Getting your matric results can feel exciting and scary at the same time. Take a few days, then list the subjects you enjoyed and the work you could picture yourself doing.
Talk to people already working in those fields. Ask what they studied and what they wish they had known. Compare certificates and diplomas, and check the NQF level and fees of each.
The best course is the one you can finish and use in a real job. Thandiwe Mokoena, Head of AcademicsIf you are unsure, start with a short course. It costs less, it is quick, and it shows you whether the field suits you.
Choosing what to study next
Look at your matric subjects and marks first. Then think about the work you would enjoy. A short course in web design or digital marketing can lead to a first job, while a diploma takes longer and goes deeper.
Finding the money to study
Ask about bursaries, paying in instalments and free short courses before you decide. Kagiso Molefe in our admissions office in Midrand can talk you through the options and the fees.
