Founded in 1997, SACAP is an independent and internationally accredited tertiary education provider of Applied Psychology that offers a range of registered and accredited courses, from higher certificates, diplomas, undergraduate degrees, postgraduate qualifications, to specialised programmes. Applied Psychology forms the core of each course, and topic areas include Psychology, Communication, Business Management, Human Resource Management, Social Work and Coaching.

SACAP is accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE), registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) by SAQA and recognised by the British Accreditation Council (BAC) as an Independent Higher Education Institution.

Our commitment to taking a person-centred approach translates into a social learning environment in which students can engage with peers, industry experts, educators and course facilitators with ease. A key part of this success lies in the deliberately small class sizes and ongoing mentor support to make sure that every student receives the tools they need to succeed.

We also combine an academically rigorous curriculum with a strong emphasis on the ability to apply knowledge through the training of relevant skills. Most of our qualifications include supervised practical placements that cover a diverse range of settings, which you can match to your field of interest. This way, you'll get invaluable practical experience under your belt – before you even graduate.

SACAP has three intakes per year, and you can study on campus in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria or online via flexible online study options.
