Seahorse Research and Training Institute (SERTI) was founded in 2011 by Namibians, with the aim of strengthening the capacity of professionals in Governmental & Non Governmental local.
Our mission: SERTI is an institute that is innovative, diverse, creative and research driven, critical, self-sustaining and providing quality postgraduate education and service to local and international participants.
The Institute was created as a way of supporting the country's development and acknowledging challenges and opportunities facing the country. And providing opportunities to professionals to strengthen their capacity. Especially in line of the Namibian Parliament that passed a law in 2010 requiring that all registered health care professionals must earn a 30 continuing education units annual to maintain their registration with the Health Professional Councils of Namibia (HPCNA).
All the courses offered by SERTI are accredited with the HPCNA
