- 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

• EFT
• Credit Card
• Monthly via Debit Order
