Richfield is a private higher education institution with eight campuses across South Africa, offering higher certificates, diplomas, degrees, postgraduate and master’s programmes in information technology and business science, on campus and online.
Richfield contact details
- Telephone: 0861 321 321
- WhatsApp: 082 332 1321
- General enquiries: [email protected]
- Applications and admissions: [email protected]
The WhatsApp line is the fastest of the three during application season, when the phone line queues. Finance questions about fees, funding and bursaries are directed to the funding page on richfield.ac.za rather than to a separate number.
Campus mailboxes
- Bryanston: [email protected]
- Newtown, Johannesburg: [email protected]
- Pretoria: [email protected]. Centurion: [email protected]
- Cape Town: [email protected]
- Musgrave, Durban: [email protected]
- Polokwane: [email protected]
Each of those is a campus address rather than a person’s, so it survives staff changes. Use the campus mailbox for anything that happens on that campus — a timetable, a venue, a campus tour — and the national number for anything about the institution.
Check the accreditation before you pay
Richfield publishes its accreditations and memberships on its own site, and that page is worth reading before a deposit changes hands. A private higher education institution in South Africa must be registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training and its qualifications accredited by the Council on Higher Education and registered on the NQF by SAQA. Ask which specific qualification you are enrolling for and check that qualification, not just the institution — registration is granted programme by programme.
Applying
- Applications are online through richfield.ac.za, with a step-by-step guide under Admissions.
- Students log in through Moodle for coursework and iEnabler for administration; those are two different systems and a password for one will not open the other.
- Campus tours are bookable on the site, and seeing the campus before enrolling is the cheapest form of due diligence there is.
