How high can I go?
Centurion Systems Limited’s training programmes are structured into three distinct qualification levels, each corresponding to specific “job profiles”.

With our clearly defined, industry-focused job profiles, Centurion Systems certifications help you transition into a variety of production, technician and engineering jobs in high-tech and advanced manufacturing industries. The three levels are:
Level 1: Systems Assistant
This level focuses on efficiently operating complex mechatronic systems, troubleshooting and anticipating problems.
Level 2: Systems Associate
The focus in this level is on systems management, investigation, repair and troubleshooting.
Level 3: Systems Professional

7. Competition and Globalisation
In today’s global business environment, competition is a key factor, and Kenya’s market is no exception. Organisations in Kenya face challenges from competitors in South East Asia, South Africa and emerging markets, who are offering competitive advantages in our business sector. Manufacturing and service organisations in Kenya face challenges posed by globalisation, energy, environmental and safety issues, which reduce profit margins. Globalisation necessitates higher automation levels for improved and quality production systems, without the need to downsize. Most organisations embrace energy efficiency models in all aspects of their businesses, including product design and production, to cut production costs. Furthermore, environmental concerns extend beyond the scope of corporate social responsibility, and current shifts in global environmental standards have a direct impact on substandard products, production processes and systems.
