The Wholesale and Retail Leadership Academy at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in Cape<br />
Town offers 4 short courses on a block release basis:<br />

The programme is designed to have very little influence on the operations of your business because it uses a<br />
blended mode of learning which entails:<br />
• Block release classes are offered at CPUT's Cape Town campus during the off-peak periods of your<br />
business, namely mid-month and mid-week. Learners do one certificate at a time, attending two<br />
consecutive days once a month for 6 months for each certificate.<br />
• Lectures are complemented by self-study using hardcopy and electronic notes. All learning materials are<br />
provided to students in hard copy, electronic format as well as on the Academy’s learning management<br />
system accessed via the Internet.<br />
• Lecturers are available for consultation via e-mail between the block periods.<br />
Applicants must have a National Senior Certificate (NSC), N3 certificate (NCV) or equivalent. Completion<br />
of these short courses will enable the student to apply for exemption from the applicable Retail Business<br />
Management Diploma subjects at CPUT and recognition is also possible on future QCTO qualifications. The<br />
total fee for each certificate is R12 500 (including lunch and materials). Bursaries may be applied for from the<br />
W&RSETA.<br />
If you want to enrol yourself or one of your staff, or want any further information, please contact Andiswa Mrasi<br />
(the Academy Manager) or Robyn Majiet (Admin Assistant).
