How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

01

Pick your programme and the January intake

Choose any accredited qualification or bootcamp and select the 25 January 2027 start date when you apply. The application takes about four minutes.

02

Pay R 8 000 by 31 December 2026

Your deposit locks in the 30% price and reserves your seat. It counts toward your fee — it is not an extra charge on top.

03

Start paying when you start learning

Settle the balance upfront before 25 January 2027, or in monthly instalments that begin in January 2027. Nothing more is due before then.

What you'll pay

Every programme, 30% lighter in January.

The January intake price for each programme, what you save, and what remains after your R 8 000 deposit.
