About Developing People


FPD prides itself on being one of the few private higher educational institutions that fully engages in the three scholarships of higher education, namely: teaching and learning, research and community engagement. These areas of academic scholarship provide the three focus areas of our work. FPD provides a comprehensive curriculum of courses in clinical management and professional skills development that are customised to the needs of students in sectors such as: management, health, education and information technology. Educational products are presented through formal qualifications, postgraduate qualifications, short courses, in-house courses and conferences.

We acknowledge that cost is a major barrier to quality education. FPD therefore actively strives to reduce the financial burden of participants through scholarship programmes. During 2019 - 2020, educational grants and sponsorships to the value of R70 552 046 million were received. The total monetary value of scholarships awarded since 1998 is R721 506 776 million.
