ARTISAN TRAINING CENTRE Rustenburg (ATCR)™
ATCR is a private artisan training center, established to cater for the training needs of apprentices and clients in the Rustenburg platinum belt. Either many workers are semi-skilled and lack their final trade qualification, or many potential artisans don't have an accredited facility locally to attend for upskilling and short courses outstanding. Although we will start with a few trades in 2026, we are in the process to add more full qualifications every few months.
Apart from the formal qualifications trained, ATCR also offer refresher courses, short courses, super short course and trade test GAP training throughout the year. Some of the KM (theory modules) can be offered at your premises and online.
Our Mission: ATCR provides quality training, upskilling, and advisory services to our clients. We will strive to implement a long-term relationship with our students, based on safety, quality, timely service, and customisation of upskilling according to the students needs.
Apart from our standard operating procedures to ensure cum laude accreditation, ATCR will deliver well-rounded artisans with added basic financial and supervisory skills, enabling them to add immediate value to a team and improve their level of employability.
