SKF South Africa Training Solutions has obtained accreditation through the South African Institute of Mechanical Engineers (SAIMechE) on five of its training courses. The accreditation is applicable to the following five SKF training programmes: bearing maintenance and technology; bearing damage analysis; precision shaft alignment; and vibration analysis category 1 and 2.
The company is the first bearings manufacturer to receive this accreditation, which is mandated by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). This complements the company’s two other accreditations: British Institute of Non-destructive Testing (BINDT) for vibration analysis training and MerSETA for bearings and lubrication training. SKF is also the first business unit within the global SKF group to accredit regional SKF training centres.
SKF Training Solutions trains approximately 500 delegates on its various programmes annually. “Accreditation of our training programmes enables us to offer our customers, authorised distributors and delegates several important advantages,” says training solutions manager, Steve Parkinson. “Our accredited courses now enable engineers to claim CPD credits as part of their development. Furthermore, accreditation is affirmation of our ongoing commitment to our customers to provide training programmes that are of first class quality and highly relevant to the industry.”
SKF South Africa currently has two accredited regional training centres in Cape Town and Durban. Approximately 70% of the training being conducted by SKF is onsite at customer premises.
