We are in constant communication with different types of employers working in large companies or small organisations. Despite the massive differences in size and activities of their organisations, employers throughout South Africa all have two things in common: • They experience ever-increasing scarcity of educated people in all areas of management. • They select, employ and promote people with initiative and determination. Since 1906, over one million students in South Africa have used their initiative and determination to improve their career prospects by studying with INTEC College. INTEC Business School courses are produced by subject matter experts in close collaboration with College staff. The outstanding achievements of our students are evidence of the excellence of our tuition. By taking the initiative to request this brochure, you have shown that you have the ambition to succeed. Now, have the determination to enrol. Whatever course you select, you will be provided with the best tuition available and you will also be given all the support you need to achieve your goals. Programme Type INTEC offers three types of programmes, namely National Qualifications, Provider Programmes, and Agent Programmes: National Qualifications are credit bearing qualifications registered on the NQF and accredited by a Quality Assurance Body.
