Richfield Certified with International Quality Standards

Richfield Certified with International Quality Standards

Date: 2016-12-09
Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology (Pty) Ltd is proud to announce that its quality assurance accomplishments have been beefed up by becoming the first educational Institution on a global scale to be certified against the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard by the accredited agency known as IMS International. In addition, Richfield was also awarded the OHSAS 18001: 2007 health and safety standard certification by the same agency.

The Award was presented by Rhenee Singh who is the Managing Director of IMS Certification, Africa to the senior leadership of Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology at a media briefing held at the Holiday Inn's Garden Court Hotel on the 1st December 2016. The aim of ISO 9001 is to ensure consistent quality of services or products and to enhance customer satisfaction.

Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology, formerly known as PC Training and Business College, commenced operations in 1990. Richfield made the decision in 2015 to change the name of the Institute and do a complete rebranding. This rebranding saw better programme structures, a new Senate and Faculties that are in line with those adopted by Universities around the world - allowing Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology to compete on equal footing with various other Universities around South Africa.

Jay Ramnundlall, CEO of Richfield, indicated that the organization has grown from strength to strength and this can be attributed to the dedication and hard work of staff around the country.

"Richfield is South Africa's most affordable Higher Education Institution and has been operating successfully for the past 27 years, with 33 Higher Education campuses and 40 TVET campuses open nationally. The Institution has earned a place in the hearts of over 280 000 graduates who have successfully completed a range of qualifications, providing a critical service to those seeking a brighter future, by educating themselves for the world of work." says Ramnundlall.

"We live in times of exponential change," says Ramnundlall, "so it is critical that we equip the next generation of learners in a cutting edge environment in order be competitive on a global scale." Ramnundlall goes on to quote the words of Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
