The Business Academy (SA) offers an internationally accredited business programme in South Africa. Business Academy (SA) is offered in association with the University of Stellenbosch Business School, which combines proven business principles with the Group’s 95 years of ‘street-wise’ business experience.

The Louis Group Business Academy was established in 2003 with the aim of teaching individuals the 'secrets' of building a sustainable business while promoting the virtues of stewardship, honesty and integrity. The collaboration with the University of Stellenbosch Business School, and the provision of the international accreditation, allows the Group to offer this unique programme anywhere in the world.

Built on the principle of "Learning through Discovery", this business tuition programme is offered six times a year in Cape Town. It provides students with the knowledge and practical experience gained through the Group's nine decades of business growth. Every student who is accepted into the programme is wholly sponsored by Louis Group.

The Academy offers business owners practical suggestions on how to manage their business effectively, teaches them how to survive in difficult business climates and how to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. This practical approach ensures the comprehensive, personal and professional equipping of the learner.

South Africa: The Business Academy emphasis for 2010 is on assisting past students, which now number over 1000. We intend to do this through coaching and interactive workshops and the next enrolment process will commence in late 2010.
