The best courses will depend on your choice as a student. Here are some of the things that you need to keep in mind when choosing the best course for you:
- The study method that you enjoy. We are a distance learning institution, which means you can study from home. It also means that you can work and study and write the exams when you feel prepared.
- What your interests are. You have to be interested in the course that you are studying, otherwise, your chances of failing are high.
- Whether the course is in demand. We offer ICB Courses that will give you scarce skill qualifications. This means that employers are always looking for people that have your qualification. You can find employment easily with these qualifications and earn a decent salary.
What the entry requirements are. If you are someone that does not have Matric and would like to further your studies, then you should choose a course that does not require Matric. At Matric College, we offer ICB Courses that you can start with a Grade 10 OR Equivalent Certificate, and we offer Short Courses that can be completed if you are 16 and older and understand English.
