The agreement authorises Fazi Rail to use ACTOM’s in-house training material for signalling products and systems to base its training courses on.
“As part of this we’ve undertaken to provide them with the training material we use to train our clients’ signalling technicians when we supply and install new or upgraded signalling systems for them,” said Peter Colborne, Signalling’s General Manager.
Portia Nkuna, Fazi Rail’s Managing Director, said: “The endorsement by ACTOM Signalling of our courses and its agreement to provide all the required information pertaining to its products and systems ensures that our course content will be correct.”
She added that ACTOM Signalling had been selected as the best possible source for the content of Fazi Rail’s courses because it has the largest installed base of signalling equipment in South Africa and also offers the greatest variety of signalling products and systems in the country.
Fazi Rail, which is a SA Qualification Authority (SAQA) accredited training provider, offers training to anyone who has qualified in terms of the National Qualification Framework (NQF) Levels 2 through to 5, corresponding to Grades 10 through to a post-matric certificate.
