Matric Certificate Courses also referred to as Matric Courses equip students with skills and knowledge and prepare them for further studies and employment.
There are three (3) types of Matric Courses you can study through Matric College. These are:
Adult Matric Course
To enrol for the Adult Matric Course, you must be 21 years or older. The course is for students who do not have Matric.
In the course, you study six (6) subjects. For each subject, there is a final examination. This is the only assessment you find in the course. It counts as 100% towards your final marks.
To pass the exam, you must receive at least 30%. This means, for all six subjects, you must pass with at least 30% or higher marks to pass the Adult Matric Course.
In the case that you fail one subject, you can still pass the course. This is a policy that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) provided for students doing Matric.
This is only possible if the subject you fail is not your Home Language. However, if you fail two or more subjects, you fail the course.
When you finish studying the Adult Matric Course, you will receive a Matric Certificate.
Matric Rewrite Course
To enrol for the Rewrite Matric Course, you can be of any age. This course is for students who failed their Matric. In the course, you will have a chance to choose the subjects you want to rewrite. This can only be a minimum of four (4) subjects.
If you do not want to rewrite the subjects you have, you also have a chance to choose new subjects. This means you can replace your subjects with a new set. However, it can only be a minimum of four subjects. This is only possible if you have passed Matric.
To rewrite these subjects, you will have to write an exam. The exam counts as 100% in your final marks.
In all your subjects, you must aim to reach at least 50% so that you can pass the course. When you pass the Matric Rewrite Course, you will be awarded a Matric Qualification.
