  • Courses must be accredited by the Department of Higher Education, SAQA, SETA or Umalusi

Studying Full time

  • You’ll need someone to sign surety on your loan*
  • While you’re studying, your surety pays the monthly interest and service fees
  • You start repaying the loan once you’ve finished studying
  • If it takes you a while to find a job, you can ask for a grace period
  • Grace periods can be extended for articles, internships or community service
  • Your loan can be insured, so that any amount owed can be settled in the event of disability, dread disease or death

Studying Part time

  • You’ll only need someone to sign surety on your loan if you earn less than R 5 000 a month*
  • Monthly repayments are made by debit order while you’re studying
  • There are no early settlement penalties
  • If you quit your studies, the full outstanding amount is due immediately
