Please read this before joining the school
Coming from someone that's been with the school for 4 years, joining this school was the worst decision I've ever made. it's advertised as an online school but you teach yourself EVERYTHING, sessions with teachers are once a week for one hour so what exactly are students being taught in such a short amount of time? Please only come to this school if you're already a top student (your chances of succeeding with this school are better) and not an average student like me because this school isn't made for the average student, you teach yourself EVERYTHING and I don't think a lot of people realize how difficult this actually is. I can't even count how many times the school has changed the way modules are done, how soon they can be done, how to submit cycle test/exams, support coaches, what you can and cannot appeal, you always have to adjust to something new every couple of months, the school just seems unsure in the way they provide students with learning materials and the technical errors are endless here and absolutely no remorse is shown when its something that was absolutely out of your control, invigilator app glitches and doesn't let you write a test/exam ? you'll still get a zero even though there's proof (screenshots/videos), missing out on marks (unfairly) at this school is something you just have to get used to unfortunately... The lack of interaction here is out of this world, I used to be a social person and now I'm anxious whenever I leave the house. Parents if you cannot create an environment where your child actually has days or some sort of activity where they interact with their own peers on a regular basis DO NOT enroll them with this school. I missed out on so much that I should have experienced during my teenage years and unfortunately I'll never get that period of my life back. This school put me through so much stress... so I write this in hopes that a parent or child will see this and think twice before enrolling with the school. the chances of failure literally QUADRUPLE at this school.

Worst decision I’ve ever made !!!!
UCT's online invigilation system is a disaster!!! . As a matric student, I've experienced firsthand the constant glitches, freezes, and outright failures of the app (way too many learners didn’t even get to write at all). It's incredibly stressful trying to focus on exams when you're constantly battling with a malfunctioning system. The worst part is the lack of support. We're told to reach out to support coaches who promise a response within minutes, but we're often ghosted…. literally. When the app crashes, we're told to just suck it up because there's nothing they can do. But how can we be expected to complete exams when the technology is failing us? UCT needs to take responsibility for these issues and invest in a reliable online invigilation system. The current system is not only stressful but also unfair to students. We deserve a better experience, and we deserve to be supported when things go wrong. UCT you truly have failed us yoh. and to anyone reading this ANY OTHER SCHOOL IS BETTER THAN THIS !!!!!
