SABS Training Academy Brochure


FOREWORD

Since the dawn of civilization the survival of communities has depended on trade. As communities grow they

become more dependent on others in providing goods and services, looking after the environment, establishing

health and safety measures and in general meeting statutory and legal requirements which may have an effect on

what their businesses have to offer.

Trained and skilled staff is required to accomplish all the many complex tasks which are required in the execution

of the many activities which make up a business. With this in mind, the SABS continues to offer specialised

management systems courses in many disciplines which could have a major effect on the success of an

organisation. Systems are universally required in order to ensure consistency and direction across all sectors of the

supply chain. The implementation of a system in any of the domains remains an integral part of any organisation

whether big or small. Many additional courses have been added to our product offerings as detailed in our training

brochure.

The SABS continues its involvement and belief in the promotion of training and up-skilling of all persons across all

spheres by offering high standards of training across the many disciplines listed in our brochure. The education

and development of all our people to deliver on quality products and services consistently, has always been a

priority.

It is with this philosophy in mind that we take pride in our Training Academy and dedicate ourselves to the

philosophy and beliefs of our beloved teacher and leader of all times, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, who said

”Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

All courses listed in the brochure can be presented at your premises by arrangement with SABS Training Academy.

The Academy continues to maintain its registration with the Southern African Auditor and Training Certification

Authority (SAATCA) and has acquired accreditation with the Services SETA.

The SABS has a history of serving Southern Africa and the rest of the world for more than 60 years and continues

to do so with great success. We are, therefore, proud to present our 2014 Training Brochure.

Please also visit our website at www.sabs.co.za or send any training enquiries to [email protected]

NOTE: Due to enquiries from our clients, the SABS Training Academy intends to offer Saturday classes for all the

courses on the brochure, from April going forward. This will be dependent on the number of applicants interested

and submitted application forms. The minimum number of learners required to conduct this is 10.

Yours truly,

THE SABS TRAINING ACADEMY MANAGER

GENERAL INFORMATION

COURSE APPLICATIONS

As much as we try to accommodate all learners where possible, the maximum number of trainees that CAN BE

accommodated in our courses is 16 per group, mainly due to optimization of the learning experience. Therefore,

to avoid disappointment we urge you to submit an application form within 20 working days prior to

commencement of the course. Remember, for this we will work on the first-come first-serve basis

The application form is attached at the back of the brochure and should be completed and faxed to the number

indicated i.e. 012 428 6623; alternatively this can be scanned and e-mailed to [email protected].

VERY IMPORTANT: Application forms should reach the Training Academy 20 working days prior commencement

of the course.

REGISTRATIONS

After receipt of your completed application form, you will be forwarded a quotation. Upon acceptance of this

quotation, proof of acceptance should be returned, accompanied by an authorised and documented purchase

order number (on the official company letter-heads) alternatively proof of payment should be faxed or emailed

through to SABS Training Academy. Final confirmation of the booking will be sent to you via e-mail upon receipt of

all required documentation, 5 working days before the course commences.

ACCOUNT APPLICATIONS

Please note that the SABS has implemented a new Credit Management Procedure to help manage the credit risk

we were previously exposed to. This requires that all customers applying for our training courses without an

existing account (i.e. a credit account or cash account) with the SABS will be required to complete an account

application form, AA88.

This will be issued by our administrators. It ensures that all customers are billed on their own unique customer

account number that will be or has been created in the SABS accounts system.

Should you or your company NOT have an account with the SABS, please ensure that your Training Course

Application form is accompanied by the Account Application form (AA88).

All Credit Account holders will be expected to generate and send us a legitimate Purchase Order on their

company’s official letterheads and signed by their company’s authorised Personnel.

All Cash account holders will have to send us proof of payment a week before the training commences, to

[email protected] .

FEES

NOTE: All course fees are charged per person and per module [i.e. module 1 (Understanding and Implementation)

is charged separately from module 2 (Lead Auditor)]

PAYMENT

Course fees are payable in full and in advance. Failure to provide proof of payment will lead to the learner being

refused entry to the course. Proof of payment must be submitted to the Course Administrator 5 working days

prior to attendance of class.

A discount could be negotiated where 3 or more learners from the same organisation, attending the same course,

at the same time and are all paid for on the same date from the same account. (Not applicable to In-house

courses, where a separate quote will be issued for the presentation of that course.)


Tax Invoice – Can only be provided upon receipt of an authorised purchase order number (if the organisation has

an account with SABS) and for Cash customers, it will be provided upon receipt of a proof of payment.

POSTPONEMENT and CANCELLATIONS

All cancellations and postponements of confirmed bookings must be received in writing at least 5 working days

prior to commencement of the course. If not, for postponement, a 10% of course fees shall be payable and for

cancellation a 25% of course fees shall be payable.

Should a learner not attend a course without providing prior notification of cancellation or postponement, then

the full course fee will be payable.

Note: The SABS Training Academy reserves the right to cancel any course, but undertakes to inform all affected

learners as early as possible regarding such cancellations. The only reason that a course would be cancelled

and/or postponed is due to insufficient number of learners.

TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION

Learners are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements. As Per request, we can assist by

supplying contact numbers of guesthouses, hotels or bed and breakfast establishments in the vicinity but SABS will

not be held liable if conditions of these places do not meet your expectations.

