With over 30 years of expertise in electrical training, development, and quality assurance, I am dedicated to empowering the next generation of skilled tradespeople and advancing South Africa's electrical industry. Starting as an Electrician Apprentice in 1987, I qualified in 1992, gaining extensive experience in electrical installations and maintenance, particularly in Cape Town factories.
A career highlight was winning the South African Skills Olympics (Industrial Electrical Wiring) in 1991, leading to my role in pioneering South Africa’s participation in the World Skills Olympics from 1993 onward.
In 1992, I established the Electrical Contractors Association Training Centre in Port Elizabeth, which later became IETI. Rising to Centre Manager and shareholder, I guided its growth until its acquisition by UXI Artisan Development Group in 2022. As Campus Manager until October 2024, I ensured the delivery of high-quality training programs.
Key Achievements:
Technical Expert for EWSETA, contributing to national trade certifications.
Member of NAMB’s Trade Test Task Committee, shaping trade tests across industries.
Quality Manager (2002–2022), developing learning materials and industry-aligned training frameworks.
Mentored countless trainees and professionals, fostering excellence in their careers.
Vision:
I strive to leave a lasting impact on South Africa's education and training sectors by empowering individuals, promoting excellence, and advancing artisan development.
