We are a registered professional consultancy working with public
sector organisation/s, and in particular parastatals, government
departments and municipalities. The main focus of the
organisation’s activity is planning and training. Pravin Amar
provides a consultancy service that assists in various forms of
planning, but in particular development planning and local
economic development. The services we provide extend from advice
and technical assistance through to full-scale project
management of particular projects.
In recent years the demand for training in the areas of
project management and contract management have led Pravin Amar
to expand our services from development consultancy to the field
of education and training. The programmes have proved to be
addressing a critical need and are extremely popular. In fact
there is now a need for us to provide train the trainers
programmes, so that municipalities can train their staff and
management in project and contract management.
