The difference between the Premium and Standard packages?

Both packages give you access to our world-class content, Live Lessons, and marked assessments. If you鈥檙e less in need of interaction from the teachers on the platform, the Standard package is for you.

With the Premium subscription, you will have the added benefit of direct access to our professionally trained teachers through the online chat feature on the Student Dashboard. This means that you can ask your teachers specific questions and receive a personal reply in a private chat. Also included is an additional online Q&A group session each week with the teacher and classmates to work through student questions or additional exercises.

You can purchase courses on different packages as required.

How do I register for an external exam?

British Curriculum:

IGCSE, AS Levels & A Level students must write external exams at an exam centre accredited by CAIE/The British Council.聽

You will need to find out where the closest centre is to you and be sure to book exams ahead of time (approx. 4 months) as there are cut-off times for these bookings. These exams are charged for, please be sure to confirm costs directly with the centre well ahead of time.聽

British curriculum external exams are written in two sessions per year, in May/June and October/November.

You can find exam centres here /info/exam-centres

or you can contact Tutors and Exams here

CAPS:

In Grade 12, final exams are written at an external exam centre. CambriLearn will register Grade 12 learners with SACAI who will allocate an exam venue to the learner where they will write their Grade 12 matriculation examinations. These exams can only be written in South Africa, therefore international students will need to travel to South Africa on a study permit to write their matriculation Exams.

Exam fees will be confirmed upon registration for Grade 12.

How do I know which subjects to take?

If you are unsure of which subjects to take, we suggest that you speak to one of our Educational Consultants as they will be able to guide you through your choices.

High School students may consider taking a subject choice assessment. 聽

How will my studies be flexible?

British Curriculum:聽

This curriculum is flexible, and you will be able to start at any time of the year.

The courses are self-paced and do not align with any specific calendar dates. You will schedule time off and holidays as suits you best.聽

Bear in mind, the courses are based on a 30鈥34-week program and the subscriptions are valid for 12 months (52 weeks). Subscriptions can be extended if needed.聽

Note that Live Lessons will start with the topic covered in 'Week 1' each January. Should you start at a different time of the year, the Live Lesson topic each week may not correlate with the content that you are currently working on. Students are still encouraged to join live lessons as they will serve as an introduction to upcoming topics or revision for topics already covered and the teacher's guidance and interaction are invaluable.聽

These lessons are recorded, and students can access the recorded lessons at any time. The recorded lesson library is utilised by students who are unable to attend Live Lessons or for revision purposes. The recorded lessons are valid / current no matter the date that they were uploaded as the topic and content covered remains applicable to the course.聽

At IGCSE, AS and A levels external exams are available twice a year in May/June and October / November. Please keep this in mind and plan accordingly. The courses are designed to prepare students for these exams, and they are advised to complete them, allowing at least 6 weeks for revision and past papers.

NB: IGCSE, AS and A Level student; be sure to register to write external exams with an accredited exam center at least 4 months ahead of time.

颁础笔厂:听

This curriculum follows the South African Government school term dates (National Curriculum). There is some flexibility as you can structure your child鈥檚 day-to-day learning in the way that suits you best. They are, however, expected to complete the coursework and assessments for a particular term, by the end of that term. This is closely monitored in the FET Phase (Grades 10-12).

How do the lessons / classes work?
  • Step 1: There is a calendar at the top of the student dashboard, scheduled live lessons will be listed underneath it. Please scroll through them and click on the lesson you would like to attend. The lesson details will then appear in the blue block on the right-hand side, click on the 'Attending' button for that lesson.
  • Step 2: Just before the lesson is due to start, the button will change to green and 'Attending' will change to 'Join Now'.
  • Step 3: Click on 'Join Now', the lesson window will open automatically for you.

NOTE:

Live Lessons are available in both Standard and Premium packages. Not all subjects have Live Lessons, please consult your timetable here /info/timetables

CambriLearn鈥 Live Lessons follow the SAST time zone. It may affect the attendance of live lessons if your device is not aligned with the SAST time zone. Make sure the following time zone is set on your device: (UTC+02:00) Harare, Pretoria.

