Damelin is a college in South Africa. It was founded by Benjamin Damelin in 1943. Damelin campuses, over forty in number, are spread throughout southern Africa. It is a wholly owned division of The Education Investment Corporation Limited, (EDUCOR). ICESA Education Services Purchased Educor as a going concern, and took control thereof in January 2008.

Accreditation and Registration

In South Africa, institutes providing education are required to obtain accreditation with one of the 33 Education & Training Quality Assurance bodies (ETQAs) which are in turn accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).

Damelin, and its various campuses hold provisional accreditation with Umalusi, the highest possible accreditation obtainable with that particular ETQA.

Damelin is also on the registers of private higher and further education & training providers at South Africa’s Department of Higher Education and Training for an extensive list of qualifications.

Further to the local accreditation, Damelin, through its international affiliation network, allows South African based learners a channel with which to obtain qualifications, licenses and certificates conferred by various international organisations.

Mode of Delivery

While other institutions under Educor may offer other modes of delivery, (e.g. correspondence), Damelin focuses on the following face-to-face modes:

• Full time tuition, learners register to study full time.
• Part time tuition, where employed individuals take classes after work or on Saturday mornings.
• Corporate training, where courses, or modules thereof are condensed into full day events spanning a few days or a week.

Language

Damelin is a predominantly English medium college. Many of its affiliates and certificating bodies are internationally based making English a suitable medium.
