Trading as Chili Pepper IT, this private skills-training provider was established in 2005 in Sebenza, Edenvale, Johannesburg, Gauteng (Unit 15/16, Eden Office Park, 76 Wagenaar Street), where it remains based. It specialises in entry-level and foundational skills development rather than conventional higher education, targeting adults and youth (including those with disabilities or low literacy) who need a route back into education or employment. Its offering centres on Adult Education and Training (AET) literacy and numeracy courses, Foundational Learning Competence, learnerships, and basic computer/MS Office skills training. The website markets itself as an 'Accredited Training Centre' but does not state a specific CHE, DHET, QCTO, SETA, or Umalusi registration/accreditation number anywhere on the site, so that claim could not be independently verified from the source material.
