Electrical Drawing, Management and SchematicsCPD Ref: SAAMA00180
2.5 CPD Credits
Facilities depend on electrical power to run profitably day in and day out.  That's why it makes sense to know your electrical drawing and schematics, prior to acceptance, and afterwards, to ensure safe, reliable operation.  By performing regular maintenance tests you become aware of the hidden problems in your electrical system, before they become disasters.  IN effect, you may avoid expensive failures and unscheduled outages, and most importantly, personal injury.

This 3-day program is designed to provide you with knowledge of the various types of electrical diagrams used in the industry, and to develop the skills necessary to read, draw and interpret these diagrams.

SAAMA Certificate for Physical Asset Management Practitioners (SCPP) Exam
CPD Ref: SAAMA00158
0.5 CPD Credits
SAAMA regards the PAS 55 standard as an important guideline for ongoing growth in terms of physical asset management maturity.  Therefore we maintain a set of standards against which the skill and knowledge of individual PAM practitioners and consultants can be measured. 
This measurement aims to provide a realistic and objective indication to industry as to the capability of the individual to support and facilitate the process of ongoing growth towards full PAM system maturity. 
Individuals are then measured against the set of standards by means of a conventional written examination, and certified as such upon meeting the SAAMA minimum requirements.

Please take note that the Exams will take place in both Cities (Centurion and Durban) on the same dates.  Durban venue to be announced closer to the date.
