1. Curated online curriculum

Our curriculum has been designed specifically for online learning, and is tailored to the latest government specifications. All learning materials are available online so no additional textbooks are needed (except for required setwork books for language subjects).

2. Structured flexibility

We’ve designed our programme with the principle of structured flexibility in mind. This means that there are deadlines for modules, but you can schedule your learning time around your other responsibilities. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, you can decide when you’re ready to tackle your modules.

3. Accountability mechanisms

Our learning dashboard tracks your progress. We’ve put mechanisms in place to alert you when you’re falling behind. This system helps to keep you motivated to stay on track with your studies.

4. Peer engagement

Our peer-to-peer forum is there for adult learners to make friends, share notes, form study groups and generally connect as they encourage one another on their path to success.

Our learners receive an examination readiness assessment for each subject, with graded feedback. Past papers are also provided. We also host an Examination Bootcamp to teach learners how to approach each exam with all the latest thinking and hot tips.

6. Multi-layered support

We believe that having a multi-layered support system is vital for academic success. UCT Online High School has an amazing group of Admission Consultants, Support Advisors and Technical Support to make sure you’re staying on track with your work.
