...more about the IT industry
The IT services market in South Africa has seen a healthy uptake, growing at about 8% year on year in 2010 to contribute more
than a third of the total IT spending in the country. Market research and advisory company IDC expects the IT services market to
exceed $5-billion (R40-billion) in 2012. “The growth in IT services’ spending was driven by a recovering economy, increased business
confidence, expanding bandwidth availability, and various infrastructure investments made in the country in 2010.”
In a recent research report, IDC cited that IT outsourcing constituted around 40% of the South African IT services market, which
represents the largest market share of all IT services foundation markets, followed by systems integration and installation and support
services. According to IDC, services such as network and desktop outsourcing and infrastructure hosting saw an increased uptake in
2010, fuelled by the incremental supply of data centre space and increased customer awareness of the managed services model.
IDC forecasts the total South African IT services market to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 8,7% to exceed $17-billion
(about R136-billion) in 2015. Looking ahead, IDC expects a continued spending focus among end-user organizations on areas and
solutions that help reduce operating expenses while increasing efficiency. As a result of continued price pressures and the need to
improve client service, vendors are advised to pursue alternative service delivery models, such as cloud services.

Training Methodology

programmes focus on the practical approach to content and learners graduate with hands-on skills required within the IT industry,
enabling them to function fully as IT or Business Professionals.
Language Policy: English
Our Study Material
All programme material is included in the fee. CTU spends a considerable amount of time assessing and evaluating study materials. Tried

Progress
The purpose of the assessment is to inform learners of their learning progress and to enable facilitators to adjust their instruction to the
needs of learners. Throughout the formative assessment process the results and progress of the learner will be continually discussed,
reviewed and further development strategies will be implemented to improve learning programmes and instruction. Each learner will be
issued with two academic transcripts during their year of study in order to monitor their progress.
Workplace Experience Programme
This programme includes field trips, corporate visits and potential internships during the year. This allows the learner the opportunity to
gain a better understanding of the business environment in relation to their field of study.
