Admission Requirements:
The admission criteria are there to protect you, the applicant. The purpose is to ensure that people who enroll don’t take too high a risk of not being able to finish a course successfully.
Our project management courses are not challenging but require English language proficiency and basic numeracy to deal with some basic calculations and interpret relatively simple graphs. People with a Grade 12 qualification that includes a subject such as Accounting or Mathematics – or an equivalent qualification – should not experience any difficulty related to numeracy.
Please note that we recognize prior learning, and if you are unsure whether or not you should enroll, we require a CV that includes information about your highest school qualification – subjects taken and results per subject – all courses taken after school, and relevant work experience.
PPM Weekend option
Applicants should preferably have a tertiary qualification. Applicants who do not have a degree or equivalent qualification that ensures numeracy should please provide a CV for admission purposes.

Payment for courses
To ensure that cash flow doesn’t hinder your education, we offer flexible payment options to support you in pursuing your studies.
To secure your seat on a course, full payment of the course fee must be received. We offer the option to pay off the course fee, but the entire balance must be received at least a few days before the course starts.
If a client cannot make full payment some time before a course starts, options exists at Mobicred or Fundi to grant a loan to the client and make the full payment to EUP on behalf of the client. The client then pays back the fee in monthly instalments to the organization that granted the loan.
To use Mobicred, you need to complete an online credit application at https://mobicred.co.za/, agree to the terms and conditions, and provide the necessary documents.
Fundi provides short course loans and educational finance services, catering to people seeking career enhancement through additional training. Please click on https://www.fundi.co.za/ShortCourses to submit an online credit application.
However, if a client itself is in a position to make the full payment (at least a few days before the course starts), it is the preferred option.
