A place to begin

Which path
are you on?

Your academic starting point determines your recommended Fast Learn support pathway. Your number of active subjects determines the monthly price. These are separate decisions.

01

Foundation Support

Foundation Pathway - Grade 9/10 Starting Point

Generally suitable for adults who left school around Grade 9 or Grade 10 and are now working towards their first complete Matric qualification.

Typical recommended preparation: 18 - 24 months

02

Standard Support

Standard Pathway - Grade 11 Starting Point

Generally suitable for adults who reached approximately Grade 11 but did not complete Matric and now require structured preparation towards their first complete qualification.

Typical recommended preparation: 12 - 18 months

03

Completion / Upgrade

Completion / Upgrade Pathway - Previous Matric or Existing Results

For learners who previously wrote Matric, Senior Certificate or another relevant Grade 12 examination, have subject results or credits, or want to complete or improve selected subjects.

Typical recommended preparation: 6 - 12 months

Preparation periods are estimates, not guaranteed completion dates or statutory requirements. These are Fast Learn support categories, not official DBE qualification names. This is a Fast Learn support recommendation and does not replace formal examination or qualification eligibility confirmation.

Who this is for

A plan that fits your starting point.

Whether you want to finish Matric, improve results or return to learning, start by understanding your route. These needs do not automatically establish eligibility.

  • Left school before completing Matric
  • Have incomplete Senior Certificate or NSC results
  • Need to improve certain results
  • Are returning to education after several years
  • Are working while studying
  • Need flexible, structured study support
  • Need help understanding which Matric route applies

Know your Matric route

Senior Certificate vs NSC

Both are recognised Matric qualifications, but they follow different routes. Your age, previous schooling, results and School-Based Assessment history determine which route applies.

NSC

National Senior Certificate - school or rewrite route

The standard school-based Grade 12 qualification. It normally includes seven subjects, including Life Orientation, and combines School-Based Assessment with final examinations.

Minimum certification requirements

  • Achieve 40% in three subjects, including an official language at Home Language level.
  • Achieve 30% in three other subjects.
  • Provide the required School-Based Assessment evidence for the subjects offered.

A minimum Matric pass is not automatically a university entrance pass. Bachelor’s, Diploma and Higher Certificate admission levels have additional mark requirements, and each institution may set its own programme criteria. Fast Learn reviews your history before recommending a route.

A clear way forward

Your Adult Matric
Journey

Check pathway → choose a plan → review your agreement → pay → enrol. Human support is available throughout.

  1. 01

    Choose your route

    Start independently with the pathway check, or ask a Fast Learn Admissions Advisor to guide you.

  2. 02

    Confirm your pathway

    Your academic history is reviewed and a provisional support pathway is recommended. Uncertain cases go to Admissions.

  3. 03

    Choose your study load

    Select the active subjects you want to prepare now. The number of active subjects determines the monthly price.

  4. 04

    Use the same agreement

    Whether you started alone or with an advisor, you review the same programme, consultation, billing and cancellation terms.

  5. 05

    Set up secure monthly billing

    If eligible, choose the first full payment date, accept the online agreement and complete a refundable R1 card check through Paystack. Assisted invoice or EFT payment can be arranged with Admissions separately.

  6. 06

    Begin after your first full payment

    Your programme becomes active after Paystack confirms the first full monthly charge. Admissions then shares resource access, study guidance and consultation booking instructions.

Fast Learn provides academic preparation and support. Official examination registration is separate from programme enrolment and remains your responsibility with the relevant education authority.

Self-paced doesn’t mean
you’re on your own.

How consultations and optional group support work

Two one-on-one academic consultations each month, each up to 30 minutes. Consultations are online by default, relate to your active subjects, require at least 48 hours advance booking and are subject to appropriate tutor availability. Unused consultations do not automatically accumulate indefinitely. Recurring weekly private lessons and unlimited tutoring are not included.

Additional live revision workshops or academic support clinics may be offered from time to time based on learner needs and programme demand. These are supplementary opportunities; recurring weekly subject classes and class recordings are not guaranteed.

First and ongoing full monthly payments are R349, R549 or R749 for 1, 2 - 3 or 4 - 6 active subjects. Eligible online card enrolment starts with a refundable R1 card check, then the full monthly charge begins on the date you choose. No hidden compulsory programme add-ons.

A pathway recommendation helps you select a suitable study load. Full support is generally recommended for a first complete Matric; 2 - 3 subjects can be a staged route. Single-subject support is primarily for existing results, completion or improvement, unless special circumstances are confirmed.

Every plan includes structured Adult Matric support, resources, pathway guidance, study planning, learner support and two targeted one-on-one academic consultations every month, each up to 30 minutes. Consultation booking conditions and full service terms are available in the programme guide and before payment.

Device, data and applicable official or third-party costs are separate. Your support fee does not purchase a Matric certificate or reduce official qualification requirements.
