Short Course & Specialist Providers in Gauteng

example, has a student support office in Parktown, Johannesburg, and teaches short learning programmes by distance learning.

Gauteng is also close to head offices, government departments and industry, so a short course can quickly connect to a job or promotion. Whether you want to upskill in business, technology, hospitality or a specialist field, you can often find a provider that suits your timetable, with classroom, online or blended options.

Not every short course is a registered qualification. Some give a certificate of completion only, and that can still be useful if an employer values it. If a provider says its course is accredited, ask by whom: a university, a SETA, the QCTO or an international body. Check any claimed NQF qualification on the SAQA register, and check that a provider offering qualifications as a private college is on the current DHET register. Be wary of diplomas or degrees promised in a very short time.

You do not have to stay in Gauteng to benefit from this page. Online providers such as GetSmarter and The Wine Centre offer courses you can take from anywhere. NSFAS does not fund private providers, so look into payment plans, employer sponsorship and bursaries, and check data costs if you study on mobile.
