About National Senior Certificate NSC Senior Certificate Exam, how to register, subjects offered requirements, eligibility, and application closing date 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The last Senior Certificate examination based on the policy document, A\u00a0Resume of instructional programmes in schools (Report 550), which\u00a0<\/em>allowed learners with incomplete Senior Certificate credits, as well as adult learners of 21 years and older, was conducted in June 2014.<\/p>\n

However, based on the need for a qualification for adults that is equivalent to the current National Senior Certificate (NSC), the Minister of Basic Education has approved the revision of the current Senior Certificate qualification such that it can be offered by learners who will have no alternative route to follow post June 2014.<\/p>\n

The Senior Certificate, retains its qualification structure but will utilise the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) subjects to support the qualification. This implies that the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) subjects will be offered as part of the Senior Certificate. The first examination based on the Senior Certificate (as amended) was written in May\/June 2015. All Senior Certificate subjects that were passed prior to June 2015, at Higher Grade and Standard Grade levels, excluding Lower Grade conversions, will be recognized.<\/p>\n

The Senior Certificate\u00a0also allows candidates to obtain University endorsement. As in the case of the NSC exam, they can also qualify for admission to Bachelor, Diploma or Higher Certificate programmes at Higher Education institutions. See the\u00a0Notice issued by the Minister of Higher Education and Training<\/a><\/p>\n
