During uncertain times it can be beneficial to focus on positive interventions and we think planning for your future is one of them. Studying an Online Short Course is the perfect way to make your spare time work for you!
Special note: In order to continue supporting you, we’re happy to announce that we are operational during lockdown. Our student advisors are here to assist you during the enrolment process so you can take the next step toward your goals.
Develop in-demand skills
Our online Short Courses are designed for the South African market to help you develop in-demand skills that you can demonstrate. When you are relying on experience alone, you often learn by making mistakes. And in business, mistakes can be extremely costly, so it’s important that you invest in developing your skills and staying up-to-date in industry trends.
“Experience is a hard teacher, because she gives the test first and the lesson after.”
