How Does SACAI Work?
SACAI operates as an assessment body and does not directly offer educational programs. Instead, it partners with accredited distance education providers who deliver the CAPS curriculum.
Learners enrol with these providers to receive instruction and complete Continuous Assessment (CASS) tasks, contributing 25% to their final NSC mark. The remaining 75% is derived from the final examinations administered by SACAI.
These exams are conducted at SACAI-accredited centres, ensuring standardized assessment conditions.
SACAI Offers
SACAI offers unit standards-based summative assessments for:
- National Senior Certificate (NSC)
- General Education and Training Certificate: Adult Basic Education and Training (GETC: ABET): This qualification caters to adult learners aiming to achieve foundational education.
