The South African College of Applied Psychology - SACAP (reviews)

SACAP is totally an amazing school especially if you want to branch into psychology and it truly helps you and supports you especially online as I’m an online student. I’m still studying there but I have taken two breaks due to pregnancy and me not mentally being there but I’m going back to finish and I know I shall get support. You have amazing lectures too and honestly you need to put in the work and everything will be fine.

Honestly… I do not have many positives to share. Despite being selected for the elite BPsych Equivalent program, I was subjected to human rights abuse and violations, educator misconduct and bribery, ethical misconduct, educator bullying, and inconsistent, discriminatory standards. I can, however, give praise to certain educators and individuals who made my degree and 6 year experience with SACAP worthwhile and a positive experience. I also do feel that I received a level of knowledge that benefits me in my field (particularly practical knowledge). However, this institution falls significantly short of meeting their goals and publicly declared promises to its students and the public.

Reputable in Psychology & Counselling: SACAP is known for specializing in applied psychology, coaching, and counselling.

Practical Learning: Strong focus on real-world application, with practical placements and experiential learning.

Accreditation: Registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and CHE (Council on Higher Education).

Flexible study options: Full-time, part-time, and online options available. Great classes with qualified professors, good support from lectures and counselling is available for students.

It’s a really good school, sometimes the communication can be off and inconsistent.
But the atmosphere and the lecturers are the best and is good for practical and applied work.
The campus life can be exhausting and you can get burnout really quick but there are always people that can help you if you need it.
