About us
We believe education is key to positive change in Africa. Our learners don’t just acquire skills. They positively impact their communities. They tear down stereotypes and build better lives for their families. They grow. They innovate. They empower others. When you choose GIFS, you help develop a continent. We are more than a FAIS-compliant, excellence-driven education provider. We are creating a better Africa for others to inherit. GIFSters (people with a shared passion who make up our Green Team) love what they do. Whether they’re on the frontlines sharing knowledge with learners or keeping the wheels turning smoothly behind-the-scenes or coming up with new, exciting ways to build brighter tomorrows, all of us are passionate about education excellence. We offer a diverse range of accredited (the SETAs, including BANKSETA and QCTO) and non-accredited qualifications that reflect our CEO, Dr Kershen Pillay’s passion for creating viable economic pathways and spearheading sustainable, positive change in Africa through world-class education, training, and development.

Let teamwork make the dream work this Monday As you prep your day, remember that you can do so much more with a collaborative team. Find a way to harness the power of your team’s potential and watch how much faster and more seamlessly you’ll be able to complete your tasks. Perhaps what everyone needs is a team talk to inspire them to be on the same page. And work is much more fulfilling when everyone is pulling in the same direction. #MarketingMonday #MondayBlues #MotivationalMonday #MotivationMonday #MondayMotivation #MindfulMonday #MantraMonday #GIFS #EthicalLeadershipWithGIFS
