Northern Cape
Big skies, long distances, new opportunities
Diamond mining built Kimberley, and the province still relies on mining alongside farming, solar energy projects in the Upington area and tourism, including the Namaqualand flower season and the Kgalagadi. The Square Kilometre Array radio telescope near Carnarvon has also put the Northern Cape on the global science map.
Training providers are few and far apart, so many learners here have had to travel hundreds of kilometres to study. Our live online classes mean you no longer have to. You learn with a facilitator and a small group, practise on your own computer, and keep the student pack for reference.
