IT CONSULT ACADEMY (ITCA)
“With technology we can fundamentally change the ideology and methodology of the current pedagogy within South Africa. Through the introduction of technology at a young age, that uses visual and practical methodologies that edify not only the parents of the unborn child, but the child from birth and throughout that child’s lifespan, will spur a butterfly effect with a sharp increase within the learning curve of previously disadvantage communities around South Africa.”
-Denver Achilles, President & MD
EDUCATIONAL MISSION
Being aware of our current industrial revolution, and the benefits of harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies and concepts, IT Consult Academy’s main objective is to lift the standards of education by offering high quality education to underdeveloped areas within South Africa. This will be done by supplying Information Technology driven courses and programmes to these areas.
With the help of our partners, we will be able to offer these services and educational material by integrating their focus areas and resources.
