Energy Cybernetics-IEMT Course

Industrial Energy Management Training Course: 18-20 May 2009

The Energy Training Foundation (ETF) is presenting an Industrial Energy Management Training Course. This is a 3-day programme that was developed by the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) with support from Danida. The Industrial Energy Management Training (IEMT) Course is CPD (Continuous Professional Development) accredited and will earn you 4.0 Credits.

The Industrial Energy Management Training Course will be held during the week of 18-20 May 2009 at Birchwood Executive Hotel and Conference Centre, Johannesburg.

This 3-day programme offers a very practical and hands-on treatment of the management aspects of energy management. In addition to developing an understanding of the issues, it is intended to begin the actual planning process of energy management of industrial clients.

Because the course outcomes essentially involve increased organisational capacity for energy management, it is especially beneficial if more than one person from a given organisation attend as a group. The common understanding of the issues arising from the course will help to bridge any gaps that might exist within the organisation regarding the importance and practicality of energy management.

Target groups that will benefit from the training are:
