Are you a teacher or a school leader looking to grow?
Instill Education's game-changing mobile app offers self-paced, bite-sized online modules that can help you address the challenges in schools and classrooms immediately. Our platform has now been launched as an Android app, making it even more accessible to educators across Africa. More than 50,000 teachers have already enrolled for our professional development modules and joined a pan-African community of peers and experts who provide support and feedback along the way.
All modules are aligned with national standards set by the South African Council for Educators, Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, and Ghana National Teaching Council.
Degrees @ Instill
Want to earn your degree through Instill?
We offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Foundation Phase Teaching. This is currently only available to aspiring students in South Africa. It is available in both 1-year full-time (contact) or 2-year part-time (online) modes, and with two cohorts per year starting in February and July. We are proud to be one of only two institutions in South Africa that offer this programme, which is fully accredited by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). We are working with our regulatory partners to launch additional accredited teacher education programmes both in South Africa and across the continent (for our friends in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria please watch this space!).
