"Skills Transfer SA has a fantastic system that balances theoretical knowledge with practical, on-site experience. I spent 4 months on site with Jan Bierman and during this time my knowledge of construction (and particularly quality control) increased tremendously. This also created an awareness of the importance of proper site supervision. I would recommend the training provided by Skills Transfer SA to any young Engineer."
