TERTIARY STUDY ADMISSION

Accreditation and Entrance into South African universities:

In South Africa, the GED® is recognised as a senior certificate/grade 12 by SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority). In the United States and in most countries of the world, it is fully recognised.

We have been legally prevented by the SA government represent by Umalusi and its attorneys from comparing the National Senior Certificate in South Africa to the GED®.

This means with your GED®, you can access tertiary courses at colleges, and in most cases, diploma and certificate courses at universities in South Africa. Internationally, you should also do the SAT College entrance exam, which is also taken at centres countrywide, and for which a course is offered by Cyber School.

Should you wish to study at a South African college or only enter the job market, then you only need the GED® (please verifiy this yourself), although the SAT is advisable as it improves the student’s knowledge of English and Maths.

Should you wish to study for a degree at a South African university you will need to request a Matric Exemption Certificate. In South Africa, you need to have the GED® certification converted into a South African Matric Exemption Certificate by the Matriculation Exemption Board in Pretoria to assist South African universities to recognise and understand your GED® certification, as it is viewed as a foreign (United States) certification.

Should you wish to study for a degree at a South African university and request a local conversion, you will need the GED® + a bridging course (approx. 1 year in duration) that will give you the equivalent of NQFL5 or wait until age 23, after which you can apply for a Matric Exemption certificate to gain access to a degree course at a South African university. To better understand NQFL5, see this pdf from SAQA by clicking here.

Please note that in this regard, all our students should have completed their GED® in 11 years, and adding an extra year to complete one of these NQFL 5 courses still means that the total schooling duration is 12 years, the same as at any other school using alternative curriculums.

WITH INTERACTIVE GAMES!

Cyber School believes interactive games make learning fun and interesting. Games help make the hard stuff in life fun! We develop age and subject appropriate games that we incorporate into each subject and grade of the schooling curriculum wherever possible.

Just another way that we show you why we are the preferred choice for online homeschooling!

Here is the number of games included in each grade, with each game being allocated to lessons and subjects.
