Henri Fisher . . . in-house training on demand. “BACK IN 1997 we were the new kids on the block, but now almost seven years later, we have been accepted by the industry as a training provider that has stood the test of time.” Henri Fisher says this of Skills Development Specialists (SDS) which provides clearing and forwarding courses nation-wide, with full time, part-time and correspondence options available. In-house training is offered on demand and special one-day workshops are also provided. From its head office in Durban, SDS provides training in Gauteng, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and even Musina, the country’s most northern border. Surveys, says Fisher, have shown that there is a demand for classroom based training, although the correspondence courses are increasingly popular. SDS has received provisional accreditation from the TETA: F&C Chamber and is presently in the process of being audited for full accreditation. “We are finding more and more employment agencies calling for SDS certificates from applicants, which demonstrates the esteem in which our courses are being held these days.”
