As a specialist qualification focusing on entrepreneurship development, the PGDip SEC programme gave me the perspective and skills (both hard and soft) to understand the unique world of small business."
"I work at Voys SA, where I was headhunted after having met the founder in the Netherlands while conducting my final-year internship. I now work for the most people-centric and progressive business I know! Had I not learned, at TSIBA, to confidently put myself out there and network, I would have missed plenty of opportunities in my twenties."

Its Academic curricula is designed to prepare the students for the work environment. After my Industry Practical Project, I was employed immediately.

“TSIBA is an institution that moulds your thinking and allows you to be more considerate of those around you. TSIBA teaches you the skills to thrive in an ever-changing corporate and entrepreneurial landscape and at the same time, serve as a constant reminder that money and power are concepts that are empty when the purpose of attainment is not for the greater good."
