Making the right choices: 

National Senior Certificate

The National Senior Certificate is the minimum requirement for entrance to a Higher Education.

The National Senior Certificate (NSC) is a 3 year programme that consists of Grade 10, 11 and 12. This means that each Grade has to be completed and passed separately. A National Senior Certificate will be awarded to you after successful completion of the National Senior Certificate Grade 12 examinations. The final examinations in Grade 12 will be administered by an external assessment body accredited by UMALUSI. The National Senior Certificate is awarded by UMALUSI. 

Senior Certificate

The Senior Certificate is obtained after successful completion of Grade 12 on the old curriculum. The last examination and opportunity to obtain this qualification, will be in 2011. These examinations are administered by the Department of Education (DOE) and the Certificate is awarded by UMALUSI. As a student, you can either achieve this Certificate with or without an endorsement. A Senior Certificate with an endorsement will allow you entrance to university, provided you meet all the entrance requirements of the University. Technical Colleges, Universities of Technology and other Colleges generally do not require endorsement as an entrance requirement. It is your responsibility to enquire from the institution of your choice whether you meet their entrance requirements. ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH THE DOE, (IN OTHER WORDS YOU NEED TO BE REGISTERED AND HAVE A VALID EXAMINATION NUMBER), WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENROL AND COMPLETE. 

Please contact INTEC College or visit their website for more information.

5. DAMELIN CORRESPONDENCE COLLEGE 

Damelin has played a major role in education and training for over 40 years. It provides high-quality education for those who need the foundation qualifications to advance their future towards careers in the South African business environment.  The curriculum and programme structure are designed according to the latest developments in outcomes-based education. This system rewards candidates for positive achievement – it shows what they know, understand and can do, as opposed to only testing whether candidates can recall information. 

South African Qualifications

Damelin Correspondence College offers the following South African Qualifications to students who wish to gain entrance into local tertiary education institutions: 

Academic High School 

·          National Senior Certificate Grade 10, Grade 11 and Grade 12.
·          Senior Certificate Grade 12 (conditions apply). 

 

International Qualifications 

Students and educators have expressed the need for a wider curriculum specifically tailored to international needs. Due to popular demand, Damelin Correspondence College offers the student the Cambridge internationally-recognised learning programme: the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE). 

The University of Cambridge, England, a world leader in educational assessment, sets the curriculum and administers the examinations for this learning programme. The IGCSE syllabus encourages the development of oral and practical skills, an investigative approach, the initiative needed to solve problems, the application of skills, knowledge and understanding, and the ability to produce extended pieces of written work. 

 

For further information and distance learning guidance, visit the Damelin website at: www.dcc.edu.za, email info@dcc.edu.za or call toll free on 0800 204 911.
