About this programme

Regardless of whether an organisation operates within the private or public sector, running it efficiently involves formulating sound policies, managing resources effectively and delivering excellent service.

The welfare of the country’s entire population is an enormous responsibility, and it is therefore essential that everyone entering the public sector is in possession of excellent management skills. The National N Diploma in Public Management (NDipPM) equips students with a diverse range of management skills to prepare them for the demands of a career in the public sector. This allows the successful student to seek employment in government departments, parastatals and non-profit organisations.

Students write national examinations set and administered by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). Upon completion of each N-level (N4, N5 and N6), students receive an official Statement of Results issued by the DHET as proof of achievement.
