Eduvos Partners with Emeritus to Revolutionise Professional Education. In a groundbreaking move for African higher education, Eduvos, a prominent private higher education provider in South Africa, has officially announced its strategic partnership with Emeritus, the globally acclaimed EdTech company.
This new venture will bring world-class, flexible, and affordable professional education to South African learners, professionals, and future leaders who are eager to grow their skills and career potential.
Eduvos Becomes the First in Africa to Collaborate with Emeritus
Eduvos has made history by becoming the first African institution to collaborate with Emeritus, a global leader in online education. This Eduvos partnership with Emeritus is not just a win for the institution itself but a bold step forward for education across Africa.
Emeritus is known for its global reach and elite academic partnerships, working with more than 80 top-tier universities around the world. With a network of over 2,000 employees and offices in 20+ countries, Emeritus has earned global recognition, ranked as the No. 1 EdTech company in the world by Time Magazine and listed in the Top 150 most transformational growth companies in digital learning by Global Silicon Valley (GSV).
Making International Education Accessible and Affordable
The core goal of this partnership is to make prestigious international courses accessible and affordable for South Africans. Traditionally, global executive education has been out of reach for many, with high costs and geographical limitations acting as barriers. This collaboration aims to eliminate those barriers by delivering top-quality asynchronous courses that South Africans can take part-time—anytime, anywhere.
According to Zandi Kleynhans, Associate Director of Enterprise at Emeritus:
“This collaboration with Eduvos is a game-changer for the African market. It’s all about affordability, access, and career progression.”
These courses are particularly designed for:
- School leavers who want global exposure
- Young professionals aiming for promotions
- Individuals looking to transition into new career fields
- Working adults with no time for traditional classes

Professional Advancement Through Elite Courses
The Eduvos and Emeritus collaboration offers curated certificates from top global institutions, covering subjects aligned with high-growth sectors and skill shortages in South Africa. These short courses are built to empower learners with the skills they need to:
- Advance in their current roles
- Unlock new career paths
- Earn globally recognised certifications
- Bridge local skills gaps
Whether it’s business leadership, digital transformation, or project management, learners now have the chance to gain elite-level knowledge without leaving the country or sacrificing their current job.
Flexible Learning for Modern Professionals
This partnership recognises that today’s professionals need flexible and personalised learning models. Unlike rigid classroom settings, these self-paced online courses allow learners to study on their own terms while managing personal and work responsibilities.
Siegie Brownlee, CEO of Eduvos, explains:
“We are proud to be Africa’s trailblazer in providing this unique experience. It’s about preparing professionals for the demands of the global job market, while addressing South Africa’s critical skills gap.”
Helping Those Who Missed Out on University Opportunities
For many South Africans, traditional university education wasn’t always an option—whether due to financial hardship, lack of access, or life circumstances. This initiative gives those individuals a second chance to level up their careers with globally recognised qualifications.
As Zandi Kleynhans emphasised:
“This is for people who are excellent at their jobs but lack the qualifications to move up. Now, they have the opportunity to gain the certifications they deserve.”
Empowering Africa Through Education
By combining Emeritus’ global expertise with Eduvos’ local support, this partnership is more than just educational, it’s transformational. It’s about empowering the South African workforce and helping individuals become globally competitive in today’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
This move supports South Africa’s national vision to:
- Reduce unemployment
- Close the digital divide
- Build a competitive knowledge economy
It is a future-focused investment into human capital development that could reshape the landscape of African professional education.
