Dear  Bruce

Thank you for your question regarding boilermaker / welding education and training providers in the Lydenburg area of Mpumalanga.

We suggest you discuss your training needs with your nearest College for Further Education and Training (FET College). A course may not be on the website because they don’t have enough learners to fill the course, therefore it is imperative for companies to discuss their needs with their local college. Many colleges are also able to develop and deliver industry specific courses to meet the needs of companies in their area.

The following Colleges are probably the closest to your in Lydenberg:

• Nkangala FET College http://www.nkangalacollege.co.za/pages/home.htm which as a number of campuses including the Middelburg and Witbank campuses.
• Ehlanzeni FET College (http://www.ehlanzenifet.co.za/) which has a number of campuses in and around Nelspruit.

We also suggest you contact some of the iron and steel industry institutes and associations to see if they have any training provider information. For example, the South African Iron and Steel Institute (www.saisi.co.za), South African Institute of Welding (www.saiw.co.za), Southern African Institute of Steel Construction (www.saisc.co.za), Association of Steel Tube and Pipe Manufacturers of South Africa (www.astpm.co.za), Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (www.seifsa.co.za) and Southern Africa Stainless Steel Development Association (www.sassda.co.za). Some of them may be able to bring training courses to your premises.

We hope this information will help you to enlarge your network and to find suitable education and training providers in your area.
