Requirements to register for the non-accredited SAGMA courses
Previously called “Grain Milling Federation (GMF)” Certificate of Completion
INTEGRATING THE GMF COURSE INTO THE SAGMA SYLLABUS
The Training Committee integrated the GMF course into the SAGMA syllabus because it is outdated. The following changes/alignments have been made to the SAGMA Non-Accredited course.
The new course structure has been implemented since 2021:
- GMF Maize/Wheat Module 1 would become SAGMA 1 & 2
- GMF Maize/Wheat Module 2 would become SAGMA 3
- GMF Maize/Wheat Module 3 would become SAGMA 4
- GMF Maize/Wheat Module 4 would become SAGMA 5
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Previous GMF students will be required to purchase the SAGMA study material at a nominal fee.
For example, a student studying for their Wheat 3 GMF course would have to purchase the SAGMA Wheat modules 1 & 2 and the SAGMA Wheat module 3 study material. Their study material will be included in their registration fee when registering for the SAGMA Wheat module 4.
Note: When a student registers for a module for the first time, the study material is automatically included in the registration fees
- For any Non-Accredited SAGMA/GMF student to convert to the accredited SAGMA course, they would have to complete SAGMA modules 6 and 7 & 8. They will also have to complete the SAGMA Logbook and Portfolio of Evidence, have been Trade Tested and complete the EISA exam.
