Welcome to Stellenbosch University

Accredited short courses

​​​​​​​​​​​General information about short courses

In addition to the full ADE full qualification offered by Stellenbosch University, SUNCEP offers accredited short courses. These are often the content modules from the different ADE qualification and are therefore aligned with the full ADE programmes/qualifications, via the universities ARPL policy.  However, please note that short courses on offer do not always have to be aligned to the full ADE qualification. SUNCEP has the capability to design courses based on the need of  client(s). In these cases the credits reared might not be ARPL to a full qualification. All short courses are, however, CAPS aligned and are all accredited.
