In accordance with regulations governing South African higher education, SAE Institute South Africa is required to name its 1-year qualifications Higher Certificates. These qualifications are identical to the Diploma qualifications offered at SAE Institutes worldwide.
Special note: if time or finance is a challenge, you are most welcome to enroll for individual Module/s (subjects) at a time, instead of the full-time study load. With this approach you can study towards your qualification as your time and finances allow. Please note: a student choosing this approach will need to select their study pathway in consultation with the Head of Academics.
