Cementation Africa Training Academy (CATA)
Cementation Africa is home to the continent’s only dedicated, underground accredited mining training academy, purpose-built to develop the skills and safety mindset needed for high-performance underground operations.
Company Profile
Our academy empowers individuals through simulation-based, competency-driven training across all mining disciplines – from shaft sinking and mechanised mining to rigging, maintenance, leadership, soft skills development, safety awareness, rescue protocols, and many more exceptional offerings. Every programme is aligned with site-specific needs and regulations, ensuring that what is learned in the classroom translates seamlessly to the field.
We use a blended learning model that includes virtual reality (VR), immersive simulations, online modules and instructor-led training, providing a realistic and engaging environment to build both technical proficiency and critical decision-making skills. Our fully equipped underground mock-up allows new operators to build confidence in a realistic yet controlled setting, easing the stress of confined-space work before they are deployed to site.
Built for competence. Focused on Zero Harm. Cementation Africa’s Training Academy is shaping the future of underground mining – one skilled individual at a time.
