Independent Institute of Education

The Independent Institute of Education is the biggest private higher education institution in South Africa.

The story of this prominent South African university began in 2004, not as a university itself, but as the academic backbone of a larger education group. Established within the ADvTECH Group, it functioned as the central body for academic leadership and governance. Its initial role was critical: overseeing all the group's campuses, ensuring the development of high-quality curriculums, and rigorously assessing and certifying the educational programs offered at each location. This focus on academic oversight laid the groundwork for the institution's future reputation for excellence.

Over time, the university emerged from its governing role and blossomed into a full-fledged institution. This transformation positioned it as a major player in South Africa's higher education landscape. Today, it stands as the leading private provider of higher education in the country, boasting a vast network of 24 campuses spread across South Africa. This extensive reach allows the university to cater to a diverse student body, offering a multitude of educational pathways.

The university's rich history is interwoven with its unwavering commitment to providing students with a comprehensive and empowering educational experience.  Its course offerings encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from focused, short-term certificates to in-depth doctoral degrees.  Furthermore, the institution operates under a variety of specialized brands, each catering to specific academic disciplines and professional aspirations. This allows students to choose the learning environment that most closely aligns with their individual goals and career ambitions.
