Testimonials

Clinton Girdharilall - 9 years of service

Passion, determination, hard work and ambition are definitely things that go a long way at MANCOSA. Words fail to express the immense pride I feel to be associated with this brand.

A brand that has grown in great measures and has in turn impacted on my growth in many ways. From a casual worker to now a manager, traveling to countries I never imagined and on to my second qualification funded by this great institution, the possibilities are endless.

It is encouraging to be a part of an organisation that invests so much in their employees. I am a true testament to MANCOSA’s tagline "Dream it, we'll take you there".

Duncan Park - 8 years of service

Having spent eight years working in the private education sector prior to joining MANCOSA, I can confidently say that my two years with the institution are the highlight of my career thus far. This is a company where values inform action, and the commitment to student success, academic excellence and staff development is underpinned by robust planning and tangible accomplishments, rather than mere sloganeering.

The remarkable impact I have witnessed of MANCOSA on peoples’ lives is truly astounding. I have seen staff flourish and grow within MANCOSA’s development programmes, harnessing opportunities to progress from administrators to managers, whilst achieving personal goals such as furthering their studies and expanding their skill sets. I have seen students uplift themselves through the value proposition and support offered by MANCOSA; studying whilst working full time jobs, progressing from security guards and janitorial contractors, to entrepreneurs, IT technicians and accountants. This ongoing dedication and commitment to the meaningful upliftment of staff and students is what sets MANCOSA apart as an education institution and an employer.

In my brief time at MANCOSA I have been afforded the opportunity to grow and contribute to departments, projects and initiatives well beyond the confines of my comfort zone and experience. These opportunities and contributions culminated in my progression from a managerial role, to that of an associate director. This is a company where you are truly afforded the opportunity to achieve your dreams.

Bongiwe Ngongoma - 3 years of service

I am honoured to be the Receptionist of such an innovative and cultured tertiary institution such as MANCOSA. MANCOSA is diverse and offers great job experience and opportunities.

MANCOSA offers constant training tools/resources to ensure their employees are best equipped with knowledge not only to assist students but also for their own personal growth.

MANCOSA is accessible and values their employees. The best part of my job is being able to interact with people from different backgrounds and cultures which teaches me how to stay resilient and centred at my job.

Dr Claudine Hingston - 4 years of service

I hold two portfolios at MANCOSA, that of an academic and the head of MANCOSA’s Centre for Women Leadership. I have developed a lot of new skills at MANCOSA and have also grown in my career. MANCOSA offers ongoing quality training to its staff and this has helped in developing the professionalism and competency of every staff in their line of work. Moreover, MANCOSA embraces diversity, which is exhibited in MANCOSA’s diverse workforce.

MANCOSA is also committed to gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace. MANCOSA’s commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment is evident in the high number of women in leadership positions, as well as the establishment of a centre that promotes women leadership. MANCOSA upholds excellence and goes the extra mile in ensuring that all staff are given the relevant tools to execute their work efficiently. On a final note, MANCOSA’s ultra-modern building provides the perfect office space for its employees.

MANCOSA – An organisation that strives for innovation in empowerment.

A reputable leader in the private higher education sector that believes in lifelong learning, adaptability, creativity and a fantastic culture inclusive of all. Continuously providing students with quality comprehensive support to achieve their dreams through affordable education.

Wafiqah Amardien – 8 Years of services

Since being at MANCOSA I’ve not only seen where MANCOSA use to be but I’m still experiencing where MANCOSA is going and to be part of that journey has been an amazing experience. I started as the receptionist, few months later I moved into an administrator role, 2-3 years later I became a team leader of the assessment division at the Cape Town office and finally moved into a managerial position. Working at MANCOSA I’ve learned to be more versatile and being able to adapt to any task handed to me, by doing this you need to have that I can do attitude and believe in yourself.

MANCOSA always strives to find new innovative ways to be more accessible to students by not only investing in improving its infrastructure or the manner in which we assist students but also how the institution shows appreciation to staff through growth and development. I’ve not only been given the opportunity to travel internationally but I’ve also been on many development programmes which I’m truly grateful for.

Brief History

MANCOSA is a private higher education institution registered in terms of the Higher Education Act (Act 101 of 1997 as amended). It was established in 1995 as a post-apartheid empowerment institution offering affordable and accessible management education primarily to persons previously denied access to postgraduate education.

During the past 25 years, MANCOSA has developed a large footprint across the Southern African Development Community and has accumulated extensive experience in meeting the educational needs of a wide range of students through the delivery of high-quality programmes through traditional distance learning.

Notwithstanding the many successes over the last two decades MANCOSA has been mindful of the various trends in higher education namely, the changing landscape of education, the way education is designed and presented, the way learning takes place, the role of the employer in signalling skills and attributes required for a changing world of work, the way education is quality managed, the impact of emerging and cost effective technology on education and the increasing discernment of students.

As an institution which constantly seeks to improve its education offering and to remain relevant MANCOSA has arranged meetings, brainstorming sessions, and focus groups with multiple stakeholders to examine its education impact, its teaching, learning and assessment strategy, feedback from students and evaluation of their experience, and a review of its operations.
