What Career Can You Study With A Higher Certificate Pass

Despite not achieving a matric pass that will get you university entry or not getting into university because of applying late, there is still a way to pursue post-matric studies. You can do this by completing a Higher Certificate, which takes one year and opens the door to either degree study or a foot on the career ladder.

Many matriculants now find themselves in a situation where their plans to study towards a degree have been thwarted by marks which didn’t allow them to make the cut. But there is still a way for those who remain determined to study towards a bachelor’s degree, that of pursuing a higher certificate, which will allow them to take the next step without having to repeat matric.
