Dear Ismail

There are a number of options open to you:

1. Consider writing matric as a private candidate

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 your closest school for information. The examinations are in November 2010.

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