founded in May 2002 by King Costa, with a sole purpose of providing clients with
access to credible, real-time information, education and communication in the
area of organisational development and healthcare. Employing such
all-encompassing strategies as the "CASE" concept (Communication,
Advice, Solutions and Education) to address the organisational needs in its entirety,

companies that do not compromise class and standards. We are ideally positioned
to deal with the major changes and economic impacts that lie ahead for our nation
and a rapidly developing sub-Saharan continent. Our operating mandate is simple:
to help our clients improve their business, from addressing broad issues to dealing
with specific problem areas. Our consultants and associates are committed to becoming
an integral part of the client’s business – staying in touch with
changes, learning with them, focusing not just on current needs, but on future
strategies and the changing needs these will bring. KC&A is registered
with the Services SETA as a provider of education and training in line with the
Skills Development Act and the SAQA. Our company affiliates to The HRD Group based
in the United Kingdom. Through this association, our programmes are accredited
by Investers In People. We are also accredited by the international Institute
of Leadership and Management (ILM), a subsidiary of City and Guilds also based
in London. All our trainers go through a fitness programme through the ILM to

in a wide range of industries. This broad knowledge is combined with expertise
