    Wear clothing appropriate for kneeling, sitting and standing. When you are knelling you may be leaning forward so it best not to wear short clothing like skirts or shorts and loose fitting blouses.

    Yes.  This is for certification purposes only.   Identification could be your passport, residence permit, driving licence, company identity, provisional licence, student card.  These are examples and the list is not exhaustive.

  • Tell me more about on-site courses ?

    On site courses are literally courses held at your premises. 


    There are conditions for courses being held at your premises.  Some of the criteria ranges from adequate space for practical training for the students and trainer, noise and interruption level must be minimum and access to toilets and welfare facilities will be needed.


    On site courses work on a different pricing structure than open courses and can be scheduled with a minimum of 2 students.
