Icando now fully accredited with the LGSETA!

Great news! Icando has been awarded full SAQA accreditation as a training provider for LGSETA for qualifications in Environmental Practice NQF levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, having undergone a re-accreditation audit at the end of September 2009.

This means that if someone goes on one of our courses they can claim back their skills development levies from the SETA in terms of South Africa's Skills Development Act.

Hazardous waste management course, Swaziland

June has recently returned from running a hazardous waste course for the Swaziland Electrical Company in Swaziland. Old transformer oil and e-waste are some of the wastes they have to manage.

DAEARD Waste Management Training

Icando ran an Introduction to Waste Management course for the Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs and Rural Development (DAEARD) in Pietermaritzburg from 18-19 August. The course was attended by provincial Environmental Officers from various districts in KwaZulu-Natal, a wonderfully motivated and enthusiastic group of learners who gave us very positive feedback.

Here are a few photos of the course in progress (click on images to enlarge them):
