Our History (1943 - 2021)

The story of how Damelin College came to be.

Founded by Mr. Benjamin Damelin in 1943, Damelin College started as a humble remedial school, but it wasn’t long before Damelin Correspondence College and Damelin Professional Evening School were established, in 1955 and 1962 respectively, providing a platform of learning for those wanting to further their education while holding down day jobs.
1943
It was soon after that, that Damelin began to expand their physical footprint with a view to going national, opening campuses in Durban (1966), Johannesburg (1968) and Cape Town (1983). What followed, was a period of exponential growth, with more than 16 campuses being opened in more than 17 city centres around the country over the next 10 years.
1966-1983
After having successfully realised his vision of taking education to the nation, Mr. Damelin retired in 1998 and the Damelin Education Group set about expanding, not only their programme offerings, but their footprint into Southern Africa too, making quality education more accessible to even more students.
1988
Consistently in tune with world changes and technological advances, in 2020 Damelin introduced a blended-learning approach. This convenient way of learning combines the traditional face-to-face, campus-based learning with convenient online lectures and content. This change allows our students exclusive access to the Damelin app, providing the convenient, flexible nature of studying online with the benefits of campus services.
