Well done SI!
At first I was excited about the much needed course, BUT after reading the prospectus I am appalled by the R65000 price tag attached to a year study!!!! WHY is being ‘trained’ to help the marginalized becoming another capitalistic money making scheme for experts? this course is excluding those who needs it most yet again from the educational systems and makes the course ‘unsustainable’ in turmoil times of ‘fees must fall’. Anyway just my humble subjective opinion
Yes, that is why there will be bursaries for most of the students – this is an expensive programme to run. The challenge is not to cut costs and do something inferior; the challenge is to raise the funds from donors to cover those costs.
🙂
put it online – you can run this literally for around R 10 000-00 a year.
I am offering free regenerative building training and placements in informal settlements in the Free State under guidance of grassroots change agents for your students who would like to engage in shack replacement skills development practices for their practical studies. No prior experience are required. All that is needed is energy, passion and a firm believe to change the world by literally re-building our country, replacing one shack at a time. Freedom to build, evolving indigenous knowledge, giving back to the future….

Neo Tron! to infinity and beyond, ….. a regenerative world awaits to be defined.
And it will run at a loss!
If you think education is cheap try calculating the cost of ignorance.
