Many of our students start a course unsure where it will lead. Thandeka Mkhize in Admissions hears the same question every week: will this help me find work?
A good qualification gives you skills an employer can see. Pick one clear goal, like a job in a kitchen or a web team, and choose your course around it.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson MandelaTake it one module at a time. Ask questions early and keep your notes in one place. Small steps add up.
How to build stronger study skills
Set aside the same hours each week and protect them. Read your notes the same evening, write down questions for your lecturer, and test yourself before an assessment. Short, regular sessions work better than one long night before the deadline.
Why skills training pays off
Employers in Durban want people who can do the job from week one. Practical training gives you proof of what you can do, a certificate to show it, and the confidence to apply for work or start your own small business.

Helpful and easy to follow. I shared this with a friend who is deciding on a diploma. A good resource for anyone planning their studies.
