Dear Nicoleen

We have been advised that schools have all the necessary forms and information about how to go about registering as a private candidate. We therefore suggest you contact the school where you wrote your original Senior Certificate exams or a public school close to you. The examinations are in November 2010. Please note time is running out for writing the senior certificate.

You could also contact private colleges like Damelin, Brainline Learning World, Abbots College, Progress College or Intec College to see if they can help you with private candidate registration and suitable courses:
