Further Your Studies

Furthering your studies is easy if you do it the right way. You can study at Matric College for any of our courses and gain relevant skills and qualifications.

Furthering your studies means you continue with studying. It means you already have some level of education, and you want to pursue more. You further your studies in different ways, depending on what qualifications you have and where you are in life. 

Furthering Your Studies Based On Qualifications

For example, you can further your studies at Matric College with or without a Matric Certificate. We have a variety of courses you can study to either gain a Matric Certificate or study for other courses that do not need you to have a Matric. 

If you have a Matric Certificate, you can use it to further your studies in a course where you will either upgrade your Matric results or study for our other courses, such as the Diploma and Higher Certificates Courses. 

Furthering Your Studies Based On Where You Are In Life

You can further your studies based on where you are in life. For example, if you are someone who is already working, and you have a busy schedule, you can study best through distance learning. This is because distance learning allows you to study from home. You study whenever you want. 

Sometimes you may want to further your studies through distance learning, although you are not really a busy person. This could be because you want the benefits that come with distance learning. You are able to do the following: 

  • Save transport money 
  • Study at your own pace 
  • Study at your own time 
  • Be in charge of your studies 

You can also further your studies through contact learning. For example, if you are someone who learns best in person, this is the best learning method for you. You can attend classes and interact with students and lecturers. Contact learning has these benefits: 

  • You can ask questions immediately 
  • Receive immediate response 
  • Have interaction with other students
