Tailored Programme Development

Technisa’s educational offerings are finely tuned to industry demands, with course development occurring in strategic partnership with sector-specific stakeholders. Historically, this process has been in collaboration with industry training boards, but the evolution of the national education structure now sees the involvement of Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) among other NQF-aligned bodies. At the core of the course creation process is the Business Development Unit of Technisa. This unit embarks on a twin-track approach of industry consultation and comprehensive market research. Critical financial considerations, such as the costs associated with developing new course materials, engaging instructional experts, and overall course administration, are rigorously evaluated to assess the sustainability of new programs. Industry collaboration may sometimes offset these costs, although such arrangements are evaluated individually. There are occasions when fiscal projections misalign, as was the case with the funeral directing course, where student enrollment did not reach levels required to justify the initial outlay.

Innovative Delivery Strategies

Technisa is evolving its educational delivery through a dual-method approach. This combines the institution’s established distance learning model with the integration of regional distance education centres, which offer students the advantage of direct interaction and face-to-face instruction.

Additionally, Technisa orchestrates a series of structured, applied learnerships. Within these programs, the college imparts theoretical knowledge, while partnering organizations provide the practical settings and oversight essential for hands-on training. Students engaged in this integrated learning pathway are dually registered with Technisa for academic components and with a designated learnership center for practical experience, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience.
