Africa statement

A mindset for management excellence

The PGDip is an NQF Level 8 qualification accredited by the CHE, and serves as a vital milestone in your management career path. The programme is for middle to senior managers with three or more years of management experience who are ready to move into a more authoritative role and imagine new futures for themselves and their organisation.

Management experience applies to any of your current or previous role(s) that include making decisions that impact daily operations, and coordinating and influencing team members. This can also extend to a responsibility to meet financial targets, and structuring your own work tasks to solve problems and deliver results. 

Henley’s style of learning is rich, relevant, and results-oriented. You will thrive on this programme if you are committed to powerful personal growth and are eager to make an impact in your workplace, and more broadly across your country and continent.

“The great thing about the Henley PGDip is that what we were exposed to on the course was very relevant for Africa and South Africa. I am passionate about our country and the development of its people so it felt like the right institution for me.”

“The PGDip was the best preparation for the MBA that I could’ve had. The MBA is a lot of work, it needs consistency, if you’re not consistent the work piles up and you can fall behind and I was determined not to.”
