Durban
A port city that runs on paperwork and people
The Port of Durban handles more containers than any other port in the country, and the city's logistics companies, freight forwarders, manufacturers and wholesalers process enormous volumes of documents, stock records and orders every day. Hospitality and tourism along the beachfront and in Umhlanga add thousands more roles that rely on booking systems and online communication.
That is why Level 2, Office & Business Productivity, is so popular with Durban learners: it builds the Excel, Word and document-management skills logistics and admin roles demand. Business owners, from Florida Road restaurants to home-based traders, often add Level 4 to build their own websites and online presence.
