Why Learn From Me?

My name is Jeff Sharman and I have worked in Instrumentation and Control Systems for over 20 years, training technicians and engineers in countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Eritrea, Nigeria, the Middle East and parts of Europe. Many companies have brought me in to train their staff, including major plants within the Sasol group and various mining and manufacturing operations. I have also worked on real automation projects in Eritrea and Nigeria. These experiences allow me to teach in a practical, straightforward way and to show you how these systems work in the field.

Portrait of Jeff Sharman on blue background with speech bubble that says "Hello, I am Jeff Sharman, Your Training Consultant" with 20 years of experience in instrumentation and control systems.

”When you spend time on site with the actual equipment in front of you, you learn very quickly what works and what doesn’t. So when I teach you, I explain things the way I have used them myself in real situations, not just from a manual.”
