KERSL Automation offers training programs that can be specifically tailored to meet the client’s needs.
Courses are typically 60% Practical and 40% Theory. This ensures that the student is fully equipped with all the requisite hands-on knowledge, while still acquiring the right theoretical background to make the practical work “make sense.”
In our training courses, one credit value is equivalent to 30 notional hours. Notional hours are the estimated learning time taken by the 'average' student to achieve the specified learning outcomes of a course unit. The credit values specified can easily be converted to notional hours. For all practical purposes one notional hour of study may be taken simply as equivalent to one hour of study. Therefore, 1 credit value is equivalent to 30 hours of study or 1 week of “full time” study.
KERSL Automation runs three (4) types of training programs:
- Training Workshops
-
1-2 days designed to “top-up” knowledge gaps for technicians in specific focus areas.

KERSL Automation will be offering online courses beginning 2026. As an avid advocate of the use of AI to support Africa’s development wherever possible, KERSL Automation has developed an “AI Culture,” in which AI is already routinely used to support its agri-machine design efforts (e.g., for machine design optimization for low-cost production). With regard to its automation training focus area, KERSL Automation will introduce, in 2026, AI tools such as digital twins and AI-driven simulators in its virtual learning platforms.
