The Brag File

There is nothing better in business than having a satisfied customer. Be it one that has just completed their training or those still a little wet behind the ears that are equipping themselves for their future career path.

Most often people say that bragging is only for the selfish but in business if you don't do it yourself, who will?

Celesté Belelie and Ronell Burger are two star learners from the Professional Cookery Learnership currently running in Oudtshoorn. This photo was taken in the restaurant at African Sky Hotel while they served breakfast.


The next two learners are both from KwaZulu-Natal and did their training through one of Drum Beat's associates, Chris Lake.

On the left is Martinus Nel, showing off his Drum Beat Certificate, who to date is Chris Lake's most senior (oldest) tour guide candidate. Martinus, 73, is a very keen and enthusiastic guide and a mine of information about the Weenen District.

On the right is Allison Lettinga a go ahead farmer's wife from the district of Ixopo. She has worked out a unique tour programme of the Southern Drakensberg including some interesting birding and San/Bushmen Rock Art sites.

This group from Potgietersrus recently passed their First Aid Level 1 training course with flying colours! Their inquisitive minds were keen to learn and helped them apply their theoretical knowledge and practical exercise exactly where it counted during the assessments.

Congratulations and good luck!
