Can I Complete My Matric Online?
You can in fact complete your matric online.
An Adult Matric programme provides students with the opportunity to complete their matric through Distance Learning. This matric course is catered towards students who were unable to pass matric, got poor results and would like to improve them or those who did not write matric at all.
Other online matric options are a Matric Upgrade course or a Matric Rewrite Course
Online matric is a great choice for adult learners for many reasons, one of these reasons is that it allows students to create their own schedules which means that they can work and study at the same time.
