Walter Asks: I matriculated in 1995 without Mathematics nor Science as one of my subjects; I only have English, Afrikaans, Accounting, Biblical Studies, Business Economis, and Biblical Studies. I would like to become a Boilermaker and would like to know which Institution could offer a person like me a course. I am currently employed and would need an Institution either in Pretoria or Johannesburg (Kempton Park preferably) that offers part-time studies or Saturday classes.
