" My experience at AFDA Cape Town has raised several concerns. The environment often feels more like a business than a higher education institution, and the overall culture can be difficult for students to navigate. At times, there seems to be a lack of professionalism, with boundaries between staff and students not always clearly maintained. Communication is also an issue, important updates are frequently shared informally via WhatsApp before being sent through official channels, if at all.
Some members of the academic staff appear to lack the formal qualifications or training required to teach at a tertiary level, which can affect the quality of education and long-term academic outcomes. The curriculum lacks consistency and tends to change without clear notice, making it challenging for students to plan or stay on track.
Given the tuition fees, there's a noticeable disconnect between the cost and the overall standard of teaching, communication, and institutional support. I believe the university would benefit from greater transparency, improved regulation, and stronger student protections. I urge prospective students and parents to do thorough research before committing. "
