VISION
The vision is to provide opportunities to access lifelong post-school education and training that could improve
quality of life and contribute towards a peaceful and God-honouring society.
MISSION
We provide higher education to all people, respecting individual learners and aiming at excellence and the
development of progressive and diverse learning communities. We pursue this goal by revering religious and
spiritual processes, the creation of knowledge, critical thinking and the expression of ideas.
VALUES
We strive to provide excellent education by the rigorous implementation of higher education policies and quality
assurance processes and by continuous personal and professional development. Individual learners and their own
learning styles are respected as diversity is endorsed as a constructive contributing factor of higher education.
Continuous personal and professional development of all staff members contribute to high standards of work and
progressiveness. The ICP team values integrity and strives to equip and support learners to develop social
responsibility and to find meaning in life by increasing their awareness of social processes. Students are encouraged
to work in a disciplined fashion and to assume responsibility for their personal actions. Spiritual growth as well as
reflection and critical thinking are highly valued as it aids students in their lives.

LEARNING FACILITIES
LIBRARY
The ICP library is situated on the Germiston campus. The library contains a collection of books, journals and
prescribed texts. Electronic resources are also available through EBSCOhost:
EBSCOhost is a powerful online reference system accessible via the internet. EBSCOhost offers a variety of
proprietary full text databases and popular databases from leading information providers. The comprehensive
databases range from general reference collections to specially designed, subject-specific databases for public,
academic, medical, corporate and school libraries. By using the EBSCOhost databases, students are enabled to do
suitable academic research, which will be a direct benefit when submitting assignments or preparing for exams.
Students use the library on an appointment basis and the librarian is available to help students make full use of
library services. Students have access to Die Afrikaanse Protestantse Akademie’s online library.
STUDENT WEB
11
Registered students have access to a range of services through the ICP student web including:
•
•
Academic discussion forums, which provide additional contact with lecturers and fellow students. Web forums
provide an interactive space in the online environment (the internet) where registered students are able to
collaborate towards achieving a common goal in terms of the course they are completing. The use of these web
forums makes it possible for the ICP to enhance student participation and interaction. Through interacting on
the forums, students quickly find a huge additional resource, which will further assist in meeting the academic
requirements of the various courses.
Online journals, podcasts and e-portfolios are also utilised in course presentation and assessment.
STUDENT SERVICES
ACADEMIC PLANNING
Academic planning is valuable in that it will not only increase the student’s understanding of the journey he/she is
about to embark on, but also help him/her to set realistic goals in terms of his/her studies. Academic planning is
done on an individual basis – it is a joint effort between the ICP and each potential student. Some of the issues in
academic planning include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Choosing an appropriate course
Exposition of the courses
Subject choices (if applicable)
Impact on family life
Time factor
Commitment
Career possibilities
Prospective students interested in academic planning are advised to contact Ms A van Staden or Dr D du Plessis at
the ICP.
