Frequently Asked Questions.
SACAI (South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute) is an independent assessment body that offers accredited assessments for learners in the FET phase. It ensures that learners’ achievements are recognized and recorded in line with national educational standards.
No, as an accredited institution, we register your child with SACAI who is directly associated with Umalusi. Umalusi is the Quality Council responsible for issuing of the National Senior Certificate.
SACAI assessments include both continuous assessment tasks (CATs) and final examinations. CATs are assignments, projects, and tests conducted throughout the year, while the final examinations are comprehensive assessments at the end of the academic year. The combination of CATs and final exams contributes to the overall assessment of a subject.
Yes, students who have completed the FET phase with SACAI assessments can apply to higher education institutions using their SACAI results. SACAI works to ensure that assessment outcomes are equivalent to those of other recognized assessment bodies.
Absolutely, completing the FET phase with SACAI assessments opens doors to various pathways. Students can use their qualifications to pursue vocational training, apprenticeships, or enter the workforce directly, depending on their career goals.
Yes, there are fees associated with registering for SACAI assessments. The fee structure varies based on the grade level:
- Grade 10 and 11 Learners: The registration fees for grade 10 and 11 learners are covered within the admission fees. This means that the costs related to registering with SACAI for assessments are included as part of the overall admission package.
- Grade 12 Learners: Grade 12 learners have a separate registration fee that parents are required to pay. This fee covers all expenses related to registering subjects and securing a placement for the writing of the final examinations. These examinations take place at a venue closest to the physical address of the learner.
We understand the importance of transparency when it comes to fees, and we strive to ensure that the registration process is smooth and well-detailed for parents and learners. If you have any specific questions about the fee structure or payment process, feel free to reach out to our admissions team for assistance.
Practical tasks are an important part of the learning experience. At Swales Online Academy, students have the opportunity to complete practical tasks through a combination of methods:
Video Submission Method: For many practical tasks, students will video themselves as they complete the task. This allows them to demonstrate their skills and understanding visually. After recording the video, students can upload it to our secure Learner Portal. This method offers flexibility, allowing students to complete tasks at their own pace and in their chosen environment.
Live Lesson Method: In some cases, practical tasks might be conducted in a live lesson format. If a teacher determines that a particular task would be best completed during a live session, they will schedule a session for the class. During this session, students will follow the teacher’s instructions and perform the task in real-time, allowing for immediate feedback and interaction.
Our aim is to provide a balanced approach to practical tasks, ensuring that students have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills effectively, whether through recorded videos or interactive live lessons. This approach helps maintain the hands-on aspect of learning while leveraging the advantages of online education.
All assessments are conducted online, allowing learners to complete them from the comfort of their own home or a chosen venue. This approach provides flexibility and convenience while maintaining the integrity of the assessment process.
For FORMAL assessments, parents will receive an invigilation form. They are required to nominate an invigilator who will oversee the student during the assessment. The invigilator must be present at the chosen venue throughout the assessment to ensure that exam guidelines and integrity are maintained.
In addition to the parent-invigilator, our educators conduct secondary invigilation. They ensure that the assessment process runs smoothly and that students are adhering to assessment guidelines. This secondary invigilation adds an extra layer of oversight to ensure the validity of the assessments.
To uphold the integrity of assessments, all students are required to write their assessments while being on a live video stream. This practice allows educators and invigilators to monitor students in real-time, ensuring that they are following assessment protocols and preventing any academic misconduct.
For grade 12 learners, the final examination is a significant milestone. These examinations are conducted in person at SACAI registered venues closest to the students’ physical addresses. This approach ensures standardized examination conditions and fairness for all learners.
The Grade 10-12 NSC pass requirements ensure that learners meet the minimum standards for completing their education successfully. The pass requirements are as follows:
- Three Subjects Passed with 40% or More (including the Home Language): To pass the NSC, learners need to achieve a minimum of 40% in at least three subjects, one of which must be their Home Language.
- Three Subjects Passed with 30% or More: In addition to the subjects mentioned above, learners must also achieve a minimum of 30% in three other subjects.
- Failing One Subject with Completed SBA Evidence: Learners are allowed to fail one subject, provided there is substantial evidence that their School-Based Assessment (SBA) for that subject has been completed. The SBA is a component of the assessment process that includes various activities and assignments completed throughout the year.
These pass requirements are designed to ensure that learners demonstrate a basic understanding of a range of subjects while maintaining a focus on essential skills such as their Home Language. It’s important for learners to strive for their best performance across all subjects to achieve a well-rounded education.
Accommodations and concessions are strategies designed to support learners who face challenges in their learning journey and may not be able to take assessments or examinations under standard conditions. These measures are intended to create an inclusive environment that allows all learners an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and abilities.
- Accommodations: Accommodations involve making adjustments to the assessment conditions to better suit a learner’s needs. For instance, learners with specific learning needs might be provided with extra time to complete an assessment or a quieter environment to reduce distractions.
- Concessions: Concessions are modifications made to the assessment process to ensure that learners facing difficulties have a fair chance to succeed. These modifications might include providing a reader or a scribe for learners with reading or writing challenges.
Accommodations and concessions are not meant to provide unfair advantages to any individual. Instead, their purpose is to level the playing field and ensure that all learners have an equal opportunity to showcase their abilities. By removing barriers to learning, these measures aim to create a fair and inclusive assessment environment.
Decisions about accommodations and concessions are typically based on careful consideration of a learner’s specific needs and circumstances. Educators, specialists, and educational psychologists may be involved in assessing the learner’s requirements and determining the appropriate support measures.
It’s important to note that accommodations and concessions are designed to uphold the principle of fairness and provide every learner with the opportunity to succeed, regardless of any challenges they may face.

NSC matric certificates are issued by Umalusi, the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training. These certificates are typically made available by July of the year following the final examinations.
Once the NSC matric certificates are issued by Umalusi, they are sent directly to Swales Online Academy. We will then make arrangements to securely send the matric certificates to the Grade 12 learners.
Matric examination results are usually made available at the beginning of the year following the final examinations. This allows learners to view their results and gain insight into their performance.
We understand that receiving the NSC matric certificate is an important milestone for learners, and we work diligently to ensure that the certificates are securely delivered to the students in a timely manner. Please stay tuned for updates and communications regarding the distribution of matric certificates and the availability of results.
