Serious about You.
MESSAGE FROM THE
Education continues to be the single most important key to unlocking boundless opportunities, even more so during and post the Covid-19 global
pandemic. In a world that is changing as rapidly as ours is, education that is flexible, adaptable and responsive will mean all the difference to
successfully navigating the world of work. And so, with each graduation, we remain confident that South Africa is becoming a better place for all. We
applaud the sacrifice of our students, their families and the communities which formed them. And, together we step into a brighter tomorrow, today!

Education is the one investment that supersedes all others (cnbc.com, 2017). Billionaire investor Warren Buffet, an American business magnate,
philanthropist and one of the most successful investors of all time, says the very best investment you can make is one “you cannot beat”, cannot be
taxed on and not even inflation can take away from you. “Ultimately, there is one investment that supersedes all others: Invest in yourself. Nobody
can take away what you have got in yourself, and everybody has potential they have not used yet”. You can exponentially increase your potential by
“enhancing your talents”. Realising your potential is something that will help you have a more interesting life, and there is no better time to work on
that than today. “Do it now. Whatever you want to learn more about, start doing it today. Do not put if off. You will have a more rewarding life not only
in terms of earnings, but how much fun you have out of life. So go to it, invest in yourself.
(Dr. HJ Botha)

 HIGHER EDUCATION:
UNDERGRADUATE &
POSTGRADUATE
Higher Education Programmes (at both undergraduate and
postgraduate levels) lead to academic awards registered on the
Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework (HEQSF) of the
National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

Higher education qualifications provide a programmatic focus

that points towards a career field, not a specific job function.
These programmes build a flexible and adaptable knowledge
base located in higher order knowing and doing that can be
applied in many professional, academic and workplace contexts.

A higher education skills-set assists with creating rewarding

careers while being able to deal with a variety of other real-life
situations such as the abilities to solve super complex problems,
to articulate crisply and to communicate effectively in a range
of contexts. “Higher education is more than a stepping stone to a
career. It is about learning how to develop a better you!”

Boston’s ever expanding range of higher education programmes

support a wide range of desirable skills and vocations which
are in high demand. The Department of Higher Education and
Training (DHET) states that occupations are classified in high
demand if: they indicate relatively strong employment or wage
growth over the past five years; are expected to show relatively
strong employment growth in the future; have been identified
as being in shortage in the labour market; are new, and are
expected to emerge in the near future as a result of innovation,
technological advancements, the development of new industries,
or the implementation of government strategic priorities.

Many people are looking for specific and limited training
to fulfil a need in their existing or future workplace or as a
particular subject of interest.

Choose options under Digital Learning which is “learning

facilitated by technology that provides students some element
of control over time, place, path and pace.” The Internet and a
proliferation of Internet access devices provide students the
ability to access learning anytime anywhere. Learning is no
longer restricted to the traditional ‘school day’, within the walls
of a classroom, to the usual teaching approaches of contact
learning, or to the pace of an entire classroom of students.*

Or, complete a financial training short course or simply register

College together with The Money School to provide all South Africans with a financial
advantage for life.

The course is for everybody – whether you’re a student who has never worked before or
whether you’ve been earning money for a long time. Up until now, most working adults
have been denied this type of education and spend most of their income trying to keep up
with their debt repayment mistakes they made earlier on in life. This is a proven recipe for
disaster and is the reason we are so proud to offer you this opportunity to equip yourself
with this vital short course in money matters.
