A career managed continuously, not assessed once.
Built as a journey, not a transaction: understand where you are, choose your path, develop the skills, apply them, and reassess as things change. Senior practitioner judgement is available separately through Consultations, by application, for decision-grade moments.
Grounded in Industrial Psychology, South African labour market intelligence and 23+ years of De Vlamingh & Associates consulting practice. We don’t price like an online course. We price like the consulting practice this comes from.

Diagnose where you’re going.
A short scan grounded in over two decades of South African career research produces a personal report: where you stand on six core capability areas, what that means for your next move, and which sector AI Playbook fits best. Free to begin, no sign-up required. The Career Report is the only fully-free tier; beyond it, take individual Foundations modules or AI Academy courses on their own, or the full CareerLaunch Sprint.

Why this is different.
Most AI career content circulating in South Africa is recycled US blog material, dressed up as a framework. PositionMeAI is built on published academic research and active consulting practice in South Africa. Every diagnostic, archetype and ethics callout traces back to peer-reviewed work, not opinion, not a sales funnel.
What we believe.
These are the principles that shape the work: what we will and won’t do in product, copy, and client conversations.
- No outcome promises. We help you build capability. We will never promise you a job, a hire, an offer, or a salary. That language is dishonest, and it’s everywhere in this market.
- Research before opinion. Every claim in our diagnostics, playbooks and ethics callouts cites a real, verifiable source. We don’t fabricate references, and we don’t inflate credibility.
- South African by default. POPIA, the Children’s Act, SANS standards, the Copyright Bill, professional registration bodies: the SA context isn’t a localisation pass we add at the end. It’s where we start.
- AI is a tool, not an identity. The future of work isn’t “learn AI or get left behind”. It’s craft, judgement and relational trust, with AI handling the volume that used to eat your evenings.
- The seat that matters is yours. AI drafts. You decide. We design everything to keep the human in the chair where it counts.
When you’re at a real inflection point.
1:1 Consultations sit separately from the Sprint: by application, per hour, delivered by senior associates from De Vlamingh & Associates, UNISA Industrial-Organisational Psychology lecturing staff, and (in development) retired registered psychologists. For people facing a career shift, a tough decision, a high-stakes interview window, or a leadership transition. Priced as expert consulting, not online coaching.
Senior practitioner time, where it actually shifts the decision.
Per-hour billing, online or face-to-face in Gauteng. Indicative range R1,500–R3,500 per hour depending on associate seniority. Apply with a short description of what you’re trying to work out; we respond within 2 business days with a proposed match, indicative rate, and available slots.
The Foundations, in order.
Six sequenced Foundations modules covering the transition journey from first job to next chapter. Each module stands on its own but builds on the one before it. Each has a 7-day Activation plan that drops into your calendar. Module 1 is free; take any single module for R99, all six for R449, or get them included in the CareerLaunch Sprint.
The path through the transition, grounded in published SA career research.
Foundation 1 · South African Workplace. The actual ground you’re entering.
Foundation 2 · Communication. Reading the room, writing it down, making yourself understood.
Foundation 3 · Positioning. The story about yourself you bring into the room.
Foundation 4 · The Job Search Playbook. SA-specific search mechanics that actually work.
Foundation 5 · Interview Intelligence. Day-of, the pause, and what comes after.
Foundation 6 · First 180 Days. Feedback, and what compounds from here.
