Tertiary Education: Peninsula Technikon Degree completed: Bachelor Degree in Technology: Chemical engineering (January 2001 - December 2001) Major subjects: Chemical Engineering Technology IV, Design Project IV, Reactor Technology, Production Engineering, Process control IV, Experimental Project
i have done B-Tech in Chmical Enginnering and I am currently doing my MBA (Master in Business Administration). I have just registred B-Tech in Environmental Engineering and I have got five subjects of ten subjects. I will be completing it at the end of next year. I am majoring with water treatment of which is the same project I am doing with my Master in Business administration.
B-Tech degree project: Evaluating which open channel flow best influences the transport of sediments. This was carried-out by reproducing data velocity and turbulent measurement on the clear water flow, surface roughness and particle roughness. I developed a database velocity measurement to simulate behaviour of sediments. Diploma completed: Chemical Engineering (1997-1999) Major subjects: Chemical Engineering Technology, Design Principles, Thermodynamics: Chemical engineering, Chemical plant, Process control and Chemical process Industries.
2. Certificate in Music (1999) Subjects completed: General Science (pass with distinction) Mathematics (pass with distinction) Cognitive and Communication skills
Current Studies: MBA (Regent Business School, 2009-current)