COURSE PRESENTATION

Courses will be presented in English only. Special needs will, however be considered in line with our language

policy, especially in cases where In-house courses are presented. 100% ATTENDANCE IS A REQUIREMENT ON ALL

OUR COURSES.

Courses are presented using a variety of training methods and techniques, and these include lectures, videos,

assignments, handbooks and exercises. Group participation is encouraged throughout, as it enhances the learning

experience. Learners are continuously evaluated throughout the learning program.

Where a course consists of more than one module, it is COMPULSORY that the modules be done in sequence (i.e.

Module 1 first and then Module 2) or alternatively if the learner has completed the module 1 with a different

institution, he/she can apply for an exemption. The exemption would require a leaner to submit the following for

evaluation at the SABS Academy:

• Concise résumé

• Copies of qualifications/short courses attended

• Course content/index for the course attended in relation to module 1 of all the courses you need to be

exempted for.

When this is found satisfactory, the delegates will be required to also write an entrance exam at a cost of R400

and should they attain 60% or more, they'll be accepted for module 2.

Note: For ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007, the legal courses are strongly advised for better

understanding of the legislation and by-laws governing the afore-mentioned courses. These will become

compulsory for learners seeking the SAATCA certification.

ACCREDITATION

The SABS Training Academy is registered with SAATCA (Registration number is 003) for the following auditing

modules: - ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001.

Where examinations are required, the following rules will apply:

The pass mark for all courses is 60%. For courses where SAATCA certification is sought; the pass mark of 70% is

required. In both instances a certificate of Successful Completion will be issued.

Should a learner achieve between 50% - 59%, one re-write of the examination will be allowed within a 4-month

Period from the date of the initial examination at no charge. Should a learner request a re-write beyond the 4

months Period, a cost of R500 will be payable. This is only allowed within the year of attendance, otherwise

learners will be required to re-attend at a regular fee.

If a learner achieves less than 50% for the specific module or course, he/she will be required to re-attend the

course at own cost.

Where no examinations are required, certificates of attendance will be issued.

ISSUE/RE - ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES

Certificates will be issued within 3 months of completion of training, provided all necessary requirements have

been fulfilled, including payments. All re-issue requests done after the stipulated period or a year after the training

was conducted will be at a cost of R400 per certificate and proof will be required of successful completion.

NOTE: In all cases where certificates have been issued and posted, and a delegate /organization is in possession of

the advised tracking number, it remains the responsibility of the delegate to ensure that the certificate is received.

The Training Academy cannot carry the responsibility of keeping certificates which have either not been collected

by the delegates themselves OR claims are made of non-receipt.

IN-HOUSE PRESENTATION OF COURSES

An in-house presentation means, a trainer representing SABS is sent to the customer’s site or their preferred

venue at the customer’s cost to conduct the requested training.

All SABS Training Academy courses can be presented as In-house training courses. These training courses can be

customized to suit the customer’s requirements.

Only written requests for In-house training will be accepted.

SOUTH AFRICAN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO

ISO 14001:2004

OVERVIEW

The minimum legal requirements of ISO 14001 necessitate a commitment by the organization’s top

management to comply with all the applicable environmental legislation. In order to implement this

commitment, organizations must identify and have access to all applicable legal requirements. The

relevance and application of the identified laws should also be understood and captured in the

environmental management system.

It follows that the legal requirements, together with the other elements of the environmental policy, must

guide the organizations’ objectives and targets and environmental management programmes. It must also

be incorporated into operational and monitoring procedures where appropriate.

The fragmentation of South Africa’s environmental legislation makes the isolation and interpretation of

applicable legislation complex. Therefore, our legal training course has been designed to equip learners with

a working knowledge of the most important South African environmental laws. The course also highlights

the practical application of the law to the typical industrial and mining environment. The main objective of

the course is to enable learners to identify and relate the applicable laws to their industries’ activities,

products and services.

Environmental legal issues should be a strategic priority of every organisation. Therefore, personnel tasked

with the implementation, management and evaluation of an Environmental Management System (EMS),

require an understanding of legal issues pertaining to an EMS.

Note: The course focuses on obligations imposed by the respective act and regulations and not on

philosophies underpinning the legislation.

COURSE DURATION: Five (5) days

COURSE OUTCOMES

ISO 27001:2006 UNDERSTANDING AND AUDITING INFORMATION SECURITY

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (ISMS)

OVERVIEW

Like any other important business asset, information has benefits. It has value to an organisation and

consequently needs to be suitably protected. Information security protects company data from a wide

range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize business damage and maximize return on

investments and business opportunities.

Increasingly, organisations and their information systems and networks are faced with security threats from

a wide range of sources, including computer-assisted fraud, espionage, sabotage, vandalism, fire or

flooding. Sources of damage such as computer viruses, computer hacking and denial of service attacks have

become more common, more ambitious and increasingly sophisticated.

Dependence on information systems and services means organisations are more vulnerable to security

threats. The interconnection of public and private networks and sharing of information resources increases

the difficulty of achieving access control.

Information security is characterized in the standard as the preservation of:

• Confidentiality

• Integrity

• Availability