Zoom is required for this functionality to work. Please ensure that it is downloaded to your device ahead of time (you will only have to download Zoom once).

A dedicated study space and basic stationery to complete assignments, make notes and study.聽

From a technology perspective, we recommend an uncapped internet connection. Our learning platform can be accessed from laptops and tablets alike. Mobile phones can be used to access information/videos but are less versatile for daily learning.

A printer is convenient, however, print shops can be utilised as an alternative. Access to a scanner or mobile scanning app is required.

Finally, you'll also need to purchase textbooks (where applicable) which are used to supplement the course content.

Do you cater for special needs?

Although our teachers aren't special needs trained, we do find many dyslexic /on-spectrum students prefer our platform simply because of the self-paced nature of learning. Students can take their time and work at a pace that's comfortable for them. It is something that needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis and depends on severity.聽

With us, students don't take as many subjects as they do in traditional school, which also helps them a lot. Additionally, we can offer students concessions for their special needs. You can download the CambriLearn Special Needs Toolkit to find out how we cater to special needs students /pages/online-schooling-for-special-needs-toolkit

How do I request a report card?

International British Curriculum:

Report cards can only be generated if the student has completed all formal assessments. If a student has not completed all formal assessments, you will not be able to get a report card.

Please follow these steps to request a report card:

Step 1: Log in to the guardian profile and click on the relevant student's name.

Step 2: If all assessments have been completed and marked for all the courses of the applicable level, click on the 'Request Report Card' button in the top right corner.

Step 3: Select all the courses for that level and click on the 'Submit' button.

The report card will be sent by email as soon as it has been approved. Please note, the guardian profile needs to be linked to the student profile if you would like to request the report card.

CAPS Curriculum:

- CAPS Report cards are automatically generated once all the Term's assessments have been completed and marked.

- Please note that report cards will only be generated once the learner has completed all formal assessments for that Term.

Can I upload bulk submissions?

It is advised that students submit one assessment for marking at a time per subject. This is to ensure that students are working through the coursework and assessments in a systematic way, building on their knowledge as they progress. It also means that students get maximum benefit from their teacher's comments and corrections on marked papers and can learn from their mistakes before moving on. This is recommended.聽

When students submit multiple papers for marking at once, this is considered a 'bulk submission'. This is discouraging as it puts the student at a disadvantage and extends marking times. The aim of assessments is to gauge student progress and to test understanding and knowledge. By rushing through assessments and not waiting for feedback in between, students do not have the opportunity to learn from previous errors and correct them, thereby improving their understanding and academic performance. Students are encouraged to take their time and to complete each assessment to the best of their ability.

Teachers aim to mark student assessments within an 8-working day period. They will mark it sooner than this when they have the capacity to do so. When you submit assessments in bulk, each assessment submission date will be staggered by 2 days each. This means that the overall marking time will be extended.聽

Therefore, there is little advantage to submitting assessments in bulk.

How soon will my assignments be marked and sent back to me?

As per our Terms and Conditions, marking of assessments usually takes place within 8 working days from the date on which the completed assessments are uploaded. However, this period is an estimate only and is dependent on multiple factors including the volume of assessments submitted.

Is IEB harder than SACAI?

CambriLearn offers an IEB-aligned approach for Grade 10, based on the South African National Curriculum (CAPS). This pathway emphasises critical thinking, problem-solving and the practical application of knowledge. Grade 10 learners can choose between two examination boards; the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) or the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SACAI).

While both follow CAPS and lead to the same Umalusi-accredited National Senior Certificate (NSC), the key difference lies in their assessment styles: IEB places greater emphasis on analytical and application-based evaluations, whereas SACAI focuses on structured, standardised assessments. Both pathways provide credible routes to university admissions locally and internationally.

What is the difference between IEB and CAPS?

