C T I EDUCATION GROUP PORT ELIZABETH
Education in Port Elizabeth

In 2006, CTI formed a relationship with Pearson Institute of Higher Education (previously Midrand Graduate Institute (MGI)) with the aim of working together to deliver the highest standard of career-focused education and programmes, across multiple campuses, which are accredited locally and recognised internationally. The relationship with Pearson Institute has also been designed to provide shared learning sites, enabling students to study accredited Pearson Institute programmes and qualifications at campuses across South Africa. With 11 CTI campuses and Pearson Institute remote sites of delivery situated on the same premises, CTI and Pearson Institute are able to cater for both full-time and part-time students. Combined sites of delivery also provide our students with the opportunity to benefit from various campus facilities and interact with students from all walks of life. Pearson South Africa, the world’s learning company, became the 100% owner of CTI Education Group in 2013 and seeks to serve the higher education market by providing educational resources such as teaching and learning materials, assessment services and a range of educational solutions and tools. By securing this partnership, Pearson’s strong brand, educational resources and global reach will help leverage CTI’s strengths and transform the higher education landscape in southern Africa. This accreditation ensures that all programmes and academic service delivery are of the highest standards and that students have comprehensive employment opportunities available to them upon completion of their studies. CTI has degree-conferring status in South Africa, thus enabling learners the opportunity to study towards a degree at any of its twelve campuses. CTI and Pearson Institute have both experienced solid growth over the past decade and are regarded by many as institutions of choice. They have established themselves as premium higher education institutions, delivering quality career-orientated qualifications not only to South African students, but also to a large, ever-increasing international student body. CTI Education Group is part of Pearson, the world’s leading learning company. The Senate is the supreme academic authority, which governs all our academic endeavours. It is responsible for developing, reviewing and quality assuring our teaching and assessment methods, qualification structures, curricula, research practices and policies. The Senate advises the Management Committee, the CEO and the Managing Director, who use its recommendations on broad and specific academic matters. It is a platform for discussions and decisions that impact on the institution, academic staff and students. It is also the key forum for academic staff to discuss internal matters as well as external government, economic and industry issues.
