What Our Graduates Say
“I chose LWEC specifically for their CATHSSETA accreditation. When I applied for a field guide position, the employer verified my qualifications directly with CATHSSETA. Other programs I looked at couldn’t offer that.”
Sibusiso M., Field Guide, 2024
“After 15 years in the field without formal credentials, LWEC’s RPL pathway recognized my experience and delivered a national qualification. Now I have the paperwork to match my expertise.”
Maria T., Professional Hunter, 2023
“Learning from Africa’s only female PH Director brought a perspective I wouldn’t get elsewhere. Rigorous standards, conservation-first approach, no shortcuts.”
Thandi N., Eco-Tourism Specialist, 2024
