Our initial training program was aimed at the electroplating industry where we offer a 5 day course for senior line operatives as well as supervisory and management staff. Since launching this popular course, approximately 340 trainees have benefitted.
In response to several requests from the industry SAMFA has structured a one-day training seminar for metal finishers including powder coaters. Its objective is to assist employees to carry out their work responsibilities in a safe and health conscious manner. Originally aimed primarily at tank hands, the material has been modified in response to popular demand and now caters for a wider audience including line supervisors, middle management and company owners.
SAMFA has developed a powder coating training course aimed at floor level staff. The course has now run in all three of SAMFA's regions, Cape, Gauteng and KZN. With each presentation improvements are incorporated and the most recent presentation was delivered in Gauteng during October/November 2011.
SAMFA is committed to training of staff at all levels in the metal finishing industry
Electroplating for Supervisors and Senior Operators
Powder Coating Training for Entry Level Staff
Health and Safety in Metal Finishing - Introductory Course
The original intention of this training was to address the needs of actual gun operators on the floor but in practice factory owners, managers, line supervisors, sales staff and new entrants into the industry have also enrolled themselves to learn more about this fascinating subject.
During 2011 there was renewed interest from the Cape and KZN Regions and courses was presented to a total of 25 candidates from these provinces.
