History

Eduvos’s history dates to 1979 with the founding of the Computer Technology Institute (CTI). This institute later merged with Midrand Graduate Institute (MGI), marking the beginning of a significant evolution in its educational journey (source: https://www.eduvos.com/about-eduvos/)

In 2010, Pearson, through its legal entity Longman Group (Overseas Holdings) Limited, acquired a stake in CTI Education Group. This acquisition set the stage for future developments. By 2019, both the Midrand Graduate Institute and the CTI campuses were rebranded as Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE), reflecting the unified brand under Pearson's ownership.

In November 2020, Pearson announced the disposal of its interests in the Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE) in South Africa to a consortium of Stellenbosch Graduate Institute (SGI) and EXEO Capital, now known as the NetEd group.This transition culminated in the rebranding of the institution to its current name, Eduvos.

In 2023, Eduvos welcomed a record number of 9 800 first-year students. In 2023 Eduvos had the most IT graduates in South Africa.
