At Sofizo Educational Centre, you can enrol in one of the post-secondary courses. You can pay the tuition in monthly installments without interest. We grant you an additional discount when you pay the tuition fees for each year in a lump sum. Installment repayment is more favorable than a bank loan. The amount of the monthly payment is fixed. However, since we can recognise the obligations you have already completed at other schools and consequently reduce the tuition fee, we will calculate the tuition fee for you individually. Therefore, we advise you to consult with our professional colleagues.How long does schooling take?
Training lasts two to three years, with the exception of retraining which you can complete in 10 months. Of course, the length of your training depends mainly on the pace you choose and how much time you are willing to devote to your studies each month.How do I do my schooling, by exam or by year?
When you enrol, we first draw up your personal education plan, which includes the requirements you need to meet to graduate successfully.
