[OSGeo Africa] What software is currently used in South Africa tertiary institutions

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi Sindile,
If you state the reason for your query, you might get more useful or 
relevant answers.

(So lets see how useful my response is 😕  )

One does not go to a learning institution (as in University) to learn a 
SW product.
The usage of any SW product is incidental to what you are being taught.
(So prior knowledge of which SW they base their studies upon, is not 
useful to you)
To learn a product, go to the product supplier.

If your query to this list is because you want to register with SAGC, then:
(Register as "In Training" before you start/continue your studies.)

  * If you have not started studying, pick an SAGC accredited course.
  * If you are partially through your studies, then look on the SAGC
    website to find a Table with the required course *_content_* as
    needed for the different types and levels of registration.
      o Compare the *_content_* of your completed courses against the
        content required for registration.
      o  From this you will see what _*content*_ (and subjects) you are
        missing and thus need to complete before you can register.
      o Then choose appropriate courses to gain credits in your missing
        content.


Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Zoltan