CAPS and IEB both provide quality education, they do so in different ways, catering to diverse learning styles and goals. CAPS follows a structured, standardised system focused on exams and formal assessments, ensuring consistency and a solid foundation in core subjects. IEB, combines exams with project-based and analytical assessments, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving and real world application of knowledge. Read the full article to learn more.

Here are the key differences between CAPS and IEB to consider:

Assessment styles: CAPS primarily relies on standardised examinations and formal assessments to measure student progress. Each subject has a defined set of exams, tests, and practical assessments, which ensures consistency across schools. In contrast, the IEB combines examinations with project-based and analytical assessments, encouraging students to apply knowledge in practical or real-world contexts. This approach develops problem-solving skills and independent thinking, allowing learners to demonstrate understanding beyond memorisation.

Content depth and learning approach: CAPS is structured to provide clear, sequential learning outcomes, often emphasising memorisation and step-by-step mastery of concepts. It ensures learners gain a solid foundation in core subjects but can be more prescriptive in approach. The IEB, on the other hand, focuses on critical thinking and analytical skills, encouraging learners to explore topics in greater depth and engage with material creatively. This method allows students to develop the ability to question, reason, and make connections between different areas of knowledge.

University readiness and career pathways: both curricula prepare learners for tertiary education, but the approach varies. CAPS provides a structured path to meet national matriculation requirements and ensures students are equipped with the essential knowledge needed for further study or vocational training. IEB, with its focus on critical thinking, independent learning, and broader application of knowledge, is often seen as preparing students more directly for the demands of university and professional careers. Its assessments aim to foster self-directed learning and intellectual independence, skills that can be particularly valuable in higher education and complex work environments.

How do I sign up to CambriLearn as a new student?

Every student requires their own profile. A guardian/tutor profile can be linked to multiple students.

On this page you can select the curriculum (British, Edexcel, CAPS or Extracurricular) the package (Standard or Premium), and the grade. To add subjects to the cart, simply click on the 'add to cart' button.
  • Step 9: Once you鈥檙e ready, you can click on the shopping cart icon. Check the list and make any required changes. You can remove a subject by clicking the 'x' next to it.

Once payment is allocated, and subscriptions are activated, the student can log in to the platform and start learning.

Do you cater for special needs?

Although our teachers aren't special needs trained, we do find many dyslexic /on-spectrum students prefer our platform simply because of the self-paced nature of learning. Students can take their time and work at a pace that's comfortable for them. It is something that needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis and depends on severity.聽

With us, students don't take as many subjects as they do in traditional school, which also helps them a lot. Additionally, we can offer students concessions for their special needs. You can download the CambriLearn Special Needs Toolkit to find out how we cater to special needs students /pages/online-schooling-for-special-needs-toolkit

What is required to study with CambriLearn?

A dedicated study space and basic stationery to complete assignments, make notes and study.聽

From a technology perspective, we recommend an uncapped internet connection. Our learning platform can be accessed from laptops and tablets alike. Mobile phones can be used to access information/videos but are less versatile for daily learning.

A printer is convenient, however, print shops can be utilised as an alternative. Access to a scanner or mobile scanning app is required.

Finally, you'll also need to purchase textbooks (where applicable) which are used to supplement the course content.

Is CambriLearn a registered school?

CambriLearn is both a SACAI registered and IEB registered online school in South Africa. We are also internationally accredited by Cognia and Pearson Edexcel. High school students enrolled in the British Curriculum will write external exams as private candidates and will receive their certificates directly from the examining body. CambriLearn is also NCAA Approved and NCAA Eligible for US Curriculum students.

Are the teachers qualified?

Yes, all of our teachers are qualified, most of them having many years of experience teaching the relevant syllabi. Many of our Cambridge teachers have had top students in South Africa and have had students placed top 3 in the world for their respective subjects.

British Curriculum:聽

This curriculum is flexible, and you will be able to start at any time of the year.

