Damelin is a private college founded in 1943 by Benjamin Damelin. It has 6 campuses in South Africa and is owned by Educor (the Education Investment Corporation Limited) group. [8] [7] [10] [2] [3] [4] Damelin offers degrees, diplomas and other higher qualifications, but is considered a college instead of a university due to the regulations for tertiary institutions in South Africa. [11] Damelin is the oldest and most profitable education subsidiary owned by Educor. [3] By November 2012, over one million students had graduated from Damelin. [12]

Educor is a wholly owned division of A1 Capital, owned by Leo Chetty. It is one of the largest education service providers in Africa.

History

In 1943, Benjamin Damelin established Damelin as a "cramming college for white students". [3] In 1951, Johann Brummer joined Damelin as a teacher, [3] in 1952, becoming a partner and serving as Educor's Executive chairman until his resignation in 1998. [3] One of the key aspects in the development of the Damelin name was initiated in 1952 when Brummer started developing materials for long-distance learning, which later became the Damelin Correspondence College in 1955. [3] [4]

In the early 1960s, Damelin began offering evening classes at what would later become their Johannesburg Campus . [3] In 1968, the Damelin Management School was established and offered education and training to adults for the attainment of Damelin certificates. [3] [4] In the 1970s, many of the prisoners imprisoned on Robben Island were registered as students of Damelin. [13] In 1985, the Damelin Computer School, which only offered part-time programs at the time, was established in Johannesburg. [3] [4]

By 1991, Damelin had started offering contact instruction to University of South Africa students, which had been established for middle-class African students who were unable to gain entry into universities of higher prestige with higher level education. [14] All these programs were coordinated at the same Johannesburg site for many years until 1993, when the Braamfontein Campus was founded. [3] In 1998, the University of Pretoria approached the Damelin Computer School to facilitate the computer training of residential students of the University of Pretoria on their main campus [15] [16] because their IT faculty was better suited to training undergraduates than the University of Pretoria's. [16]

By 2005, Damelin was the only institution in Southern Africa whose Bachelor of Commerce degrees were recognized by the Oxford Brookes University, a university established in 1992. [17] In 2007, Damelin aligned their programs with the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) [18] and by 2008, Damelin was offering more than 200 NQF programs. [18] In 2008, Educor was purchased by National Pride Trading 452 as a going concern [2] and started integrating the Damelin School of Banking and Insurance's academic operations as part of their offerings. [19]

In 2013, Pacofs signed a three-year contract with Damelin for the training of audio engineers. [20]

In October 2013, the Damelin Gaborone campus cut its ties with Damelin South Africa and renamed itself. [21]

From November 2013 as part of an initiative in the South African education sector called Project Athena, the South African telecommunication company Telkom has pledged to give over 40 000 SIM cards to Damelin students over the course of three months. In the next phase of this project,[ when? ] free Wi-Fi access is to be implemented across selected Damelin campuses for students to use. [22] [23] [24]

Accreditation and registration

In South Africa, institutes providing education are required to obtain accreditation with one of the 33 Education & Training Quality Assurance bodies (ETQAs) which are in turn accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).

Damelin, and its various campuses held provisional accreditation with Umalusi. In 2024 however it was deregistered and ordered to cease operating. [25] This followed the loss of accreditation of some programmes and years of complaints from students who failed to receive requested "study materials, online access, assignment and exam results, certificates and refunds owed to them". [26]

Mode of delivery

While other institutions under Educor offer other modes of delivery, (e.g. correspondence), Damelin focuses on the following face-to-face modes:

Qualifications and certificates

Damelin runs programmes that culminate in a variety of forms of recognition, such as programmes leading to:

Organisation and administration

Damelin is a subsidiary of Educor and most of the organisational and administrative duties are handled by Educor.

