What Does Failing Matric Mean?

Matric exam pass requirements are set up by the National Qualifications Framework(NQF). Failing to meet the minimum pass requirements in your November exams simply means that you are unable to enter into a degree course at this time. However you can still further your education and study a range of courses without having matric. No more asking yourself “What can I Study if I Failed Matric?”. Skills Acaddemy has got you covered.
