The University of South Africa (Unisa) provides Short Learning Programmes (SLPs) designed for swift and effective skill and knowledge development in specific subject areas. 

These SLPs are available in several different academic departments of Unisa's colleges and are offered and administered by the Centre for Lifelong Learning. These non-degree programmes adopt a "just enough" learning approach, catering to unique learning needs or employment requirements within various academic departments.

Covering various fields such as law, leadership, education, management, safety, and finance, these programmes present comprehensive opportunities for skill development and knowledge enhancement for interested individuals.

Unisa sets specific requirements for its courses, programmes and workshops, which can vary based on the programme. Here are some common types of requirements across different offerings:

Applicants may need to provide proof of identity (ID or passport) and relevant academic qualifications, such as school certificates.

Advanced Courses and Programmes

Advanced courses and programs may require foundational knowledge in the subject area. Requirements may include a relevant undergraduate degree or equivalent work experience. Some advanced programmes might have prerequisites or require completion of specific courses.
