Our story
We’ve achieved a lot since 2007, and there’s more on the horison
Over the years we have built a strong reputation for academic excellence and purposeful education in the field of business studies. Learn more about our story and what we stand for.
iQ Academy was originally established in 2006 as a small department of Centurion Academy, with the purpose of improving student employability through business short courses. With the success of our students and a desire to offer more, we exited the Centurion Academy umbrella. In 2007 we merged with Fernwood Business College (Pty) Ltd and subsequently launched as a private tertiary institution called “iQ Academy (Pty) Ltd”.
