I Failed Matric. What now?

If you have studied hard at school, yet still failed matric or any other grade, we have good news for you.

You are not a failure.

The system has failed to help you pass matric or whatever grade it is that you have failed.

The system has failed. Not you.

The system has failed to help you learn in a way that works for you. Each person is an individual, who needs to learn different skills and different concepts at their own pace. Mass education doesn’t work for a large number of learners.

Dropping out of high school, when it wasn’t not working for you is not a shameful thing. It’s a good choice to make.

It’s the first step in a new direction.

It shows that you have recognised that school is not ideal for you and you are looking for change. You are brave, you are motivated, you are choosing something else!

You need an alternative and we offer a solution for you.

Possibly, you could write your GED® test  and earn a recognised, foreign grade 12 equivalent*, which will open up avenues of opportunity for you in the future.

If you are over 16,  you have a laptop, tablet or desktop pc with internet, then you can start now.

Prove to yourself that you are a success!

With a GED® credential, as with a school matric, you can apply to study further, apply for better jobs and you can follow your dreams…whatever they are.

Like our client Aneke, you can have new hope!

You can do this.

You can start anytime that suits you. You can START NOW!

Dear Shirley

My whole life at school, I felt like a failure. I struggled to keep up.
But I did this! I got my GED, in my own time and I learned so much. Thank you.
Now I know that there is always a way. I just have to find it. I have new hope for my future.

Regards Aneke


*SAQA (the South African Qualifications Authority) has evaluated the GED® and found the National Senior Certificate as its closest comparable qualification. As with any kind of matric or high school credential, there is no guarantee that a GED® graduate will be granted exemption from USAf, nor that a university will accept his/her application, as there may be other selection criteria too.
