 Amended Senior Certificate Examinations Minimize

The last Senior Certificate examination was conducted in June 2014.

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.

A Résumé of Subjects for the Senior Certificate, Report 550 (2014/07)

The policy document, A Résumé of instructional programmes in schools Report 550 (2005/09) has been replaced by the amended Senior Certificate qualification for out of school learners as stipulated in the policy document, A Résumé of subjects for the Senior Certificate, Report 550.

Matric Revision

Candidates offering the Amended Senior Certificate are advised to make use of the old NSC examination question papers in preparing for the May / June 2015 Amended Senior Certificate examinations. These question papers will assist candidates to manage their time better and to familiarise themselves with the terminology and vocabulary used in the actual examination.
