About Us

Who we are

Educ8 Academy creates tangible capability building value for our clients, lifting the microfinance and managerial leadership capacity bar — bringing positive change to the knowledge, skills and attitudes of people by connecting learning to real individual and business results.

The brand is young, but our people aren't new to this: drawing on years of global experience, we've delivered training and development programs that help companies increase revenue, improve productivity, reduce costs and grow shareholder value. Educ8 Academy was built on that foundation, and is accredited to continue delivering these solutions as qualifications, skills programs and short courses.

Our Mission

To create tangible microfinance and managerial leadership capability building value for clients through world-class business solutions, short courses and accredited training interventions registered on the NQF — enabling business and people to raise the performance bar and sustain business viability.

Our Vision

To be the preferred high-value capability building partner for diversified, interactive learning cloud-based experiences — the first name clients think of when they need real capability, not just a certificate.

Focus Areas

Two areas. One standard.

Microfinance Capacity Building

We mould individuals into competent microfinance practitioners, leveraging best practice for success in a digital financial landscape. Our qualifications run from front-line practitioner level right through to branch and supervisory management, so people can grow into the role — not just start in it.
