Pratley Training Workshops

The Pratley Training Centre was completed in 2004 and comprises a modern, fully equipped lecture room and practical workshop area of 300 square meters. The training is aimed at creating a culture of quality and distinction among South African learners, electrical artisans and engineers by educating on the importance of correct cable termination and electrical product selection.
