely prepared for your BEE verification and know how to earn maximum BEE points.
Some of the many topics include:
The regulations around BEE Verification
The elements with proof and document templates
Record keeping – preparing a file with all the required documents.
How to calculate your score, understanding self assessment and preparing the correct data for verification
How to justify legal arguments around claiming points
Selecting the right BEE Verification Agency
The practical outcome of the BEE Verification conference is:
I cannot wait, in just over three weeks we will be presenting the first conference in JHB and shortly thereafter in CPT and then DBN. In 20 minutes of glancing at the presentation, I realised that we have included more about practical BEE Verification than you could possibly imagine.

This would be funny if it were not so serious
The new minister of energy will be talking at a seminar tomorrow. The media release published by her spokesman states:
…The AMEF played a pivotal role in the development and final agreement by all major industry players to commit to the Liquid Fuels Empowerment Charter. This was a pioneering initiative in that it was the first charter to facilitate empowerment of historically disadvantaged individuals in any industry.
