SACOB’s Admissions Desk incorporates the SACOB Student Entrance Admissions and Conduct Procedure as well as the Policies and Procedures of our accrediting bodies. Admissions is concerned with age, prior and accredited learning and previous work experience. The admissions desk deals with quality management, student fees, student admissions criteria, assessment procedures, privacy, security and terms of use.

• Admissions Policy and Procedure
  

  SACOB supports the admissions guidelines on the South African Qualifications Framework (SAQA) and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). We are accredited by numerous Quality Assurance bodies and Institutions both Nationally and Internationally. Aside from SACOB’s own Student Entrance Admissions and Conduct Procedure these Institutions all have their Policies and Procedures.

• Student Fees
  

  • SACOB’s fees are straightforward with no hidden costs.

  • They include all your study material as well as free delivery within South Africa.

  • Students pay for a full learning programme / qualification or a short course with either the Home Study Package or the Online Classroom Package.

  • Plus, SACOB is an educational institution which is exempt from VAT so there are no additional costs when you get your final invoice – what you see listed as our tuition fee is exactly what you pay. All you need to still do (or have us do it for you) is complete the Professional Body registration form and pay the exam/assessment fees.

  • If you would prefer, SACOB will complete all forms and submit on your behalf, all you need to do is pay the necessary fees such as membership fees, annual fees, exam fees, exemption fees to us and we will transfer it across for you or if you’d prefer you can pay it directly to the Institute. Either way, we here every step of the way.

• Payment Methods
  

  We have 3 easy ways to pay for your studies:

  • EFT (receive 5% savings when paying upfront)

  • Credit Card

  • Monthly via Debit Order (Chat to us about a personalised payment plan to suit your budget and pocket)

  *Interest Free – SACOB Students pay no interest

  Something to note: You will receive your next set of course material every 3 months. If you wanting to complete your qualification sooner then chat to us about a payment plan that would suit you.

  Additional subsidies apply when enrolling for qualifications, this makes walking away with a full qualification more affordable.

  Chat to us about your own personalised payment plan that can suit you, we’re here to help.
