GENERAL INFORMATION

COURSE APPLICATIONS

As much as we try to accommodate all learners where possible, the maximum number of trainees that CAN BE

accommodated in our courses is 15 per group, mainly due to optimization of the learning experience. Therefore,

to avoid disappointment we urge you to submit an application form within 20 working days prior to

commencement of the course. Remember, for this we will work on the first-come first-serve basis

The application form is attached at the back of the brochure and should be completed and faxed to the number

indicated i.e. 012 428 6623; alternatively this can be scanned and e-mailed to [email protected].

VERY IMPORTANT: Application forms should reach the Training Academy 20 working days prior commencement

of the course.

REGISTRATIONS

After receipt of your completed application form, you will be forwarded a quotation. Upon acceptance of this

quotation, proof of acceptance should be returned, accompanied by an authorised documented purchase order

number (on the official company letter-heads) alternatively proof of payment should be faxed or emailed through

to SABS Training Academy. Final confirmation of the booking will be sent to you via e-mail upon receipt of all

required documentation, 5 working days before the course commence .

ACCOUNT APPLICATIONS

Please note that in 2012, the SABS implemented a new Credit Management Procedure to help manage the credit

risk we were previously exposed to. It requires that all customers applying for our training courses without an

existing account (i.e. a credit account or cash account) with the SABS will be required to complete an account

application form, AA88.

This will be issued by our administrators. It ensures that all customers are billed on their own unique customer

account number that will be or has been created in the SABS accounts system.

Should you or your company NOT have an account with the SABS, please ensure that your Training Course

Application form is accompanied by the Account Application form (AA88).

All Credit Account holders will be expected to generate and send us a legitimate Purchase Order on their

company’s official letterheads and signed by their company’s authorised personnel.

All Cash account holders will have to send us proof of payment a week before the training commences, to

[email protected] .

FEES

NOTE: All course fees are charged per person and per module [i.e. module 1 (Understanding and Implementation)

is charged separately from module 2 (Auditing)].


PAYMENT

Course fees are payable in full and in advance. Failure to provide proof of payment will lead to the learner being

refused entry to the course. Proof of payment must be submitted to the Course Administrator 5 working days

prior to attendance of class.

A discount could be negotiated where 3 or more learners from the same organisation, attending the same course,

at the same time and are all paid for on the same date from the same account. (Not applicable to In-house

courses, where a separate quote will be issued for the presentation of that course.)

Tax Invoice – Can only be provided upon receipt of an authorised purchase order number (if the organisation has

an account with SABS) and for Cash customers, it will be provided upon receipt of a proof of payment.

POSTPONEMENT and CANCELLATIONS

All cancellations and postponements of confirmed bookings must be received in writing at least 5 working days

prior to commencement of the course. If not, for postponement, a 10% of course fees shall be payable and for

cancellation a 25% of course fees shall be payable.

Should a learner not attend a course without providing prior notification of cancellation or postponement, then

the full course fee will be payable.

Note: The SABS Training Academy reserves the right to cancel any course, but undertakes to inform all affected

learners as early as possible regarding such cancellations. The only reason that a course would be cancelled

and/or postponed is due to insufficient number of learners.

TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION

Learners are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements. As per request, we can assist by

supplying contact numbers of guesthouses, hotels or bed and breakfast establishments in the vicinity but SABS will

not be held liable if conditions of these places do not meet your expectations.

COURSE PRESENTATION

Courses will be presented in English only. Special needs will, however be considered in line with our language

policy, especially in cases where In-house courses are presented. 100% ATTENDANCE IS A REQUIREMENT ON ALL

OUR COURSES.

Courses are presented using a variety of training methods and techniques, and these include lectures, videos,

assignments, handbooks and exercises. Group participation is encouraged throughout, as it enhances the learning

experience. Learners are continuously evaluated throughout the learning program.

Where a course consists of more than one module, it is COMPULSORY that the modules be done in sequence (i.e.

Module 1 first and then Module 2) or alternatively if the learner has completed the module 1 with a different

institution, he/she can apply for an exemption. The exemption would require a leaner to submit the following for

evaluation at the SABS Academy:

• Concise résumé

• Copies of qualifications/short courses attended

• Course content/index for the course attended in relation to module 1 of all the courses you need to be

exempted for.

When this is found satisfactory, the delegates will be required to also write an entrance exam at a cost of R300

and should they attain 60% or more, they'll be accepted for module 2.

Note: For ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007, the legal courses are strongly advised for better

understanding of the legislation and by-laws governing the afore-mentioned courses. These will become

compulsory for learners seeking the SAATCA certification.


ACCREDITATION

The SABS Training Academy is registered with SAATCA (Registration number is 003) for the following auditing

modules: - ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001.

The Training Academy is also accredited by the SERVICES SETA, accreditation number 3842 as a provider of

education and training for the delivery of the following programmes:-

i. Quality Management Systems: Implementation and evaluation of ISO 9001:2008 –NQF level 5 with 12

Credits

ii. Quality Management Systems: Auditing ISO 9001:2008 –NQF level 5 with 10 Credits

We have also been granted international recognition to offer Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) training.

