Cape Town Creative Academy 2024 Application And Registration: How to apply:

STEP 1: DETERMINE APS BASED ON LATEST ACADEMIC RESULTS

In order to apply at the CTCA, a candidate needs a National Senior Certificate (NSC) or an Independent Examination Board (IEB) certificate with an APS of at least 22.  Applications must include the applicant’s most recent Grade 12 academic report in order to calculate an APS according to the following values. Applicants who do not have a South African NSC or IEB qualification, (eg Cambridge International Examinations or O and A levels from various foreign examination boards)  will need to apply for Matriculation exemption from the Matriculation Board at Higher Education South Africa. (Visit the HESA website at www.hesa-enrol.ac.za.) Non-South African citizens must submit their school-leaving certificates – translated to English – to SAQA for evaluation (www.saqa.org.za). Applicants over 23 years of age, without Matric exemption, will also be considered, based on mature or current competence (see RPL).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Accumulation and Transfer (CAT)

The CTCA  adheres to the principles of RPL as set forth by SAQA in the “National Policy for the Implementation of Recognition of Prior Learning” (March 2013) and the “Policy for Credit Accumulation and Transfer within the National Qualifications Framework (December 2014). 
RPL is awarded:

  • on the basis of completion, or partial completion of learning programmes in a similar vocational field, on an appropriate NQF level, or
  • professional experience within a relevant vocational field, in the case of applicants that are 23 years of age or older.

THE CTCA provides credit accumulation and transfer (CAT) to students who wish to transfer from other institutions that offer similar programmes.

In order to qualify for RPL/CAT candidates must submit: 
In order to determine a candidate’s accumulated credit transfer the Academic Committee will arrange an interview with the candidate (in person or via Skype) to assess the relevance and standard of prior learning or vocational experience. In compliance with national policy, the CTCA awards a maximum of 180 credits (of the 360 necessary to complete a BA qualification) to candidates who successfully provide evidence of an appropriate level of competency and/or experience.
Due to the specialised nature of programmes offered by the CTCA, candidates might however be expected to complete specific foundation year courses, despite their completion of a first year course at another institution. In this event, candidates receive financial discount on the tuition costs of their foundation year courses.
