Helderberg College South Africa
Our academic year is made up of just two semesters, with between 65 – 70 lecture days.
Registration takes place at the beginning of each semester, but if you’re registering for the first time, make sure you read the registration section of the Prospectus carefully so that you bring the right documents. All new students also get to enjoy a fun-filled orientation programme at the beginning of the semester, so you can get to know your College and peers better.
When applying, remember that we also consider students that might qualify for Recognition of Prior Learning. That means that through an RPL Portfolio Course, an English test and interview, the College will recognize that a learner has sufficiently mastered the content of parts of a course of study prior to the degree applied for, either formally or informally, and will grant formal recognition for that knowledge. Please note that a limited number of students can be admitted through this route.

Take note that the medium of instruction at Helderberg College of Higher Education is English. English must therefore be one of the languages that you passed during High School.
Submit all documents which are relevant to the completion of your high school qualification to the Admissions Committee. Please see the list below:
- A copy of your passport and a photo
- Your high school / school-leaving certificate. If you are still in your final year of high school, please submit your latest examination results. Provide a certified English translation if your certificate is in another language.

Only once you have completed the Advanced Level and have passed a final language test at Helderberg College of Higher Education, will you be allowed to register for College study programmes.
On the other hand, you must have completed the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score of at least 550 (paper-based test), or at least 213 (computer-based test) before you may proceed to Helderberg College of Higher Education.

In certain cases, you may be asked to submit your school leaving certificate for evaluation by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The Admissions Office will tell you if this is necessary. You can find forms and information on the SAQA website (www.saqa.org.za).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND PROGRAMME-SPECIFIC SELECTION REQUIREMENTS:
