ABOUT US
Brenda Horner started GAP ACADEMY in 2006. As a qualified educator with experience in teaching at high school and lecturing at tertiary levels, it became obvious and essential, that there was a need to create a constructive GAP YEAR for students after school and for those who leave tertiary training prematurely.
GAP ACADEMY is a constructive, purpose-driven GAP YEAR for students to develop their business and personal finance knowledge, their career selections and their personal and skills development. We provide an essential platform for their future plans and goals.
Students (and their parents!) at high school level, have a daunting task to choose a career and life path after school and many make hasty and wrong decisions which can result in study changes or work dropouts. Most students are able to discover their niche and life path once they have had time to emotionally mature out of the school environment and have a breathing space to assess and experience different career and work options.
We are very excited to announce that we now have 2 campuses of GAP ACADEMY:
- Pietermaritzburg, KZN, South Africa ( also Head Office) and
- Westville, Durban, KZN, South Africa (open as from 2017)
SERVICES
