KZN Language Institute

The KZN Language Institute is a small and professional institute with a long history. For thirteen years it operated out of University of KwaZulu-Natal and is now an expanding independent organisation. We offer programmes in English as well as various other languages for students, for working people and for travellers.

Here in Pietermaritzburg you can learn English, or our local isiZulu, or a range of other languages spoken in Africa and abroad.If you are a student, we will give you academic support or preparation for entrance into any higher education institution.

If you are in the working world we will give you expertise in business skills and the use of English in the work place. If you plan to travel – for work or for leisure purposes – we can help you develop some communicative skills in the language you need.

We are situated in the city of Pietermaritzburg, in KwaZulu-Natal, in South Africa. This medium-sized city nestles halfway between the mountains of Drakensberg and the coastal city of Durban on the Indian Ocean.

It has a reputation for its educational status with high quality schools, universities and other institutions. Because it is small and quiet, it is possible for students to focus on their studies and is an ideal city for someone arriving from another country to learn about life in South Africa.
