The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the necessity to look towards the future, as remote working becomes the new reality for a number of industries and education moves online.

While schools are reopening, the unpredictable nature of the coronavirus means that things could change at a moment’s notice.

This uncertainty has elevated the need for comprehensive online learning institutions designed to ensure that students receive a well-rounded, quality education.

In short, we need to adapt to a world that blends the old with the new.

The Valenture Institute also understands that, due to the global crisis, parents are in a difficult place with the loss of incomes, school closures, and children that need to keep up with their education nonetheless. The Institute has created a payment concession to alleviate school fee penalties in the transition to online learning and enrolment at the institute.

After successful admission, Valenture will offer a fee discount to allow for their current school fee penalties to alleviate the financial burden. The fee discount will be applied on a case by case basis and dependent on the payment agreement with their current education provider.
