Optimi College, College SA

College SA is accredited by a number of regulatory bodies. What does this mean? It means that when you study an accredited course with us, you will receive a highly-recognised qualification that can boost your career prospects.

We are accredited and registered with the following bodies:

• Umalusi – National Certificates in Engineering Studies N1 – N3
• ICB – National Qualifications (NQF Level 4-6)
• SABPP – National Diploma in Human Resource Management and Practices (NQF Level 5)

We are also provisionally registered as a Private Further Education and Training institution with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and affiliated to the Association of Private Providers of Education Training and Development (APPETD).

We offer a wide variety of accredited and provider courses. Our accredited courses include bookkeeping and accounting, business and management, computer and technical courses.

Why study an accredited course?

• Recognised qualifications
• Higher earning potential
• Higher demand for professional qualified individuals
• You could get an exemption with other institutions

Our non-accredited courses, also known as provider programmes, include business and management, beauty therapy, child
day care, computers, graphic design, events management, hospitality and tourism, interior design, occupational health and
safety, and secretarial courses.

When you study with College SA, there is no need for attending face-to-face classes since you choose to study when you want, where you want, as often as you want.

This is called distance learning or home study! Why? Because you study from the luxury of your own home/couch. You see, we deliver your study material to your door and you can start studying immediately. If you think about it, a regular college also expects you to do a lot of your studies at home, so besides the fact that we do not offer face-to-face classes, the study process is very similar.

And, guess what? It’s works out much cheaper than a regular college! You never have to travel to classes, and your study material and textbooks are included in the course fee, so you don’t have extra costs.

As a College SA distance learning student, we give you the proper support to pass. We have educational planners that guide you from the day you register until you graduate, and have implemented online discussion forums that allow you to connect with your tutor and fellow students.

You can discuss your assignments with other students and submit assignments online. Why? So you won’t feel like you are missing out on the ‘study experience’.

There is really no need to attend classes when you can do everything at home!

Still a little unsure? If you want to know more about distance learning, read on; we’ve explained exactly what it means to be a distance learning student, and the ways we offer you support without ever seeing you in person.
