Edutel – helping to form South Africa’s future teachers
Edutel invites future teachers to complete their studies with their Higher Education Facility via distance learning.
Edutel, a local educational service provider situated on the corner of Ontdekkers Road and Crane Avenue – the old Absa building – proudly introduces their Higher Education Facilities which cater to high school graduates who want to pursue a diploma, or Bachelor’s Degree in Education, as well as teachers who want to further their studies by completing post-graduate degrees.
Edutel Higher Education is registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training as a private higher education institution under the Higher Education Act of 1997 and offers students the opportunity to study through distance learning. They are also accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE) and the South African Quality Assurance body (SAQA).
They offer the following courses in their Higher Education facilities:
• Diploma in Grade R Teaching
• Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching
• Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase Teaching
• Advanced Certificate in Foundation Phase Teaching
• Advanced Diploma in Education in School Leadership & Management
• Bachelor of Education Honours in Educational Leadership and Management
Through offering these courses, Edutel hopes to help shape the future of the educational sector through the expert training and guidance of its academic leaders and lecturers.
What started in a suburban garage nearly two and a half decades ago has flourished into a multi-faceted educational service provider that not only offers higher education certification, but wholesale, retail, management, and public services training as well.
Edutel started at its current location with only the top floor of the building at its disposal, and Absa bank at the bottom, but now they have reimagined the whole building into a fully facilitated higher education institute equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms and a library where students can research academic topics on site.
The building also houses the company’s printing facility, which provides textbooks and educational materials to each student, as well as the educators. Financial offices, data processing rooms, and marketing facilities are all centralised and located at their Roodepoort branch, as well as additional offices catering to the registrar, markers and lecturers visiting the building.
Edutel looks forward to giving interested graduates pursuing an education degree, the opportunity to hone their skills, and prepare them for their future in the industry.
