The South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP)

OUR PURPOSE
Message from the Managing Director of the South African College of Applied Psychology, Lance Katz

Welcome to the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP).

As a part of the SACAP learning community we hope to enroll you in our inspiring vision of an empowered society knitted by integrated, self-aware individuals in healthy relationship with one another, their families, communities and society at large..

Dislocation and Trauma are stark realities of South African society across the socio-economic spectrum. Our country also has enormous untapped potential. It is our firm belief and experience that necessary healing and the actualization of potential is possible through the intervention of skilled, experienced and professional Counsellors and Coaches.

We are therefore dedicated to the training and development of such practitioners through the provision of leading, accredited, high quality educational programmes and qualifications.

We look forward to welcoming you as a SACAP student, a necessary first step towards the fulfillment of our shared vision.
