The government requires companies to have a disaster risk management plan in place.

Outcomes-Based Assessment:

Delegates earn the SSETA credits when they complete and submit the formative and summative assessments.  These form part of a post-training work-based Portfolio of Evidence (POE) evaluated by an assessor and moderator.

Upon completing the POE and found competent by the assessor and moderator, the SSETA registers the delegate’s results on the National Learners’ Record Database.  These results remain a lifelong achievement for all delegates to further their careers.

SAFMA awards CPD points to registered SAFMA members on the presentation of their Certificate of Attendance.

All venues used for the facilitated training format have been inspected and are compliance with COVID-19 Government and Hospitality Industry Standards.

Delegates are responsible to provide their own cloth face mask and wear it for the duration of the training programme.

A Health and Safety Induction will be done at the beginning of the training and enforced throughout the contact days.
