National Senior Certificate Pass Requirements
The NSC pass requirements have changed tremendously with the introduction of CAPS. The basic concept revolves around a minimum pass requirement but also three other levels that determine your further study options. The three levels are
- Higher Certificate
- Diploma
- Bachelors Degree
