Based on recent customer reviews, Damelin is facing severe dissatisfaction centred on unresolved refunds, missing certificates and transcripts, and a near total breakdown in communication. Students and parents describe unanswered emails, dead phone lines, and finance or refund departments that cannot be reached, with some waiting years for money owed after abrupt campus closures and deregistration. Others report incorrect billing, debt collector calls, and an inability to verify old qualifications. The few who graduated still struggle to obtain documents needed for employment or further study.

Money making scheme
All they know is registering new students and no communication after that. They take your money and go AWOL. I do not recommend this institution, been waiting for communication for accreditation or certification.

Damelin withholding corrected certificate for 8 months – Student ***
Damelin withholding corrected certificate for 8 months – Student ***. Damelin made a printing error on my original certificate. I returned it, and on 22 October 2025, Group Registrar Tarryn Zank confirmed the corrected replacement was printed and that Head Office would arrange a courier to Limpopo. It has been 8 months. I have received nothing. Campus managers Sibonelo Malinga and Raksha Reddy are completely ignoring emails, and the campus phone lines ***) are never answered. Nobody will tell me where my physical certificate is. This is gross administrative negligence. I demand that a manager contact me immediately with the tracking details for the courier delivery you promised.

Damelin/Educor Refund
I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received from Damelin College/Edocor. On 30 March 2023, I paid the full year’s school fees. Sadly, the student passed away just two days later. I immediately informed the college and submitted all the required supporting documents for the refund process. It has now been years, and I still have not received the refund. Every time I follow up, I am told that “the systems are down,” with no proper resolution, communication, or accountability. This has been an emotionally draining and frustrating experience during an already difficult time for my family. I expected far more compassion, professionalism, and urgency from an educational institution. I sincerely hope this matter is finally resolved and that no other family has to go through the same experience.

Refund 2024
The refund department cannot get hold of the finance department via telephone or emails. Few weeks ago it was a system problem. Only 1 lady works with refunds and if and when she is not available, then no one else can assist. Why does Michael Thunley at educor not do anything about these ongoing problems. Surely there must be someone, anyone for that matter be able to assist in any form. For such a big entity where phone calls cannot be directed to the finance department.Really.....i sent an email to Daleena as well, but no response...

Disappointed and annoyed - wrong account allocation
Registration errors leading to garnish messages to the wrong person. So I studied with Damelin few years ago and my studies were paid by my employer, I graduated and left Damelin. Later on another student from my company went to study with Damelin what they did, they added her under my profile and it so happen that her studies where not paid. I got a call from their Account Clerk telling me about the error and asking for the company's details and I gave her the details. 7 years down the line today, Damelin goes and submit my name and ID for some garnesh like really?????

Paid for Course – Unable to Register – No Refund
We paid R10,000 to register for an online course through Damelin/Uni4Online. After payment, my daughter was unable to register or access the student portal and never logged into the system. A formal cancellation was submitted and a refund was requested, as no academic services were provided. Despite multiple emails and follow-ups, there has been no refund and communication has been extremely poor. This situation is very concerning, especially for students who are trying to invest in their education and may be using borrowed money to study. I strongly urge the institution to resolve this matter promptly and process the refund.
