Electrical General

ALL THANKS TO KAYEC STAFF I must start off by admitting that I was quite skeptical about the idea of enrolling myself at Kayec. I walked in the premises of kayec Trust on the 4th of September 2017 and for the first two weeks; I could not help but wonder if I actually made the right decision. I had a vision and was heavy on a mission. Kayec soon eliminated all my doubts, with their unique set up on how they conduct their training and I was ready to take advantage of the time I had left. I was amazed by the dedication of the instructors and the attention they gave to each of their trainees while keeping a professional boundary. If it was not for their strict rules, value driven instructors that wanted nothing but to deliver their best, I would have given up long before I was elected as a member of the Trainees Representative Council (TRC) which boosted my confidence and added to my leadership skills. Kayec has helped me stay motivated on my goals and vision up until the end of my training. The fact that the training is completed in a period of 6 months developed an edge of furthering my training and I enrolled myself at WVTC. I was soon fortunate enough to get a three-year apprenticeship contract while only in my first year at WVTC all thanks to Kayec. I am glad I took the first step which was enrolling myself at kayec and will always be appreciative of all the staff members of kayec and the doors kayec has opened for me. Meŕlinde
