There are many folks usually looking around for courses they can study without needing a Matric. Indeed, while a matric opens a wide array of doors for a student, it is actually possible to do some courses in Unisa without you having a matric. Even if you have a Matric, it is not a big factor needed to study these particular courses

Gone are the days when a person without matric will be made to feel hopeless and helpless. The truth is, right now, while a Matric certificate is still very much relevant and important, one can still get a decent career without it. One can still study further even without having one.

Academically, in South Africa, matric is a qualification on NQF level 4. And truly, there are several other courses students can study that are accredited on NQF level 4. While they won’t produce a matric certificate, the fact remains that the courses can still give learners accredited, recognised alternative qualifications which can be utilized to study up to NQF level 6 in South Africa.

Matric is just an entry requirement to further studies, as made by the system for reasonable purposes. It doesn’t really prepare students for a specific course. Despite all these, certain courses have been prepared to enable folks without matric the opportunity to still further their studies. At UNISA, these courses are available, serving different purposes.

UNISA Courses Without Matric

– Beauty Therapy Studies

– Bookkeeping and Accounting Studies

– Child Day Care Studies

– Computer Studies

– Management Studies

– Occupational Health and Safety Studies

That’s the list of courses at Unisa that does not require matric as an entry to further studies. Students can enroll and start engaging in these courses without having a matric certificate, as it’s not part of the qualifications that should be fulfilled. For these courses, the primary requirement is usually that one has to be older than age 16. The person is also expected to have complete Grade 10.

To enroll in such courses at UNISA, students are also meant to be able to read, write and understand the English language, as they are usually offered in English. As you will also get to see, a large chunk of these courses are targeted at a career.

As far as these courses are concerned in UNISA, you don’t need to have a Matric certificate before you can enroll, as it’s not an essential aspect of the entry requirements. So, don’t let anything stop you from progressing in your career because you don’t have a Matric yet. Simply choose any of the above courses and build something worthwhile around them.

Nevertheless, if you don’t fancy any of the courses up there, or they don’t align with your career, you might have to look wider. To do that, have a Matric rewrite and be qualified to get enrolled in a wider array of courses. Here are some of the courses you can opt for, with matric though:
