Short courses.

I am planning to move to cape town next year and want to study, but the only courses I can find are technikons/colleges/universities. Are there any places that have 1 year or 2 yr long courses?

You did not specify the kind of studies you are looking to do. But you can google City Varsity which I know offer 2 year courses in journalism, drama and so on. Most of the institutions offering 1 or 2 year courses would be Technikons or Intec college (correspondance course)
