"I came from Kriel looking for work in the mines. After completing my excavator and dump truck training at the Witbank branch I was placed at a coal mine within 5 weeks. The training is exactly what mining employers are looking for."
"I did my forklift and overhead crane training in Witbank. The instructors have real mining experience and the practical training is excellent. I now work at a coal processing plant near eMalahleni."
