About IBM College

The Institute of Business Management was founded by Charles Henry Stuart in 1973 and formally registered as The Institute of Business Management (Pty) Ltd in 1981.

A new chapter began in 2010, when Daleen Stuart assumed full ownership and leadership of the Institute and established IBM College. Her vision was to make quality education more accessible and, above all, to create a College where students felt genuinely supported, valued, and cared for.

That vision continues to shape IBM College today. The College has since developed into a DHET-registered Private Higher Education Institution, offering a variety of industry-aligned qualifications, short courses, and corporate training designed to support both educational and professional development.

While IBM College has evolved considerably over the years, its purpose remains simple: to provide quality education while never losing sight of the people behind it. The experiences and feedback of its students have helped shape what the College has become known for: The College Known for Truly Caring.

Today, learner success, accessibility, continuous improvement, and meaningful support remain at the heart of everything IBM College does.

Business & Management Qualifications

Vocational and Occupational qualifications

Well before online and blended learning models became formally embedded in national policy frameworks, our institution adopted innovative distance-learning methodologies to expand access to accredited skills development. 

Since 2017, we have delivered SETA-accredited qualifications through distance learning, with these delivery approaches transparently presented during regulatory site visits and accepted within the applicable frameworks at the time. They have since aligned seamlessly with the evolving QCTO and SETA guidelines governing online and blended learning.
