Deborah (Debbie) Becker, Operations Director, DQS MSS (Pty) Ltd shared her excitement about the partnership:
"This partnership with PECB is an exciting step forward for DQS Academy. It means we can continue delivering our exceptional training to businesses and professionals across Sub-Saharan Africa, with the added support of PECB’s developed platforms and available trainers. This will help us meet our delegates’ needs more effectively, quickly, and cost-efficiently, enabling them to stay competitive as the regulatory landscape continues to shift around us.
Our main goal is to ensure we offer the training solutions organisations need — firstly, to easily gain the skills and certifications required for growth; secondly, in a way that suits our customers, whether that’s online, classroom, or hybrid training options. We’re here to support our clients as much as we can, whenever we can, whether they’re focusing on understanding the basics to stay compliant, strengthening their auditing credibility, or driving lead audits to prepare for certification.
DQS Academy is all about putting our customers first; it’s one of our primary core values, along with acting with integrity and taking responsibility for the impact we create. This collaboration with PECB combines their global expertise with our local knowledge, allowing us to offer even more relevant and high-quality training. We’re excited about the opportunities this opens up for businesses in Southern Africa and beyond.”
