TRAINING

& DEVELOPMENT

All motor dealers face the challenge of retaining and developing effective management and staff to allow them - and the business - to grow. By providing needs based training, individuals can grow and deliver in a way that suits the dealership and the individual.

Sewells has the experience and expertise in the motor industry to provide the total training needed for individuals and dealers to achieve world-class standards. Sewells has more than 27 years experience in South Africa, as a leading training organisation in the motor industry.

The training philosophy is one where learners leave their training experience not only motivated, but with the skills and practical experience to be able to apply their new knowledge in the workplace.

We believe:

• People learn by doing.
• Learning must be based on identified needs.
• Training must be aligned to the realities of the business.
• Training must focus on improving business performance.
• Learning and development is a process.
• Learners must be given an opportunity to demonstrate competencies.
• Training is best delivered by people steeped in the field.
• Training material must support the learning process.

We accomplish this through:

• Basing classroom training on action learning principles.
• Planning and creating learning activities that confront or stimulate the work environment realities.
• Designing assessment processes and tools that accurately address the criteria for assessment.

Structuring workplace assignments that provide an opportunity for learners to integrate learning into work practices in a mentored environment.

Utilising practical career path based curricula and accredited skills programmes. Evaluating training based on dynamic benchmarks and best practices. Basing training outcomes on NQF registered unit standards where appropriate.

Sewells is accredited with the MERSETA has a MOU with the INSETA and is provisionally registered with the Department of Education:

• MERSETA Reg. No. 17-QA/ACC/0208/07
• INSETSA MOU
• DOE 2008/FE07/069
