Welcome to the HDLC
The problem was
obvious in 2004.
Staff who both
deserved and required training to establish and maintain a
culture of safe and secure operations were simply not able
to gain access to such learning.
Many of these
staff were at the "coal face" of operations which heightened
their exposure to risk, a situation which is totally
unacceptable.
The training
sector had become stale, lacking creative strategies and
indeed motivation to develop mechanisms to address learning
accessibility, creativity and affordability.
The HDLC was
established to specifically address this situation, to
provide learning opportunities to those who have
historically missed out because of socio-economic, travel
and location limitations.
One recent
HDLC student writes;
"I had no options, the course fees with other companies
are hundreds of dollars, sometimes over a thousand, even if
I had the money, I would also have to buy a plane ticket and
accommodation which is even harder.
Even if I could do all of that, because of where I live,
it is difficult if not impossible to gain a visa for most of
the locations training is conducted, and I am lucky because
I actually have a passport unlike most of my friends.
Your training and your motivations for people like me has
given me an opportunity I just didn't have until
now........thankyou" RB Uganda
