These courses are suitable for anyone, whether you want to upskill yourself in your current career, or if you're just starting out. Each entry will require students to complete an application form and a motivation.

Entrepreneurship
Financial Management
Taxation
Conference and Events Management
Marketing Management

All courses will begin on 6 October and run for 10 weeks, so applicants must be available to study during that time. These online courses require regular, active participation so applicants must have access to a computer and the internet. There are no entry requirements.

The bursary includes all study material and full access to an online classroom, which means you'll have access to video lectures, quizzes, discussions with your lecturer and peers as well as access to the student question and answer platform.

SACOB's principal, Stacey Henn said, "As an education institution we see first-hand the power of education in changing and improving peoples' lives. To celebrate the incredible, generous life of Nelson Mandela we want to pay it forward and provide this opportunity for learning and growth to 67 people who want to improve their lives. Hopefully this will inspire all our students to do what they can to make the world a better place."
