Secequip Assessments 12 September 2015

Secequip Assessments Continue:

On 12 September 2015 the SECEQUIP / GDE skills training proigramme continued with the assessment of the second of four groups to be assessed in this year.


In this group there are quite a number of girls are being assessed. This is great as there are very few female alarm installers in the field. 

With a female's finer affinity for the aesthetic, girls are excellently positioned to do alarm installations, especially in the domestic and corporate environment where attention to detail and aesthetics play a large roll in customer satisfaction.

The alarm industry in South Africa is a booming industry as a result of socio economic challenges experienced by members of society and insurance companies alike. This make the training of alarm installation technicians all the more important.

Secequip Skills Assessments - 4 September 2015

See the pics below of the skills programme of Secequip and GDE as it went down to the wire this past Saturday.

We have MANY girls doing alarm installation skills in this program

Seen here is Alfie Schlebusch of Secequip (left) and Dolf Willemse of Primrose HS engaging a girl learner during the skills assessment.

Dolf assessing one of the students. Clearly a difficult question was being asked!

The skills level of the learners were on panel wiring, programming and fault finding.

Learners are not allowed to converse during assessments. Skills are demonstrated as individuals.

With a required pass rate of 80% this skills assessment is NOT EASY.
