Who we are
We are an educational centre that assists mainly in Matric Preparation, creating a learning platform for anyone to be able to study and then go and write the Senior Certificate (SC) Examination.
At this stage we are 4 Educators teaching over 98 students, and our numbers are to increase as of this year June.
Our recourses
We supply all learning materials text books and work sheets. We use Caps accredited Text books and source our materials directly from the internet and library.
At this stage, printing is done out of our pockets but we aim to incorporate the printing costs into the General monthly class fee. We are also aiming at charging a class registration fee for attending our classes keeping in mind that Exam registrations and exam papers are free and supplied by the Department Of Basic Education.
​
Our Target Markets and areas
Our market is Education mainly at this stage the Senior Certificate (SC) and adults over 21, but making exceptions for certain people by assisting them with training.
Our target markets are the rural establishments such as people in areas like Kanana, Joberton, Khuma, and Orkney, and surrounding places as far as Potchefstroom.
​
We have a number of competitors like Boston, but our plan is simple and basic, we assist with homework and extra classes, and a positive aspect of our business is that we are the only institution where the examination is free due to the fact that we assist students to register directly with the department of Basic Education The classes costs are kept low so that everyone is able to get a Matric, and not only a selective few.
​
Our only informal competitors are the local freelance tutors, but the advantage we have over them is that they charge per hour and some of their charges are high, and we charge per Month and we keep our price at a constant.
Our Services / Product
We are a service based business. We assist with Matric registrations, as well as with Matric Re-Write Registrations free of chage. The only charges we are administering are for the class fees, Textbook Printing fees, and student card fees, but we are planning to charge a class registration fee in the near future keeping in mind that the Exam registrations are still free of charge.
How it works
What we do is tutor all the selected subjects that the Department allocates and the subjects our students decide to take. Our tutors then tutor these subjects and help them prepare for the exams using all NSC and CAPS approved textbooks and recourses.
Our costs / Prices
Our classes cost R450 per month
Our textbooks : A Key Deposit of R140 is Charged along with a rental fee of R50. Total R190.

Business Premises
At the moment our administration is run from home, and we teach here at the local Library hall. Our future aim is to hire a premise where we are able to teach from and run our offices from. The other advantages of having our own premises will be that we can then register as a FET, HE and GET.
Once we have done this we will then also be able to assist with the examinations on the premises instead of us having to let our students write at a local school or governing body.
