Letaba Management Services cc (LMS) was established in 2008
to provide mentoring and technical training to Engineers in the Civil Engineering Industry. Our personnel are
Professional Engineers with backgrounds in contracting, consulting, technical training, as well as mentoring.
Our training courses are designed for formally
qualified engineers or QBE individuals. Each course is one full day, but
can be modified to suit a Client s needs. Each course offers 1 CPD
point.
New course material can also be developed at the
request of a Client if the demand for a particular topic can be
substantiated.
In brief, we offer the following courses in the
near future in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Port
Elizabeth.
All courses are presented by Bruce Raath (Pr Eng).
