For over 62 years, Damelin has been offering quality private education to people from all walks of life, and they’re still going strong.
Damelin is in the process of aligning its courses with the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), an entity of the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) whose primary objective is to make sure students graduate with the correct, all-important skills. From 2008, NQF compliance will be compulsory for all public and private Further Education and Training providers.
“Many of Damelin’s courses are complementary for students pursuing alternative programmes for example we’ve had a number of students studying for a degree with one of the larger institutions attend a skills specific short programme at Damelin,” says Taryn Haynes-Smart, sales manager for Damelin Cape Town. With a number of Damelin courses providing flexibility, they hold appeal for those who want to study part-time or on a modular basis allowing people the building blocks to make them more employable by upgrading their skills. With an NQF qualification, people obtain experiential learning components and leave Damelin with a portfolio of evidence which is an ongoing assessment of their study period.
Damelin is also a licensed support centre for institutions like UNISA and the IMM Graduate School of Marketing.
Damelin offers face-to-face tuition with small classes averaging 20 students, in full-time and part-time studies. Traditionally, Damelin is well-known for its commerce and business studies, but it also offers exciting subjects like conference and events, golf directorship and club management, multi media, fashion, interior design, sound engineer and journalism currently on a full-time basis.
Damelin realises the importance of choosing the right study path early on. For this reason, it also offers a free career assessment to school leavers as well as adult learners designed to help you to choose the right career and also suggest a study path that will ensure your success. Following a career recommended for you personality type means that your chances of job satisfaction later on in life are far greater.
