Johannesburg and Cape Town have always been the main spots in ZA for maxx training -time for KZN to catch up now! Thanks to our new partner Andre Kauerauf from Real Solutions, we will be able to offer training also in the Eastern part of South Africa.

The first course will be a Sunrise Intermediate course, our 2-day beginners course. Solar companies, architecture firms, IT sales and networking companies and electricians are all welcome to send their staff for training.

At the venue, Andre has a Tesla Powerwall installed being one of the cutting edge technologies implemented for showcase. His Powerwall system is the first in the KZN midlands and available for participants to have a close look at this technology.

The training takes place in Fort Nottingham, quite a few miles outside of Pietermaritzburg. Some might wonder why we didn’t chose Durban but we guarantee you, once you have been at Bramleigh Manor, you will never want to have training in a loud and crowded city again!

The rural location of the academy offers high-tech infrastructure, peaceful and beautiful surroundings which is great for focus and concentration away from busy life.We aim to make Bramleigh Manor the leading innovation space in KZN Midlands for energy, education, food and water. The sustainable working farm at the venue and the availability of accommodation right at the venue and neighboring B&B’s offer great opportunities.