CERTIFICATION

100% attendance is compulsory from each learner for certification purposes.

Where examinations are required, the following rules will apply:

The pass mark for all courses is 60%. For courses where SAATCA certification is sought; the pass mark of 70% is

required. In both instances a certificate of Successful Completion will be issued.

Should a learner achieve between 40% - 59%, one re-write of the examination will be allowed within a 4-month

period from the date of the initial examination at no charge. Should a learner request a re-write beyond the 4

months period, a cost of R500 will be payable. This is only allowed within the year of attendance, otherwise

learners will be required to re-attend at a regular fee.

All re-writes will only be marked up to 60%.

If a learner achieves less than 40% for the specific module or course, he/she will be required to re-do the course

at own cost.

Where no examinations are required, certificates of attendance will be issued.

RE - ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES

Certificates will be issued within 3 months of completion of training, provided all necessary requirements have

been fulfilled, including payments. All re-issue requests done after the stipulated period or a year after the training

was conducted will be at a cost of R400 per certificate.

IN-HOUSE PRESENTATION OF COURSES

An in-house presentation means, a trainer representing SABS is sent to the customer’s site or their preferred

venue at the customer’s cost to conduct the requested training.

All SABS Training Academy courses can be presented as In-house training courses. These training courses can be

customized to suit the customer’s requirements.

Only written requests for In-house training will be accepted.

A quotation will then be sent. Upon receipt of a signed quotation from a customer, accompanied by the proposed

training dates (3 options at least), the training confirmation will be sent upon the receipt of the documented

purchase order number. This should be on the company letter-heads (if they have an account with SABS)

alternatively, they may apply for a credit or cash account by completing the AA88 form.


NOTE: In-house courses will be presented to a minimum of 10 and maximum of 20 learners per session.

To facilitate professional service, efficient planning and supply of competitive quotation, a customer is requested

to provide notification of where the training will be presented and a number of people to be quoted on.

Remember, the minimum number required to conduct an in-house training is 10.

The customer or organisation will be responsible for providing a suitable training room with audio-visual

equipment and all necessary training tools (including projectors, flip charts etc.) as well as refreshments and any

amenities they see fit.

ISO 14001:2004 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

SOUTH AFRICAN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ISO 14001:2004

OVERVIEW

The minimum legal requirements of ISO 14001 necessitate a commitment by the organization’s top

management to comply with all the applicable environmental legislation. In order to implement this

commitment, organizations must identify and have access to all applicable legal requirements. The

relevance and application of the identified laws should also be understood and captured in the

environmental management systems.

It follows that the legal requirements, together with the other elements of the environmental policy, must

guide the organizations’ objectives and targets and environmental management programmes. It must also

be incorporated into operational and monitoring procedures where appropriate.

The fragmentation of South Africa’s environmental legislation makes the isolation and interpretation of

applicable legislation complex. Therefore, our legal training course has been designed to equip learners with

a working knowledge of the most important South African environmental laws. The course also highlights

the practical application of the law to the typical industrial and mining environment. The main objective of

the course is to enable learners to identify and relate the applicable laws to their industries’ activities,

products and services.

Environmental legal issues should be strategic priority of every organisation. Therefore, personnel tasked

with the implementation, management and evaluation of an environmental management system (EMS)

effectively, they require an understanding of legal issues pertaining to EMS.

Note: The course focuses on obligations imposed by the respective act and regulations and not on

philosophies underpinning the legislation.

SANS 10330:2007 HACCP SYSTEMS

OVERVIEW

Within the food and drink industry, HACCP is a well-known technique used to analyze potential

food safety hazards in an operation. It assists in identifying where these may occur and also in

evaluating which are more critical to consumer safety. The increasing demand for control of food

and drink processes has resulted in companies worldwide introducing and maintaining HACCP

systems.

This course is designed to enable learners to understand, implement and maintain HACCP systems

based on SANS 10330: “The implementation and management of a Hazard Analysis and Critical

Control Point (HACCP) system”. The system ensures that companies produce food and drinks that

are safe for human consumption

.


INTRODUCTION TO HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL CONTROL POINT (HACCP)

OVERVIEW

People have the right to expect that the food they eat is safe, it is therefore imperative that

manufactures of food products implement food safety systems that are able to identify hazards

and practices that could render food unsafe, and implement systems to ensure customers and

consumers’ expectations are met.

The HACCP system, as it applies to food safety management, uses the approach of controlling

critical points in food handling to prevent food safety problems. Besides enhancing food safety,

other benefits of applying HACCP include effective use of resources and timely response to food

safety problems. In addition, the application of the HACCP system can result in more focused risk

management and can promote international trade by increasing buyer confidence in food safety.

The successful application of HACCP requires the full commitment and involvement of

management and the entire workforce.


Introduction to HACCP – SANS 10330

This course aims to provide a basic understanding of food safety, and the application of the 12

steps of HACCP. It helps make personnel attending the training, to understand their role within the

food safety system, and provides guidance towards implementation of a HACCP system.
