Nope, if you read a tad further (next line in fact):


I did come right though, I phoned the call centre and for a change had a well-spoken young lady that managed to assist me with the correct details.

for anybody interested:

or alternatively to dissuade any right thinking individual of wanting to enroll their spawn in an institution that cannot get the basics right.

Thus the frustration continues...

UJ and WITS didnt accept him, and I've been floundering around looking for alternatives. UNISA will take him, but he cannot be registered until he has his Matric certificate in hand, which is due only mid January 2012. In the interim I am looking for institutions that offer diploma courses and the like, and have been hitting brick walls stacked like dominoes. Most of the "big name" colleges e.g. Boston and Damlin, are not registered, nor accredited with the Educational department (believe it or not), and the R30k odd payment you pay Boston for their IT qualification isnt worth the paper its printed on.

So yesterday I hit upon this place:

Sounds great, they're registered with the correct instances, they offer diploma and degree courses, they're internationally affiliated (Belgium) and they assist with internships (local and international) after course completion. So I'm keen, and they've got space for the lad for next year. Costs for 1st year is around R40k, lots of money, but one can make a plan (sell something iow). However, one thing that really annoyed me.... they're freaking affiliated with the RCC, the whole palava about xtian education continues. The kid's going to have to suck it up if we decide to go with this. *sigh*
