We are so pleased to announce that Caversham Education Institute has officially received our Higher Certificates and Diploma Certificates for the class of 2019.

Just two days before our verification was due this year (2020) Caversham Education Institute was informed, much to our dismay and that of our students that the verification process would be postponed because of the lockdown. The lockdown which started off as 21 days and eventually lead to what is now 9 months of restrictions, from the strictest at level 5 to more leniency at level 1, which is where we find ourselves now. While the restrictions have dropped we are still working safely and cautiously.

As we all know the lockdown, especially at its onset- was a tough time filled with anxiety, job loss and death of loved ones and we are still picking up the pieces of its effects as we suspect we might be for a while. However, much to our delight there is always a silver lining! While many may be feeling weary at this time of the year, at Caversham we have been feeling motivated and inspired by the bright and optimistic attitude that our 2019 graduates have shown.

The online verification process was tough, but our team pushed through restrictions, temperature checks and sanitizer syndrome as we happily worked behind the masks to get these marks verified online! We are so pleased that at level 1 we have received the certificates for our students and they can now celebrate with a tangible Higher certificate and Diploma! We bring new meaning to the phrase “finish strong”.

We are so proud of our students commitment to complete their studies in record time and excel in order to provide quality ECD services in their respective communities. Some of our students have opened their own schools and while our sector may be going through a challenge we are so optimistic about the future of ECD and the quality of ECD practitioners that will educate through fun and play. We are confident in each and every recipient of the Higher Certificate and Diploma respectively and we are celebrating along with you as we end this year on a high note with many exciting features coming up for the future of Caversham and our students as we continue to innovate and adapt to the new normal.
