Study a Short Course in South Africa? | Country info 2023

Education degrees prepare professionals for the art of teaching and training. Future educators develop efficient teaching methods, that can be applied in a formal classroom setting (kinder garden, school, high-school, university). Education studies, offered by universities and colleges worldwide, are closely connected with Pedagogy, preparing the next generation of professors and teachers.

Do you want something a little different from the standard degree program?

Maybe you need practical skills or professional contacts more than an educational credential. Perhaps you would prefer a “real world” experience that allows you to travel or work outside of a university environment. Or maybe you are interested in academic study but are unsure about your English fluency, or about the time and financial commitment that a degree program requires.

Training to Build Professional Skills

Many short-term educational programs are offered all across the SA that are not intended to result in a degree. Rather, they are designed to build and update practical, professional skills. Short Courses to meet a variety of career needs are offered by various schools, university departments, businesses, government agencies, associations, and private organizations specializing in providing short-term training.

These programs provide instruction in the terminology of a specific field, such as law or engineering.

Training suitable for international participants can also be found in hundreds of professional fields, from export management to epidemiology to graphic design. Program length may vary from a day to a year, with most training lasting between one and six weeks. To find programs, check with your local advising center, SA associations in your professional field, and universities that have research facilities or degree programs in the area.
