Stephanie du Plessis recently joined WearCheck’s Richards Bay team as a vibration analysis technician.

In 2016, Stephanie was the recipient of the Top Scholarship award, winning an international scholarship from Mobius.  Through this, Stephanie completed her CAT-1 course, and is now undergoing training for her CAT-11. 

This is the first time in history that international training institute Mobius has offered scholarships, and it came along just in time for Stephanie. She had borrowed the vibration analysis text book from a friend and was trying to teach herself while saving up to pay for the course. Stephanie applied for the Mobius bursary, which was offered to students around the world. Out of 330 global applications, Stephanie was selected. Not only that, she won the top award, which enabled her to attend an IMVAC (International Machine Vibration and Condition Monitoring Conference) in Dubai this year.

Says Stephanie, ‘I’m honoured to be making the most of this scholarship by working at WearCheck, which enables me to gain the practical experience required for certification.’
