The necessary form is accessible at the SAVC website (http://www.savc.org.za). After completing it, students must get it stamped at any UNISA center. For finalizing the registration, liaise with SAVC at 012 345-6347 / 6360 or fax at 012 345-6369. Students must be SAVC-registered before undertaking their Work Integrated Learning (WIL). Without completing all practical modules, graduation is not possible.

Delivery Method: This qualification uses a blended approach of both online and distance learning.

Registration Eligibility: Only those with official application approval from Unisa can initiate the registration for 2016. For those intending to shift to a different qualification, application during the next application window is necessary.

Module Selection: Your qualification journey at Unisa is structured. To graduate, you must pass a specific number of modules within a set duration:

1. Year 1: Minimum 36 NQF credits (3 modules of 12 credits each)
2. Year 2 and beyond: Minimum 48 NQF credits (4 modules of 12 credits each)

However, there’s a cap on the number of credits/modules you can register for each semester:

• Up to 60 NQF credits (5 modules of 12 credits each) per semester.
• Up to 120 NQF credits (10 modules of 12 credits each) annually for year-long modules.

The credit count excludes supplementary and/or aegrotat exams from prior semesters. Non-degree/non-diploma purpose modules are also counted towards the maximum credits.
