History
Eduvos has a rich history dating back to 1979 when it was founded as the Computer Technology Institute (CTI). Over the years, CTI merged with Midrand Graduate Institute (MGI) and later became Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE). PIHE was acquired by a consortium led by EXEO Capital and Stellenbosch Graduate Institute. Following the acquisition, the institution was rebranded and registered as Eduvos, carrying its legacy into a new era of private higher education.
