FAILED YOUR MATRIC ? THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU






If you want to study and you do not have Matric, chances are you may be interested in completing your Technical Matric. According to Varsity Institute of Science & Technology, a Technical Matric is “an N3 level nated national qualification that offers a more practical alternative to the National Senior Certificate (Grade 12).”



The subjects

While the Matric syllabus is academic and theoretically focused, a Technical Matric is more practical and prepares you for specific roles in the working world. A Technical Matric is made up of six subjects, including Business English, Sake Afrikaans, and four technical subjects on N3 level. Combining your Technical Matric with skills development courses or vocational programmes can further increase your professional value.

The opportunities

A Matric can get you into university, while a Technical Matric might not. A Technical Matric can, however, open up many opportunities in terms of jobs and further studies at N4 level. A Technical Matric can be really helpful “when applying for apprenticeships and entry-level technician jobs” . Furthermore, if you currently work in a technical field, a Technical Matric can increase your chances of getting a promotion. This can improve your prospects of becoming a team leader or assuming a more managerial role, which can increase your earning power.

Types of jobs available in technical fields:

  • fitting and Turning
  • Welding
  • Maintenance planner
  • Carpentry & Roofing
  • Boilermaker
  • Fitter and turner
  • Electrical engineering technician
  • Millwright
  • Petrol/diesel mechanic
