Grounded in applied psychology
Our online short courses are human-centric and embedded in psychological theory and skills. Improve your self-awareness, gain a better understanding of human behaviour and achieve greater outcomes when working with others.

Digitally certified and stackable
Each learner’s course work is individually assessed and digitally certified. If you want a comprehensive understanding of a certain topic or area of expertise, you can register for multiple micro-credentials and stack them.
Stackable credentials are valuable for learners wanting to pursue formal programmes in higher education. A specific combination of micro-credentials can be stacked and recognised as equivalent to degree modules. Enrol for degree programmes at SACAP South Africa and apply for module exemption with the micro-credentials that you’ve completed online.

Upskill online with experts
Our short courses are developed and assessed by highly trained experts in their respective fields. Learn new skills online and prepare for the future workplace.

Flexible online learning
Our specialised short courses are designed for working professionals. We’ve applied asynchronous learning that allows you to work through course material, and meet weekly targets, at a time that suits you. You can register for multiple short courses and move between disciplines.

Social learning environment
Engage with peers and benefit from activity-based learning. Join our online learning community and empower yourself in a practical and social learning environment.
What are micro-credentials and short courses?
Micro-credentials and short courses help you gain skills that deepen your knowledge and professional competency. Courses are classified as ‘credentials’ when evidence of a skill set is demonstrated by a learner.
SACAP Global’s human-centric micro-credentials and short courses are practical, academically robust and outcomes based. The course assessment verifies the attainment of specific skills and knowledge, and learners are issued with a digital certificate and badge.
