Agricultural Training Bookings

To book a training course or courses, Growers need to phone Petro McAuliffe on 031 508-7706 or send her an email at petro.mcauliffe@sasa.org.za.  The fax number is 086 678 5060.

Just give us sufficient time, like a few weeks before your envisaged date for training.  The Centre will make a note of requests and schedule the required courses in the area, and will let you know when and where the training will take place. 

The minimum number of learners per course is meant to make sure that offering the course is cost-effective for the STC.  Growers may elect to fill each course with their own employees or if fewer employees require training, the Centre will manage the requests and set up a course when sufficient learners from an area are booked on a course.

The workshop skills courses are offered at STC Mtunzini Campus. The minimum number of learners per course is 12.  Growers may elect to fill each course with their own employees or if fewer employees require training, the STC will manage the requests and set up a course when sufficient learners can attend.
