Adult Matric Accreditation
After the promulgation of the Joint Communique 1 of 2016, FET, TVET, and Private Colleges were required to be registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training. This registration would then provide accreditation to those FET, TVET, and Private Colleges to offer certain certificates and qualifications.
This requirement was however revoked in Communique 1 of 2020, first published in the Government Gazette on the 7th of February 2020, Mr. GF Qonde, the Director-General for Higher Education and Training.
As stated in section 4.1 of the Government Gazette of the 7th of February 2020, Private Colleges, “are no longer required to lodge applications for registration with (the) Department (of Higher Education and Training) as private colleges or private higher education institutions as contemplated in the Joint Communique 1 of 2016.”
Thus Private Colleges cannot apply for registration with the Department of Higher Education and Training as that process is no longer part of the regulations of the DHET. Colleges and Institutions that had the accreditation as prescribed by the DHET before 2020, retain that accreditation until the date of expiry (this usually happens within three to five years after receiving accreditation). After this happens, it is not needed or possible to be renewed.
As per the Government Gazette of the 7th of February 2020, the newly instated accreditation process requires private educational institutions and colleges to get accreditation from the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), after which they apply for an Exam Number from the DHET Exams Division.
To qualify for this exam number, the college or institution must pass the DHET Exams Division Registration requirements, which include a site visit from the DHET Exams Division. If successful and the college or institution passes, the DHET issues a letter to confirm its exam number and accreditation.

Will It Benefit Me To Continue My Studies Without Ever Completing My Matric In School?
Yes, it most definitely will! Currently, in South Africa, we are experiencing growth in the youth unemployment number every year. This has been and continues to be a massive problem. With many individuals never completing their school careers or failing to pass their final matric exams, the effect this has on our country is huge. When choosing to continue your education, especially without matric, you put yourself in the position to still be able to gain great knowledge and skills in certain selected fields.
This means that you put yourself in a position to become more easily employable. The truth is that one can never know enough, and simply because you do not have a matric certificate, does not disqualify you from gaining employment and progressing in a career of your choice. Continuing your studies guarantees that you will reap the benefits so many choose to not attempt.
