No matric? You can still succeed
Is the thought of not having matric getting you down?
Have you shelved dreams of studying further because you haven’t finished matric?
Start dusting off those dreams, because even if you haven’t completed your schooling, there are MANY options available to you at SACOB.
Here’s the thing…
It’s great to have done your matric, but if you haven’t, there are ways around it. At SACOB, we not only provide you with those “ways”, we also support you throughout your educational journey.
Before we get into your different options, let’s take a look at what having matric actually means…
Completing your matric year is the equivalent of having NQF level 4.
The National Qualifications Framework (NQF), refers to the nationally recognized system, that assigns credits to different learning achievements.
At SACOB, we have many routes where you can start at an NQF level 3, and progress your way to having a matric equivalent and even further. In short, you do not need to have matric to succeed. What’s particularly great is that you will also be trained in your relevant industry.
One of our students, Tracy Geel, is an example of how you can excel without having completed matric. When Tracy enrolled with SACOB, academically, she had completed her grade 11 year and is 47 years old. She is now on NQF level 4, well on her way to becoming an accountant. Read more about Tracy’s success story here.
