INTEC Business School For more than 100 years, we at INTEC College have been closely involved with commerce and industry. We are in constant communication with both large companies and small organisations. We have found that, despite the differences in the size and activities of their organisations, employers throughout South Africa have two things in common: they experience an ever-increasing scarcity of people in all areas of management who are equipped with the required skills; and they select, employ and promote people who show initiative and determination. Since 1906, over one million students in South Africa have used their initiative and determination to improve their career prospects by studying with INTEC College. INTEC Business School courses are produced by subject-matter experts, in close collaboration with College staff. Programme Type INTEC offers three types of programmes, namely National Qualifications, Provider Programmes, and Agent Programmes: National Qualifications are credit bearing qualifications registered on the NQF and accredited by a Quality Assurance Body. Provider Programmes are unique to INTEC and are designed to increase and enhance your skills and knowledge within your chosen field. Agent Programmes are programmes and qualifications for which INTEC offers tuition, but where INTEC does not issue the final certificate (the agent body issues the final certificate). For more information about the types of programmes that INTEC offers, please see the INTEC General Brochure. 2
