Nothing ever got in the way of Peter, and Isolde has continued in the very same way. Everything that OTTC has achieved and the many students trained have been done with very little government aid, but with strong industry sponsors.” “At OTTC, there has never been any compromise on the standard of training, and the new CO 2 plant is another step towards excellence in training in refrigeration and air conditioning. OTTC is more than a training centre; it is an institution and a focal point of refrigeration in South Africa. May Isolde be granted many more years of good health to continue with all the good work done at OTTC,” Ackermann concluded. CLA 9.
