VerifiediCollege advertises 12-month SETA-accredited courses in business and IT fields, delivered online. It works differently from most colleges: its FAQ says students aged 18 to 27 are employed on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with the pay going to iCollege as tuition. Its FAQ also says it is not taking enrolments at the moment. Source: iCollege’s FAQ.
