Henley Africa, having been named South Africa’s top MBA business school seven years in a row, has now also been awarded PMR.africa’s highest honour for its Executive Education programmes.

The latest Diamond Arrow Award recognises that Henley consistently sets the standard for leadership, strategic thinking and innovation in executive development in South Africa.

Dean and Director at Henley Africa, Jon Foster-Pedley, said: "This Double Diamond accolade reflects the school's growing reputation for graduating impressive human beings who show up and know how to get things done.

"We prioritise the skills and mindsets that ensure students build resilience and are able to think and act strategically and decisively – even when situations are messy and complex. This makes them an asset to any organisation."

Henley received the highest score of all institutions surveyed by PMR.africa during September and October 2024. Respondents included HR directors and managers, CEOs and MDs, who rated the institutions across 11 attributes including:

• Application of knowledge in the workplace

• Scope/variety of courses and programmes being offered

• Strategic benefits for the company

• Tactical benefits for the company

• Value of the course to the company
