⚡ SANS 10142-1 ED. 3.3 WEBINAR REPLAY — COMING SOON! ⚡

What an incredible evening for the South African electrical industry! 🇿🇦

Our SANS 10142-1 Ed. 3.3 Amendment Webinar brought together electricians, contractors, Registered Persons, solar professionals and industry stakeholders for more than two hours of discussion, clarification and practical interpretation of the latest changes.

The response and participation exceeded our expectations — and for everyone who could not attend, could not get into the meeting room, or simply wants to go through the information again...

🎥 THE FULL WEBINAR REPLAY IS COMING SOON!

The recording is currently being edited and finalised and will include the complete discussion around the Ed. 3.3 amendments presented in collaboration by:

⚡ TDMI Training
⚡ Nearby Electrician
⚡ PQRS
⚡ AREP
⚡ ECA

🎙️ Featuring:

Wynand Moller — TDMI Training & Nearby Electrician
Carel Ballack — PQRS & AREP
Antony Schewitz — ECA

From installation and testing requirements to alternative supplies, PV, batteries, medical locations, structural considerations, fire risks and the new reporting requirements — the objective was simple:

Bring the industry together. Discuss the changes. Create clarity.

📢 Watch this space.

The full SANS 10142-1 Ed. 3.3 Amendment Webinar Replay will be released shortly.

If you missed the webinar, this is your opportunity to catch up.
If you attended, this is your opportunity to watch it again and revisit the discussions that matter to your work.

COMING SOON. ⚡🎥

1,400+ people have registered for tonight's SANS 10142-1 Edition 3.3 webinar. 📈

That's not a number we expected when registrations opened — and it tells us this amendment matters to a lot more of the industry than a routine update.

Tonight at 18h00, Carel joins Wynand Moller (TDMI Training & Nearbyelectrician) and Antony Schewitz (Electrical Contractors' Association - SA) to walk through what's changed—live—with Q&A.
To everyone who's already registered — we'll see you tonight. If you haven't yet, there's still time.

🙏 WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO PRAY — THANK GOD

Sometimes we reach a point where we simply run out of words.

We’ve prayed about the problem.
We’ve asked for direction.
We’ve asked for provision, strength, breakthrough and answers.

And when we don’t know what else to say, there is still one powerful prayer left:

“Thank You, Lord.” 🙌

It doesn’t matter what season you are in — there is always something to be thankful for.

☀️ Thank Him for another day.
👨‍👩‍👧 Thank Him for your family.
🛠️ Thank Him for the skills in your hands.
💼 Thank Him for the work you have.
🙏 Thank Him for the strength to keep going.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 reminds us:
"Give thanks in all circumstances..."

Thanksgiving does not mean everything is perfect. It means we choose to recognise that God is still present, still faithful and still working.

This week, before asking God for something, start by thanking Him for something.

Because when you’ve run out of words, you haven’t run out of prayer. ❤️

The response to our FREE SANS 10142-1 Ed. 3.3 Amendment Webinar has been incredible, with more than 700 people already registered for the evening! 👏🇿🇦

And that says something important: the industry wants clarity, practical interpretation and proper discussion around the changes introduced in SANS 10142-1 Ed. 3.3.

With 700+ registrations already, this is shaping up to be a fantastic industry evening.

📢 Share this with your colleagues, electricians, contractors, inspectors, solar installers and students.

Five organisations. Three presenters. One standard.
One evening focused on bringing clarity to SANS 10142-1 Ed. 3.3. ⚡

⚡ LEADERS DON’T FOLLOW — THEY SET THE STANDARD.

After 18 years in the Wireman’s Licence training environment, TDMI Training has learned one thing very clearly:

When you keep developing, innovating and pushing boundaries, others will eventually follow.

We have watched ideas, training methods and marketing approaches that TDMI introduced become increasingly common across the industry.

And that is okay.

Because TDMI’s focus has never been on watching what everyone else is doing.

Our focus is on what comes next.

💻 TDMI was among the early pioneers in taking Wireman’s Licence training into the online environment — at a time when online electrical training was far from the industry norm.

Today, online learning has become standard.

While the industry catches up with yesterday’s developments, TDMI continues investing in:

⚙️ New training technology
📚 Course development
🎥 Professional online learning material
📲 Student portals and digital support
🧪 Practical assessment systems
📑 Regulatory updates
🔧 Industry-relevant training
🚀 Better ways of preparing electricians for the real world

But there is another reason we are raising this topic.

🚨 CANDIDATES — DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU REGISTER.

Not every advertisement tells you the complete story.

Before paying any training provider, ask questions.

✅ Is the training provider legitimately registered or accredited for what they are offering?
✅ Who is the relevant accreditation or quality-assurance body?
✅ What exactly is included in the advertised price?
✅ Are assessments included?
✅ Are practical assignments or practical assessments required?
✅ Are moderation, certification or Statement of Results processes explained upfront?
✅ Are there additional fees later in the programme?
✅ Does completing the course actually satisfy the requirements for the registration you are pursuing?

Don't discover halfway through your journey that the "course" you registered for was only one part of a much bigger process.

A cheap registration can become very expensive when important requirements were never disclosed from the start.

🛡️ TEST YOUR TRAINING CENTRE.

Ask for proof.
Ask for registration details.
Ask for accreditation details.
Ask for the complete training pathway.
Ask what happens after the training.

A professional training provider should be able to explain the entire process clearly before accepting your money.

At TDMI, we believe candidates deserve transparency, structure and a clear pathway from registration to completion.

We will continue doing what we have done for 18 years:

Develop. Test. Improve. Lead.

Others may follow the road.

TDMI will keep building it. ⚡

⚡ MONDAY INSPIRATION | KEEP MOVING FORWARD ⚡

One of the most dangerous places to become comfortable is the place where you start thinking:
“I’ve arrived. I know enough.”

Whether you’re an apprentice, electrician, Registered Person, contractor or business owner — there is always another step forward. 👣⚡

📖 “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal…”
— Philippians 3:13–14
💡 Keep learning.
🔧 Keep improving.
📚 Keep developing your knowledge.
🤝 Keep helping others grow.
🙏 Keep growing in your relationship with God.
➡️ KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Progress doesn’t always have to be massive. Sometimes it is simply knowing a little more, doing something a little better, or becoming a little stronger than you were yesterday.

Never let yesterday’s success become today’s parking place.
You haven’t arrived yet — and that’s exciting, because God is still working and there is still more ahead of you. 🙏
