Duke Corporate Education (Duke CE) is a non-profit corporate/executive education provider founded in 2000 as a support organisation of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business in the United States. Its South African entity, Duke Corporate Education RSA (Pty) Ltd, opened a Johannesburg office in 2008 (The Campus, Eden Gardens Building, 57 Sloane Street, Bryanston, Gauteng), employing around 30 staff and serving as its regional base for work across roughly 30 African countries. Duke CE RSA specialises in custom, non-degree executive and leadership development for corporate, government and public-sector clients — spanning strategy, digital transformation, ESG, diversity and inclusion, and negotiation skills — delivered via face-to-face, blended and virtual formats. It is not presented on its own website as a CHE- or DHET-registered degree-granting higher education institution; no such accreditation is stated on-site, and Duke CE is instead recognised for two decades of Financial Times rankings among leading custom executive-education providers.
