TRAINING
General
One of the key objectives of SAAFFI is to disseminate information and knowledge by offering industry-focused education and training. Attendance is open to all, whether employed by a SAAFFI Member or not.
PSTC
A SAAFFI Precise Short Training Course (PSTC) gives attendees a good overview of the subject covered. The set-up encourages interaction between the attendees and facilitator, for which reason numbers are limited. The subject of each course is focused and presented by an expert in that field. PSTCs offer an inexpensive training option, and ensure that attendees are not away from their work for more than half a day.
Information about up-coming courses is emailed to all those subscribers to SAAFFI Bulletins. To subscribe, go to https://saaffi.co.za/contact-us/
Annual seminar
SAAFFI’s annual seminar in March has become a highlight in the calendar. Now approaching its 20th year, the themes have been wide-ranging on subjects that are generally topical, somewhat different to everyday business, to encourage delegates to ‘think out of the box’.
Information about each year’s event is emailed to all those subscribers to SAAFFI Bulletins. To subscribe, go to https://saaffi.co.za/contact-us/
