The Leadership Development Institute (formerly the Johnson & Johnson Leadership Development Institute) was originally established on the East London Campus of Rhodes University in 1988.

From its inception until 1995, the LDI’s primary focus was centered around a number of social action projects such as: Junior Rugby Development, Academic Support Programmes, Fine and Performing Arts Programmes, Tennis development and a Junior Leadership Development Programme.

2012 heralds the 23rd year of our existence in East London, something that we are exceptionally proud of.

After a 19-year association with Rhodes University which came to an end in 2007, the LDI now has full accreditation through the ETDP SETA and has Programme approval from other SETA’s for a wide range of skills programmes which it facilitates. As a fully-fledged independent training provider, the LDI is eminently well equipped to address the chronic skills shortage in the Eastern Cape.

The Institute which operates as a Section 21 Company, is well placed to offer Organisations a complete solution to the Training challenges. As a credible and accredited provider, the LDI prides itself on the delivery of high quality, aligned programmes which are facilitated in a professional environment which is conducive to adult learning.

The LDI has the necessary expertise to assist organisations with competency assessments and also offers a wide range of skills workshops including Assessor and Moderator Training.
