Tshwane University of Technology have announced that 2025 pre-applications have opened up for the online Diploma in Retail Business Management.
This course, developed for current employed students with a minimum 3 years of experience within the retail industry, was first launched in 2023 by The Tshwane University of Technology’s Department of Marketing, Supply Chain and Sport Management and the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI). The two entities made history by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide stakeholders within the Automotive Retail Aftermarket with an opportunity to further their studies, by enrolling in this Diploma.
This agreement allows RMI members and their employees to enhance their knowledge and skills by enrolling in a three year, fully online qualification, that has been especially developed for the Retail Motor Industry.
Pre-Application Process: 1st July to 3rd August
