Students have instant access to all 30 subjects once enrolled.  See Curriculum.  A blended approach of using text books and the video content is recommended for students studying for the International GCSE exam. Students studying the program for pre GED do not require text books at all.

Enrolled students receive a Study Guide with Assignments on most topics of the subjects they have chosen. These consist of  multiple choice questions and quizzes to check the knowledge of the student. Feedback is automatic and marks are displayed on the program for a tutor or parent to refer to. This makes it very easy to find exactly which area or lesson the student needs to improve on. Revision is automatically assigned to the student by means of boost playlists. To see a breakdown of the Assignments go to Curriculum.

The price is based on an annual fee of R5800 per student including VAT. (Registrations are open throughout the year based on our quarterly start dates.) This will enable the student to log into the program every day and complete the work assigned to them from their weekly schedule.
