Safety First At Our Training Centre

July 19th, 2010

Although Advantage ACT became 10 years young in 2010, we only launched our first public training centre about a year ago during the economic slump.

All the Advantage ACT safety, health, environmental and quality courses and initiatives such as our Zero to Hero programs are facilitated at the training centre.

Despite the difficult economic times, clients still supported the Safety, Health, Environmental and Quality courses presented at the new venue.

The Advantage ACT training centre, located on the outskirts of the Silver Lakes Golf Estate in Pretoria, features secure parking and four well-equiped training venues that can seat around 50 learners with ease.

Our training centre provide clients with an opportunity to experience the Advantage ACT difference, our hospitality, and the abillity of our facilitators to provide  training that can compare with the best in the World.

Riekie shows she can protect her clients when it might become necessary.

In support of this new innitiative, the Advantage ACT staff participated in emergency preparedness planning that included fire-fighting and first-aid training.

We are now all ready to ensure our visitors and guests enjoy their stay in a safe and healthy environment.

You can now download our public course schedule here. It is required to complete a course booking form before you come on one of the courses listed on the schedule.

It is a good idea to phone or email us about the courses you are interested in attending as we have found that some may be fully booked well in advance of the course dates.
