Lilian Van Wyk

Currently, I am managing a newly registered company, Academy One (Pty) Ltd, an online learning platform, where accounting, financial and business professionals have access to CPD and UNISA certificate courses at any time.
I was appointed the position of Head of e-learning and for the last 3 months, my responsibilities increased to also managing the finances, HR, strategic planning, office management, operational duties and marketing.

Apart from my current position, I was the Manager of the Engineering Short Course Office at the North-West University and have 10 years of practical experience in international and inter-governmental cooperation and liaising, project management, facilitating and negotiating contracts and programme development.

I have the ability to communicate and liaise on every level, strategic thinking and planning, market research and identify opportunities and skills shortage, management skills, finance management, marketing, event planning, student administration, education management and programme development.

This includes the registration of degrees through the HEQC, DOE and SAQA processes the registration of qualifications and courses with professional bodies. I have a sound knowledge of the NQF levels.
I was project manager on a research project in cooperation with KAERI (Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute) for the joint development of web-based nuclear education (e-learning) from 2012-2014.
As part of an IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) workgroup, I have visited several international universities to investigate, among other things, the various possibilities of e-learning for nuclear engineers to fill the skills shortage and education gaps.

I can work independently and as part of a team.
