UXi Sport is proud to announce its new partnership with Edutel, a reputable and credible Higher Education private provider, registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training.
This will enable the UXi Rugby Institute player-students to embark on studies towards a career in Teaching whilst also focusing on their Rugby Skills Development.
Edutel was founded in the early ‘90’s by Andries Pelser who brought with him over thirty years of experience in the field of education and training. Edutel is a one-stop to life-long learning, specialising in skills development, higher education, teacher training, Continuous Professional Development (CPD), and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). It is also a BBBEE level 1 concern.
All its higher education programs are recognized by the Department of Education as well as formally registered on SAQA.
The UXi Rugby Institute students will be able to apply for registration for the following programs through Edutel;
- Diploma in GR Teaching- NQF level 6
- Bachelor of Education in Foundation phase Teaching- NQF level 7
- Bachelor of Education in Intermediate phase Teaching- NQF level 7
Once a student has successfully graduated with his/her Bachelor’s qualification, they can continue to advance their teaching skills with Advanced Certificates in Teaching as well pursue a Diploma or Honours in School Leadership and Management.
UXi Sport, in line with its vision to “Inspire Greatness Through Sport to Life”, believes that this initiative will address the shortage of especially male teachers with rugby code specialist coaching skills in South Africa, and most importantly create employment for life after the sport.
