General SACAP Testimonials
“The SACAP environment really encourages you to strive to be your personal best. I enjoy the diversity of ages and how each student brings something different to the table. SACAP also creates a strong base for students. It gets us into the community and into the field so we get real-time experience. It really is a powerful blend of theory in the classroom, which is then put into practice in the community.”
“SACAP offered everything that I wanted: small classes, excellent lecturers, practical counselling skills (over and above theory) and assignment-based grading as opposed to exams only.”
“I feel that SACAP walks the path alongside me, showing me how to tackle challenges through demonstration – not just by talking. Students really learn skills that follow them throughout their lives.”
“I immediately loved SACAP’s intimate and relaxed learning environment. I also love the flexibility of their timetable – especially for those who need to work part time or have other commitments.”
Diploma in Counselling and Communication Skills
“I am impressed by the depth of SACAP’s Diploma in Counselling and Communication Skills, and believe it’s a very comprehensive qualification. Beyond the fact that I feel counselling and communication skills are sufficiently emphasized in the course”
“The modules are all engrossing, the content really draws you in, the lecturers are very helpful and encouraging, and they’re always there if you have queries or need assistance, What I really like about SACAP is the way the content is delivered. In my experience it never became boring, was always challenging and taught me to look at things from different perspectives.”
Higher Certificate In Counselling and Communication Skills
“The Higher Certificate helped me understand human behaviour. It highlighted factors and environments within the South African context that play a role in mental health in our country. It also helped me understand myself better. I can finally give a name to the emotions and thoughts that I have. This has helped boost my self-image and self-esteem,”
“It afforded me the opportunity to test my ability to resume academics as a returning adult student and to gauge my aptitude to pursue psychology,”
“Consequently I think the Higher Certificate in Counselling and Communication Skills is a great entry point into higher education, the course is broken up into small modules, which makes the transition from high school less scary, too.”
“SACAP’s BAppSocSci is informative, challenging and impacts my growth as a human. SACAP offers a wealth of information, and the educators are passionate and supportive. Fellow students add to the positivity and passion, too.”
“I chose to enrol at SACAP because it was the top-rated institution for psychology in all my research. It also seemed to have the best online programme.”
Bachelor Of Applied Social Sciences (Majoring in Psychology and Counselling)
“I love the fact that it’s impossible to complete the programme and remain the same. The degree literally changes how you reason and see things. You come to understand situations in a way that most people don’t,”
“My degree has allowed me to see a gap in our community,” she says. “There’s a real need to talk about mental health and sexuality, which is where my company comes in.”
“I loved every minute of studying psychology at SACAP. My lectures were always interesting and interactive. Also, our assignments tested how well we could apply the theory instead of solely focusing on how well we could remember the theory.”
“Firstly, the knowledge that I’ve acquired can be assimilated into both my work and my private life. Secondly, the collaborative environment I’ve experienced in spite of the online nature of the course has been incredible. And finally, a reflective focus is required of us as students – possibly the most challenging part of the course.
“The degree really teaches you how to communicate properly with people. It’s a skill that everyone needs irrespective of your career path,”
“I love the structure of the curriculum. It’s very effective and the modules are so interesting. It’s also convenient being able to study online at a time that works for me. My workdays are fully loaded!”
“Firstly, the true outcome is unexpected. Going into the programme my objective was to understand why people behave the way they do. Instead, I learnt to understand myself on a deeper level. The degree has helped me to get to know me, understand me and become affectionate towards myself. As a result, I’ve learnt how to help and relate to others.”
“I would recommend SACAP, firstly because of the accessibility and user-friendly online mechanics, and secondly I think the curriculum is world class, culturally sensitive and intellectually stimulating.”
“The online platform delivers educational material in a streamlined digital format – which simplifies the retrieval and organizing of study resources; SACAP’s Student Portal is available seven days a week so you can access course content and review or upload assessments easily; and live webinars are scheduled to suit vigorous work-study schedules,”
“You don’t only learn about other people’s problems, you become more self-aware through the studies at SACAP. It’s eye opening and you aim to become a better person before you get in the field to help others. It’s a growth experience.
“The self-growth that the programme nurtured has undoubtedly made me a better all-round version of myself. More than that, it’s given me a fuller and happier heart. I now appreciate how you’re never too old to make your dreams come true,”
“I would highly recommend studying psychology at SACAP!. The support and immediate response you receive at SACAP is unlike any other.”
“She’s a huge fan. “SACAP offers a wealth of information, and the educators are passionate and supportive. Fellow students add to the positivity and passion, too.”
“Online educators are very good and learner involvement is constantly encouraged, Essentially, we learn how to apply and integrate what we learn into our lives,”
“Not only am I acquiring a qualification that will enhance my career as a tutor, the journey has helped me achieve a greater sense of self-awareness,
“I would 100% recommend SACAP. It has a long-standing reputation for excellence in academics, research, and innovation, and is recognized as a top-ranked institution.”
Bachelor of Social Science Honours in Psychology
“I thought I loved psychology before I applied for my honours, but having completed term one I know I’m definitely on the right path and it’s all thanks to SACAP!”
Master’s of Social Science in Community Mental Health Promotion
“The course is solution driven and community centred with powerful tools, a blended approach to learning and caring lecturers,”
“I liked the applied nature of studies at the college, you don’t simply learn a theory and get tested on it, you actually get to implement what you’ve learned to see how it works in practice.”
“The choice to pursue my master’s at SACAP was an easy one. It offered me the flexibility required to attend weekly lectures after hours and allowed me to explore my interest in understanding community-based approaches to mental health.”
“SACAP’s commitment to practical, hands-on learning and its emphasis on preparing students to excel in real-world settings truly stood out for me,”
Coach Practitioner Programme
“SACAP has given me the credibility and confidence to practice as a professional. The Coach Practitioner Programme is affiliated and recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as well as COMENSA. The programme puts an emphasis on conducting and serving people ethically and competently. This is incredibly important in an industry that is not formally regulated.”
“From the very first class I attended, I knew I was on the right path,” she says. “The course has a blended learning approach. Over six months classes were held online and face-to-face in the evenings or on consecutive days. This gave us time in between to really integrate what we were taught.”
“I chose to enrol at SACAP because the college has such a professional environment and I wanted a certificate that would be recognised. I literally had the best time of my life while I was studying at SACAP and I’m sure I’ll sign up for more courses in the future because I don’t think I’ll ever stop studying! It’s given me the credit and recognition I needed to rise, It makes a real difference when I mention my coaching certification is from SACAP.”
Postgraduate Diploma in Coaching
“The fact that the course is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Also, its practical elements and the fact that all of the educators are professional coaches themselves. They provide real-world knowledge in the classroom as well as in the individual mentor-coaching sessions.”
“Excellent lecturers and plenty of hands-on supervised group discussion, The interactions with my fellow students were just as valuable to me as the content and delivery of the course as well.”
