Profile Information
- Tell us about what you do
- I was born in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. Following my Primary Education I entered a religious order to complete my Intermediate and Leaving Certificates while at the same time training to be a teacher.
My studies included Child Psychology, Philosophy, Theology and Teaching Methods under the guidance of a Master Educator.
In 1978 I got married and immigrated to South Africa where I have lived ever since. I spent the greater part of my career in the life assurance industry until my retrenchment in 1998.
I have a small training and consultancy business called "AMSI and Associates cc" specialising in ODETDP, Management/Supervisory/Disciplinary interventions as well as training for skills development and EE committee members .
I am qualified and registered as an SDF, Assessor, Moderator, Facilitator, Course Developer and Verifier with various SETAS.
I write on a variety of issues and have developed self study and training manuals on topics such as HIV/AIDS, Corporate Governance, Ethics, Management and supervisory related issues.
I am a member of the Ethics Institute of SA (MS 499/2010) and an ‘Affiliate’ Member of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI)

An excellent contribution Des, I like the following words: a voluntary association - for good - in a democracy. It occurs to me that our Constitution is also a source for referral. My understanding of what is intended under our Constitution is that we have a "democratic and open society". (Preamble) and see also s18 freedom of association. Then look at the structures under the Skills Development Act: e.g. the National Skills Authority - s6(3)(c), which are seen as civic organisations. So interesting in terms of whether civil society is "political". I would say we are not political but do have "development" interests.

we can go on and on but we wont change the way how they apply the SETAs, l think as private institutions we need to send a strong statement to the government as to speed-up the process, above all l think it is unfair what our SETAs do
