Security and safety are very important factors in any business.

HJN Training is a tertiary training company that trains people in security and safety in the private sector.

The company was founded by Hennie van Rooyen who served for many years in the police service.

“We have been in business for 22 years,” says Juandré Michau, Director of HJN Training.

“Our training programmes are uniquely formulated and compiled from more than 80 years of cumulative hands-on investigative experience in the criminal investigation and security training environments, all accredited by the Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority (SASSETA). .”

HJN Training, with Head Quarters in Centurion and branches located in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Polokwane, and Vereeniging and is an organisation dedicated to the training of police, private and public sectors in their fight against crime and corruption.

HJN Training already presented training to more than 60 000 employees from more than 200 companies in South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Botswana.

They also sell forge protectors. “The forge detector is an exciting new product that is designed and patented by HJN Training to assist in the identification of forged documents, using ultra-violet light and X-Ray back-lighting features,” says Juandré.

They believe training is more that the transfer of knowledge. “Training is a life-changing experience. Our most popular programme is the policing one,” says Juandré.

HJN does not specialise in farm attacks but they offer a close protection programme that will equip a farmer with the necessary skills to defend himself in a farm attack.

Juandré gives a few tips on how to stay safe on farms:

  • Use security equipment to your advantage to buy you time in the run-up to a farm attack. Make sure alarms, infrared rays and electric fencing are always active.
  • Know your neighbours and area to contact them in a dangerous situation.
  • Go for training in self-defence or close protection to know what to do in a dangerous situation and to think clearly.
  • You must always be on the lookout for anything strange on your farm.
  • Do not leave your house under any circumstances at night to investigate sounds, alarms or anything else. Thieves think of anything to lure farmers out of their houses to attack them.
