BR, Ansaldo deal produces first graduates

Phineas Murinda and Kennedy Sesinyi graduated after four years of study. In November they received their Electrical Certificates at a Botswana Training Authority (BOTA) graduation ceremony. At the end of last month, the two received their Railway Signalling certificates, after completing in-service training with Ansaldo STS.

The training was both institutional and on-the-job. It was led by a team of Ansaldo STS experts and complimented by the global firm's academies in Australian and France who sent accredited tutors to Botswana.Ansaldo STS also provided equipment specific and procedural courses while conducting assessments. This means the qualifications Murinda and Sesinyi received are internationally recognised.
