Aircraft Sheet Metal Work:
The Aircraft Sheet Metal Workshop training programme is done in partnership with AERO SUD Industries. The training is presented on two levels:

  • Basic Sheet Metal hand skills (2 weeks)
  • Aircraft Sheet Metal Technology (6 weeks)

The entry level is an apprentice or equivalent with an aptitude in this field. There is a shortage of trained personnel in this field and the aeronautical industry is at present contracting in personnel from abroad to fulfil their needs. The career opportunities exist in the aviation industry in South Africa and abroad. Enquiries:

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC):
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) could control a wide variety of industrial situation from single action, high repetition work to once-off applications involving complex manipulation. Programmes could be quickly modified to adapt to new situations.

The following are some practical applications: The monitoring of fluid pressure and volume flow rates at pump stations, the controlling of moving parts in bins and automatic storage retrieval systems in warehouse automation and the testing of assemblies as they are being installed in production lines.
