History

Established in 1979, it soon attained acceptance as a private university-level, degree-conferring institution - one of the first of its kind in southern Africa. It formed a partnership with CTI Education Group in 2004. CTI started as the Computer Training College in 1997. The main approach was to offer degrees at various remote campuses nationwide and conferred by Midrand. Qualifications are offered at 12 campuses in South Africa.
