Important Before You Apply
The institutions listed below are located across different parts of South Africa, and some online institutions are based internationally.
Please make sure you verify:
- The physical location of the institution
- Whether they offer online, in-person, or hybrid learning
- Travel or accommodation requirements if the institution is outside your province
- Whether international institutions have time zone differences or additional administrative requirements
Please also do your own due diligence before making any payments.
We strongly encourage families to verify:
- That the institution is still legitimate and also still properly accredited - as ownership could have changed, campuses could have closed, accreditation could have been lost since this page was updated
- Their most updated admission requirements
- Whether they currently accept GED students
- Any additional requirements such as SAQA verification, Universities South Africa exemption, portfolios, interviews, or National Benchmark Tests
Admission requirements can change over time, and while these institutions have accepted GED students in the past, acceptance is never guaranteed.
This page should be used as a research starting point, not a guarantee of acceptance.
Always confirm directly with the institution before paying application fees, registration fees, or tuition deposits.
Requirements may differ by course, faculty, intake year, SAQA verification, Universities South Africa exemption, or National Benchmark Tests Project requirements.
Always confirm directly with the institution before making decisions.
