Matric Works offers you two payment options when you pay for your course online, through our website:

1. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) – Using this option, customers make payment by depositing money directly into our bank account. Payment does not reflect immediately and so it can take up to 5 working days for payment to be confirmed. Only once payment is confirmed will customers receive a confirmation email containing the information they will need to complete their course.

2. Credit Card – This option allows customers to make payment using their credit card or valid debit card. The process is secure and convenient – payment is instant, so customers can access their course content and begin studying immediately.

If this is the case – contact us to cancel your order. Do not login to iTuT Campus or open any of the course content.
2. Payment has been made and the order has been confirmed. The learner has received an email containing their iTuT Campus login information and they have logged in and begun using the course content.

The following learners qualify for admission to the Amended Senior Certificate:

• Adult learners who are 21 years old or older, who have:
  • A General Education and Training Certificate (GETC); or
  • A Grade 9 school report (or the old standard seven) stating that they have passed Grade 9 or Standard 7; or
  • A recognized equivalent qualification obtained at NQF Level, which requires two official languages.

• Adult learners who are 21 years old or older with an incomplete Senior Certificate qualification.

• Adult learners who are 21 years old or older with an incomplete National Senior Certificate and whose School-Based Assessment (SBA) validity has expired.

• Only in exceptional cases, out of school youth, who are 18-21 years old and who could not complete their school education due to circumstances beyond their control, as verified by the Head of Department in the Provincial Education Department.

All of the subjects offered in schools for the National Senior Certificate are also offered for the Amended Senior Certificate. However, while there are a wide variety of subjects to choose from, not all subjects can be taken freely. Certain subjects cannot be taken in combination with others. This is also largely dependent on whether the learner has any credits from previous attempts to complete their matric. For a comprehensive breakdown of subjects and subject guidelines, click here: http://www.education.gov.za/Portals/0/Documents/Policies/A%20résumé%20of%20subjects%20for%20the%20Senior%20Certificate%20Report%20550.pdf?ver=2016-05-12-143654-087

The Amended Senior Certificate Examinations take place in May/June every year. If you meet the qualifying criteria outlined above and wish to take the examinations and obtain the certificate, you must register for the examinations no later than end of October, to take the examinations the following June.

For example, if you want to take the examinations in May/June 2020, you must apply no later than 31 October 2019. Learners wishing to write these exams can register at any provincial education office, which includes the provincial head office, district offices and circuit offices.
