Adult Matric Program

Intuthuko College offers an Amended Senior Certificate Program that provides adults who did not complete their high school education or were unsuccessful in their matric examination with an opportunity to obtain their school leaving certificate. This certification opens doors for further educational pursuits should they choose to do so.

Eligibility Criteria:

Candidates who qualify for this program include:

  1. Adult learners aged 21 and older who have one of the following qualifications:

    • General Education and Training Certificate for Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET)
    • A grade 9 school report indicating a pass in grade 9
    • A recognized equivalent qualification at NQF Level 1, requiring proficiency in two official languages
    • An incomplete Senior Certificate qualification in the year of the Senior Certificate examination
    • An incomplete National Senior Certificate with an expired School-Based Assessment component

  2. Out-of-school youth aged 18-21 who could not complete their school education due to special circumstances verified by the Head of Department.

Promotion Requirements:

Intuthuko College adheres to the curriculum and assessment policies outlined by the Department of Education’s Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS).

Candidates pursuing the Amended Senior Certificate are exempt from the School-Based Assessment (SBA) or Continuous Assessment (CASS) mark. This means that the final examination in the registered subject(s) will account for 100% of the final mark.

To obtain their Senior Certificate, candidates must:

  • Pass at least five of the required six subjects, meeting the following criteria:
    • Achieve a minimum of 40% in three subjects, including an official home language
    • Attain a minimum of 30% in two subjects, with one being an official home language or first additional language
    • Secure a sub-minimum of 20% in the sixth subject if it was previously failed

Our Role:

Intuthuko College assists candidates with exam registration, study materials, and revision in selected subjects. We offer comprehensive tuition during the week and on Saturdays, delivered by experienced tutors who are also NSC and SC exam markers. Study materials provided include workbooks, past examination papers, and set works for English (novel and drama). Examinations are held at a center of the candidate’s choice during May and June each year.
