Introducing Appetd
Education is an essential tool for the success and the advancement of individuals around the world.When education is imparted successfully, it benefits the livelihood of individuals and communities, men and women, young and old alike across the spectrum. Education inherently advantages the beneficiaries thereof. Since education is progressive by its design, it is viewed by many as a necessary tool for promoting the process of transformation and empowerment in South Africa.
APPETD was established in 1997 as an alliance of the Association of Private Colleges of South Africa (APCSA), Association of Private Distance Colleges (APDEC), Association of Technical Providers (ATP), and INPROV.
