Training Academy - Vital College

Building the Standard From the Ground Up

Every space Excellerate manages depends on the people who show up every day to maintain it.
 
A security officer who is properly trained is not just a compliance tick. They are a genuine deterrent, a reliable first responder, and a professional representative of the property they protect. A cleaning team that has been trained to a defined standard delivers results that an undertrained team cannot. 
 
Excellerate Services operates Vital College, a professional training academy providing accredited training for individuals working in security, cleaning, and facilities management across South Africa. Vital College is where the Excellerate standard begins.

What Vital College Offers

Security Industry Training

PSIRA-aligned training for security officers across all relevant grades. From entry-level guarding through to specialised roles, Vital College provides the theoretical and practical foundation that regulatory compliance and operational performance require.
 
The security industry in South Africa is heavily regulated. Officers who are not trained and registered correctly are a compliance risk for the businesses that employ them and the clients that contract them. Vital College addresses this from the start.

Cleaning and Hygiene Training

Professional training for cleaning and hygiene staff covering equipment handling, chemical safety, infection control protocols, OHS Act compliance, and industry best practice. The training is designed around the environments cleaning professionals actually work in.
 
A cleaning programme is only as consistent as the people delivering it. Vital College ensures the people who work in Excellerate’s programmes, and those who are trained externally, are working to a professional standard.

Learnerships and Skills Programmes

SETA-aligned learnerships and skills programmes that support both individual career development and organisational BBBEE training spend requirements. For companies with skills development obligations, Vital College provides a credible, structured training solution.s for commercial properties of every scale.
