Qualitas Garden Route opened a campus in George at the beginning of 2013. Accredited courses are offered on both a full-time and part-time basis.
Classes are small, about 5-12 students per class, which means that candidates receive more personal attention. Classes are conducted by well educated and experienced facilitators. Orientation sessions are conducted at the start of each course to ensure all candidates are informed of policies and procedures and to get to know their future class members. Textbooks and other academic necessities are handed out to candidates in the beginning phases of each course. We hope to create a welcoming and relaxed environment for our students with the hope they perform their best! That said, we value respect and discipline and keep each one accountable for their actions.
