University of KwaZulu-Natal UKZN Extended learning
UKZN Extended Learning is committed to enrichment through lifelong learning, by providing high quality credit and non-credit bearing short courses and academic programmes in collaboration with the schools and colleges of the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Registration, Accreditation:
Registration of UKZN as a provider of education and training courses and programmes.
Only private providers of higher education have to formally apply for accreditation as providers. The University of KwaZulu-Natal is accredited as a university by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and is registered on the SAQA list of Public Higher Education Providers. None of the 25 public universities in South Africa receive/require provider accreditation/registration numbers from the Department of Education or from SAQA.
Accreditation of short courses accredited by the University of KwaZulu-Natal
SAQA stopped recording short courses in November 2001. In the case of public universities like UKZN, this responsibility now rests with the institution, provided that there is a quality assurance mechanism in place, controlled and managed by the University. All short courses offered by UKZN Extended Learning are accredited by the University itself, by means of its quality assurance systems and mechanisms that have been approved by the Council on Higher Education (CHE)/HEQC, complying with SAQA regulations.
B-BBEE Certified:
We at UKZN Extended Learning are proud to have been awarded Level 1 B-BBEE Status for our long-standing commitment to Black Economic Empowerment and transformation. We regard training and skills development not as an obligation but as an investment in our people, our community and ultimately in South Africa as a whole. View our Certificate:
