Advanced Diploma in Education (Adv Dip Ed)

???????????????????General information about ADEs

? The Advanced Diploma in Education (ADE) is a NQF level 7 qualification designed and developed to fulfil a recognized need of providing a well-rounded, broad education that equips in-service teachers with the subject content knowledge base, pedagogical theory and methodology that will enable them to demonstrate competence and responsibility as academics and professionals. Please note that ADE courses can only be offered once 25 or more students enroll. ?

?SUNCEP enters into contractual agreement(s) with funders, e.g. Education Department(s), corporates, etc. on an annual basis. These courses are thus presented to cohorts of students, as identified by the funder.

SUNCEP DOES NOT ACCEPT INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS.

Please contact your education department to find out if they are offering/funding any of these courses in 2021.
