2 Apprenticeship Competency Based Modular Training (CBMT): Within this system we cater for four trades: Automotive Electrician, Automotive Engine Fitter, Diesel Mechanic and Petrol Mechanic. Even though the Automotive Electrician and the Diesel Mechanic sign a time based apprenticeship contract, we follow the CBMT curriculum in our training program. Our Company: Accreditation as a training provider was awarded to the AA Training Academy on the 21 st June 2006, for the facilitation of the full qualifications of Autotronics and Maintaining Vehicles as well as apprentice training in the trades of: Automotive Electrician, Automotive Engine Fitter, Diesel Mechanic and Motor Mechanic (accreditation number: 17-QA/ACC/0023/06). This allows our clients to claim certain grants and tax benefits against training done with us. We have also been accredited by the Services Seta (Accreditation Number: 23-TRA ). Accreditation as a testing facility was awarded to the AA Training Academy on the 9 th March 2007, for the trades of Automotive Electrician, Automotive Engine Fitter, Diesel Mechanic and Motor Mechanic (accreditation number: 17-QA/ACC/0192/07), which enables us to offer a complete qualification solution. We are currently providing apprentice training for large companies such as Volvo Trucks, Sandown Motors, Unitrans Passenger, Grinaker, ZF Gearboxes and a number of smaller companies. We also provide product training for vehicle Manufacturers or importers. Grants and Tax Benefits: Companies registered with the skills levy, would be entitled to claim grants for training from their relevant SETA s. Under Merseta an apprentice could enable a company to claim up to R against training expenses. These are termed Discretionary grants and need to be applied for from the Merseta during a funding window usually open in April and May of each year. By contacting the relevant Merseta Client Liaisons Officer (CLO), a company can request guidance and information relating to the grant claims as well as the apprenticeship registrations. SARS extends a further R60000 tax exemption per apprentice per year. Please enquire with SARS s or your Accountants for further information. Company incentives: For clients that would train a minimum of 10 apprentices per year and are willing to sign a Service Level Agreement (SLA), highlighting a long term relationship between our two companies, we have the following incentive for business volume: Page Number: Page 2 of 7 Revision Date: 06 Sep 2011

3 Discount for volume of students committed to the training programs: 5% - for training a minimum of 20 delegates (within the first year) on a full apprenticeship or Learnership program 7.5% - for training a minimum of 40 delegates (within the first year) on a full apprenticeship or Learnership program Discount for prompt payment 2.5%: If the client settles the account in full within than 30 days or less, the discount will be credited in the following months invoice For clients who wish to deal with us on a cash basis, we insist of upfront payment of the weeks training. However we will extend a discount for upfront payment of a full levels training session (excludes training materials): 5% of the daily rate per delegate - for upfront payment of a full level training session Note: Should the numbers committed to by the client not materialise, the supplier shall have the right to reclaim the shortfall due to discounts given in the pretext of committed business The training process: For an exclusive class for your company employees we would require a minimum of 12 delegates per course all on the same level. If this number is not met then the remaining seats will be open to delegates from other companies. Entry requirements for apprenticeship: The minimum age and educational qualifications for commencing apprenticeship shall be 16 year and a grade 10 (Standard 8). However a grade 11 (standard 9) or matric (standard 10) with maths and science would be preferred. The training program: A total of 4 levels need to be completed over a 1.5 to 4 year time frame. An apprentice will attend an average of 6 weeks of institutional training. These visits are scheduled over either 6 months per level (in line with the Accelerated Artisan Training Project (AATP) or over 12 months per level. Institutional Training Visits: The breakdown of the training visits per trade is as follows: 1. Motor mechanic a. Level 1 5 weeks b. Level 2 5 weeks c. Level 3 7 weeks d. Level 4 6 weeks Page Number: Page 3 of 7 Revision Date: 06 Sep 2011

4 During these visits with the service provider, the apprentice will undergo theory, practical and level exam preparation training. The training is scheduled one week at a time, after which the apprentice returns to work to practice his newly learnt skills. The employer may choose to qualify the apprentice between 18 months (minimum) and 4 years. This choice would influence the number of visits to the Training Academy per year and the time spent away from the workshop. A training calendar will be provided for the years training and a reminder will be sent out one week prior to the next visit of the apprentice. Subjects Covered per Trade: Motor Mechanic Level 1 1. Orientation to competency based training 2. Safety and first-aid knowledge in the workshop 3. Identify lubricants, materials and metals 4. Care and use of tools applicable to the trade 5.

Remove and replace diesel fuel injectors and pump, service filters and diagnose engine performance Trade and Level Tests: Once the training for each level has been completed, the apprentice will need to pass a level exam before moving onto the next level, for the Motor Mechanic only. However we recommend that this is also done for the Automotive Electrician and Diesel Mechanic, as it gives performance measurable milestones and would highlight short comings or problems at regular intervals. The final test or trade test would be the Level four Exam for the Motor Mechanic and a Section 13 Trade Test for the Automotive Electrician and Diesel Mechanic. The Section 13 Trade Test for the Motor Mechanic is no longer available, thus all Motor Mechanic apprentices need to follow the Level Test system. An apprentice may write a level test a minimum of six months to a maximum of one year apart per level, thus allowing the apprentice to qualify in a minimum of two years to a maximum of 4 years. Trade Test (section 13) entry requirements: N2 or higher with relevant trade theory A full CBMT course Full NQF 2 and 3 Qualification Since the colleges no longer offer the N-Courses, an exemption to the entry criteria was made. An apprentice may now qualify to write the trade test if they provide a signed Declaration (official Merseta Document) as proof of performing all relevant training in all required fields, such as using the CBMT curriculum. Practical Test Subjects per Trade: The apprentice and its employer should be made aware of all the tasks and subject an apprentice would need to be skilled and trained in, this would ensure the successful passing of the trade or level tests.

6 As per the apprenticeship contract, the company is responsible to ensure that the apprentice is exposed to all trade related tasks. If a company should not offer a certain field, since it would make use of a sublet vendor for certain jobs, e.g. adjusting Wheel Alignment, the apprentice would need to be sent to the sublet vendor for practical exposure. The Training provider will be able to do all theoretical training and demonstrate the practical skills, however day to day experience required for passing a trade test would need to be gained in a real life workshop situation.
