SANTS Private Higher Education Institution

SANTS Private Higher Education Institution was established in 1997 as a private national education and training provider. Over the past 23 years, SANTS has presented various programmes and qualifications to more than 30 000 educators in the education sector.

SANTS began its operations as a relatively small-scale organisation, offering expertise to the newly reorganised provincial education departments. Over the next few years, we presented several in-service training programmes in collaboration with these departments. By 2001, with an impressive track record and increasing demand for our services, SANTS was able to grow and diversify as a Further Education and Training service provider, focusing on Early Childhood Development and Continuing Teacher Development programmes.

In 2012, SANTS registered as a Private Higher Education Institution at the Department of Higher Education and Training with the focus on initial teacher education (ITE) programmes. More than 5 000 newly-qualified teachers have since graduated with the Diploma in Grade R Teaching, Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching and a Bachelor in Intermediate Phase Teaching degree.
