• 123259 – CONVEYING OF DANGEROUS GOODS

The primary purpose of the Electrical Department is to enrich the knowledge and skills of learners, apprentices and the community at large in the field of Electrical Engineering.

In doing so, we facilitate various qualifications, courses and skills programs that are registered with ESETA, MERSETA and CHIETA. The courses we present are Modular or Unit Standard based and include a considerable portion of practical application or experiential training. Competence is measured through proven and successfully passing assessments, methods and practical evaluations.

APPRENTICESHIPS

The range of courses offered are approximately a year in duration for each level. The learner would complete an initial three to four months at ETC before going to a host employer where they would practically apply what they have learned. At the end of the year the learner returns to ETC for their assessment and evaluation, done by an independent moderator. If judged competent, the learner may then progress to the next higher level.

GENERAL COURSES

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND WELDING DEPARTMENTS

ETC has the resources to train in a very wide range of mechanical skills, developing both young minds as well as old hands, providing both with a diversity of skills and techniques to fabricate, repair and maintain anything related to the mechanical field.
This Department currently presents the accredited Manufacturing Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (MERSETA) legacy Apprenticeships and Learnerships.

Non accredited training is presented at the same quality level as that of accredited training.

Most of this training is in the welding field designed from DIY to industry required standards.

 ACCREDITED COURSES

APPRENTICESHIPS

The range and duration of modular courses offered range from 1 day up to 3 months with a combination of numerous modules.

A 3 year apprenticeship requires on average a 3 month institutionalised modular training period at ETC (min Phases 1-3), thereafter a 3 month training period at a technical college (min 4 subject NTC 2 in the relative trade) and thereafter a 3 month on the job exposure in the technical field at a selected company (minimum 80 weeks).

After completing the 3 years and the minimum requirements one can apply for a trade test.

One does not have to complete a full phase at a time, modules may be selected from within each phase and be completed according to a training calendar drawn up by the department head.

 

Recognition of prior learning is also able to be established on request.

LEARNERSHIPS

The range of courses offered are approximately a year in duration for each level. The learner would complete an initial three to four months at ETC before going to a host employer where they would practically apply what they have learned. At the end of the year the learner returns to ETC for their assessment and evaluation, done by an independent moderator. If judged competent, the learner may then progress to the next higher level.

 

Generally, Learnerships at the lower level average around 20 to 24 individual registered unit standards. Any one, or any combination or group of specific unit standards can be offered to individuals or industry to suit particular requirements.

There are 2 challenges when considering unit standard training is that it requires a group of at least 8 learners and a host company is to be secured prior to enrolment with merSETA.

LEARNERSHIPS

 

The range of courses offered are approximately a year in duration for each level.

The learner would complete an initial three to four months at ETC before going to a host employer where they would practically apply what they have learned.

At the end of the year the learner returns to ETC for their assessment and evaluation, done by an independent moderator.

If judged competent, the learner may then progress to the next higher level.

 

Generally, Learnerships at the lower level average around 20 to 24 individual registered unit standards.

Any one, or any combination or group of specific unit standards can be offered to individuals or industry to suit particular requirements.

There are 2 challenges when considering unit standard training is that it requires a group of at least 8 learners and a host company is to be secured prior to enrolment with MERSETA.

SHORT COURSES

Specific courses can be tailored to meet client requirements, drawing from the vast range of training material that ETC has readily on file or from information from the client.

The Supervisory Training Department presents a large range of Supervisory courses that are suitable for all, from delegates and shop floor to junior management. Many aspiring leaders in the industry today did not receive the necessary grounding that will enable them to progress up through the ranks to middle management. They have the practical skills and knowledge for the task, but lack what can best be described as “people and administration skills.” Thus ETC can provide the necessary training and background needed, allowing the potential leader to assume his or her rightfully place in an organization.

ODETDP

Occupationally Directed Education Training & Development Practices falls under the Supervisory Training Department.

Modules include Facilitation, Moderation and Assessment.

COMPUTER COURSES

Computer literacy is a vital skill to have, for the operator on the floor, who may never type a letter, but needs to access parts lists, schedules, prices, availability, and short fall lists.

Teaching the operator just certain key strokes could be construed as insulting. It is human nature to want to know more, even those that have a limited education. By not trying to expand the operator’s knowledge, you are limiting him or her to that position for all eternity. Growing the ability of staff is Government policy, and ETC can structure courses, mainly centered around Microsoft Office, to meet the needs of first time operators as well as those with a reasonable working knowledge that want to improve efficiency.

All of the three courses can each be presented completely as a full course, or each module, or combination of various modules separately, or the entire package can be purchased for in-house presentation by companies.
