Online Amended Senior Certificate

It is never too late to pass Matric as an adult.

Think Digital Academy offers an online South African Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) which is equivalent to the nationally recognised National Senior Certificate (NSC/Matric). Certification is issued by Umalusi.

The content is the same as what Grade 12 students in traditional schools complete.  Think Digital Academy offers a full set of exams as a mock matric, two months before the final exams, to prepare students for the official exams. Only six subjects are required (Life Orientation is not required).

Adults that qualify to write the 2020 Senior Certificate (amended) examination may register at any provincial education office (which includes the provincial head office, the district office or a circuit office) or register online on www.eservices.gov.za.
