Training Services
The SMRI training offerings are widely regarded as among the best of their kind world-wide. Much of the success can be attributed to the programmes being customised to meet the technical training needs of the southern African sugar industry.
The diversity of topics covered in classroom-based offerings also attracts international attendees. The SMRI training is highly valued as it is delivered by sugar experts, many of whom are either accredited trainers, industry committee executives or senior managers in manufacturing companies. Thus, in addition to cane sugar technology skills, a practical perspective is obtained. The SMRI strives to ensure that no two training offerings are the same, as the topics and material are constantly revised to meet industry’s training needs. In 2018, 126 people were trained by the SMRI through the various training programmes.

Intrinsic value of SMRI Training
Oupa Nhambe (left), Factory Manager at Komati mill. As part of my EIT program, a couple of years back, I had the privilege of completing the 10-week course on sugar technology at the SMRI, and I can't express how impactful this experience was for my career. The course provided comprehensive knowledge about sugar manufacturing processes, modern technologies, and the latest industry trends, which significantly enhanced my understanding of the field. One of the standout aspects of the course was the practical approach taken by the instructors. Their expertise and real-world examples were invaluable, allowing me to relate theoretical concepts directly to my role. The networking opportunities with industry professionals were also a highlight, fostering connections that have been beneficial in my career. Since completing the course, I've seen a substantial boost in my confidence and skills. The insights I gained have allowed me to implement efficient processes and contribute to the overall improvement of operations at the factories I've been. I highly recommend the SMRI sugar technology course to anyone looking to advance their career in the sugar industry. It's a transformative experience that equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel.