Student life

Students have access to the College Driver Programme, a programme coordinated on each campus by Damelin and Toyota that allows students to practice their basic parking and driving techniques. [27]

Prospective students have the option to undertake a free career analysis that will assist them in deciding which course and career path is most suitable for them. [27] [28]

Students are eligible for a partial bursary based on their cultural, academic or athletic performance in high school as part of the Damelin Achiever Bursary Awards initiative. [29] The discounts are not cumulative and they are granted based on the highest level of achievement of the student. [29] The following table illustrates the extent to which a student's fees may be discounted.

Students who study for the Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Business Management, Accounting or Information Management can download course material from Damelin's website. [29]

Students will have free access to Wi-Fi facilities on selected campuses as per the next phase of Project Athena, in which Telkom will provide Wi-Fi infrastructure to campuses. [22] [23] [24]

Campuses

Damelin has 6 campuses across South Africa in various cities, including but not limited to Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban.

All of the current campuses are situated within South Africa's borders in five of South Africa's nine provinces: Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal and Western Cape, [7] the first of which was established in the 1960s in Johannesburg, Gauteng. [3] [4]

There are four campuses based in Gauteng. [30] These campuses in Gauteng can be located in Braamfontein, Menlyn, Randburg.

Damelin's presence in Gauteng is central to its history and operation as one of the first campuses was founded there in the 1960s and their head office relocated to Braamfontein in 1992. [4]

The Braamfontein campus was founded in 1993 and is located on the corner of Simmons and De Korte Street. [3] [31] The Braamfontein Campus is also located on an entire block, allowing it to be seen from all angles. [32] It is also within walking distance of a Gautrain station. [32]

The Randburg campus was founded in 1997 and is located on the corner of Malibongwe Drive and Republic Road. [4] [33] It is home to the Randburg Campus Library [34] as well as the Randburg School of Business and Management, which is a member of the One Palmes League as per Eduniversal's rating system. [35] On Wednesday 4 December 2013, the campus proudly received ISO 1900:2008 certification from the South African Bureau of Standards, marking a significant milestone for the entire Damelin education group. [36] The Randburg campus sets the benchmark for the other 16 campuses and it serves 2500 students, making it the largest of the 17 campuses. [36]

Kwa-Zulu Natal

There are three campuses based in Kwa-Zulu Natal. [37] The campuses in Kwa-Zulu Natal can be found in Durban . [37]

The Durban campus was founded in 1966. [4]

The Durban City campus was established in 2010 and is located on Anton Lembede Street. [4] [38]

Faculties, departments and schools

Damelin has various faculties, departments and schools, [40] namely:

Awards and accolades

In 2005 a survey conducted by Markinor amongst a sample of fifty recruitment agents revealed that individuals who studied at Damelin and attained their qualifications there were more likely to be hired than individuals educated elsewhere due to the fact that Damelin's qualifications satisfy both the vocational and the professional requirements of both the marketplace and students. [59]

Damelin's various campuses have varying degrees of the PMR.africa award that serve to recognize the high standard of education offered by the award recipient. The Cape Town city campus was awarded with a Silver Arrow award on 22 April 2013 for their hard work and excellence in the category "College/Institutions for Higher Education". [60] Damelin Kwa-Zulu Natal (all the Damelin campuses in the province) won a Silver Arrow award in the category "Colleges/Training Institutions" on 14 October 2013. [61]

Community interaction

On 13 February 1997, then South African President Nelson Mandela delivered a speech at the Damelin business college in Johannesburg. [62]

In 2007, Damelin partnered with Ocean Experience to promote the safe use of oceans. [63]

Since 2009, Damelin has been the title sponsor for the annual Damelin Rugby Night Series, which is a high school rugby tournament for boys' teams. [64] [65]

Damelin is known for giving away many bursaries to members of the public. [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71]

In March 2013, hundreds of students from the Durban City campus took to the streets to express their support against rape and violence against women. [72]

Controversy

On 9 September 2012, the investigative journalism program Carte Blanche aired a feature called "Arrested Development" [88] in which the legitimacy of Damelin's qualifications was questioned. [89] Damelin was quick to set the record straight and address the issue [90] and even Debora Patta was quoted as saying "Damelin has a good name and is a trusted brand." [90]
