Who should attend:
Technical and non-technical professionals, including policy-makers, economists, engineers, and communicators, seeking a foundational understanding of nuclear energy.
Highlights:
-
Understand how nuclear reactors and fuel cycles work
-
Explore the difference between large reactors and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
-
Address common myths about safety and waste
-
Gain insight into South Africa’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP2025) and Africa’s nuclear future
🚘 New Energy Vehicles (NEVs)
Driving Africa’s transition to cleaner mobility.
The Introduction to New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) course unpacks the fast-growing world of electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Participants learn about the technologies, infrastructure, policies, and market dynamics shaping the transport sector of tomorrow.
Who should attend:
Fleet managers, engineers, policymakers, sustainability professionals, and anyone exploring cleaner transport solutions.
Highlights:
-
Fundamentals of electric and hybrid vehicle technologies

Policy frameworks and opportunities for Africa’s mobility sector
⚙️ Energy Management Systems Made Easy (EnMSi Easy)
Building and implementing a practical energy management system for every sector.
The EnMSi Easy programme simplifies the science and management of energy. Designed for Energy Services Companies (ESCOs), energy auditors, facility managers, and sustainability professionals, this workshop provides a hands-on foundation in how energy is generated, converted, measured, and managed across residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Delegates will learn to:
-
Identify energy-saving opportunities in homes, buildings, and industrial systems
-
Conduct energy assessments and audits
-
Support clients in implementing cost-effective and compliant efficiency solutions
-
Apply the principles of energy management systems (EnMS), M&V, and energy baselines
