We partner with CAIE registered exam centres to allow complete alignment of all learning material.

Are learners able to attend university after they matriculate at Wingu Academy?
Yes.
British international qualifications are highly regarded by all South African universities (and all universities worldwide).
Is the British International Curriculum recognised in South Africa and abroad?
The Advanced Subsidiary (AS) level is equivalent of Gr.12/Matric in SA and is recognised by UMALUSI (the SA Matriculation Board) as the equivalent of a Senior Certificate (NQF4) which is a necessary requirement for University entrance. AS level courses are aimed at students of 16 years and above who have completed either International GCSE or Gr. 11.
Please note that the South African CAPS curriculum is only accepted in a select few universities worldwide, and if emigration is your aim, we strongly encourage a British international syllabus.