Bear in mind, the courses are based on a 30鈥34-week program and the subscriptions are valid for 12 months (52 weeks). Subscriptions can be extended if needed.聽

Note that Live Lessons will start with the topic covered in 'Week 1' each January. Should you start at a different time of the year, the Live Lesson topic each week may not correlate with the content that you are currently working on. Students are still encouraged to join live lessons as they will serve as an introduction to upcoming topics or revision for topics already covered and the teacher's guidance and interaction are invaluable.聽

These lessons are recorded, and students can access the recorded lessons at any time. The recorded lesson library is utilised by students who are unable to attend Live Lessons or for revision purposes. The recorded lessons are valid / current no matter the date that they were uploaded as the topic and content covered remains applicable to the course.聽

At IGCSE, AS and A levels external exams are available twice a year in May/June and October / November. Please keep this in mind and plan accordingly. The courses are designed to prepare students for these exams, and they are advised to complete them, allowing at least 6 weeks for revision and past papers.

NB: IGCSE, AS and A Level student; be sure to register to write external exams with an accredited exam center at least 4 months ahead of time.

颁础笔厂:听

There is some flexibility as you can structure your child鈥檚 day-to-day learning in the way that suits you best.

What are the payment options?

When you purchase a course on our site, you agree to our terms and conditions which state (Section 3):

When you subscribe you will have the option to pay via Credit Card, Debit Card (Mastercard or Visa) or EFT.

If you elect to pay by Credit Card, you may: (i) pay the full amount upfront; or (ii) pay the amount off over 10 months (at an additional charge).

If you elect to pay by way of EFT, an invoice will be emailed to you, and you are required to pay 100% upfront (no payment plan options via EFT). Once we have received 100% of the funds, we will activate your subscription and access to our site.

Should you wish to cancel your subscription please contact us at hello@cambrilearn.com. Please note that a cancellation fee may be charged.

NOTE: When you pay by card, choosing the 10-month payment plan, you agree to 10 equal USD instalments to be deducted from the card you provide, for 10 consecutive months.

How will my studies be flexible?

British Curriculum:聽

This curriculum is flexible, and you will be able to start at any time of the year.

The courses are self-paced and do not align with any specific calendar dates. You will schedule time off and holidays as suits you best.聽

Bear in mind, the courses are based on a 30鈥34-week program and the subscriptions are valid for 12 months (52 weeks). Subscriptions can be extended if needed.聽

Note that Live Lessons will start with the topic covered in 'Week 1' each January. Should you start at a different time of the year, the Live Lesson topic each week may not correlate with the content that you are currently working on. Students are still encouraged to join live lessons as they will serve as an introduction to upcoming topics or revision for topics already covered and the teacher's guidance and interaction are invaluable.聽

These lessons are recorded, and students can access the recorded lessons at any time. The recorded lesson library is utilised by students who are unable to attend Live Lessons or for revision purposes. The recorded lessons are valid / current no matter the date that they were uploaded as the topic and content covered remains applicable to the course.聽

At IGCSE, AS and A levels external exams are available twice a year in May/June and October / November. Please keep this in mind and plan accordingly. The courses are designed to prepare students for these exams, and they are advised to complete them, allowing at least 6 weeks for revision and past papers.

NB: IGCSE, AS and A Level student; be sure to register to write external exams with an accredited exam center at least 4 months ahead of time.

颁础笔厂:听

This curriculum follows the South African Government school term dates (National Curriculum). There is some flexibility as you can structure your child鈥檚 day-to-day learning in the way that suits you best. They are, however, expected to complete the coursework and assessments for a particular term, by the end of that term. This is closely monitored in the FET Phase (Grades 10-12).

Do you cater for special needs?

Although our teachers aren't special needs trained, we do find many dyslexic /on-spectrum students prefer our platform simply because of the self-paced nature of learning. Students can take their time and work at a pace that's comfortable for them. It is something that needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis and depends on severity.聽

With us, students don't take as many subjects as they do in traditional school, which also helps them a lot. Additionally, we can offer students concessions for their special needs. You can download the CambriLearn Special Needs Toolkit to find out how we cater to special needs students /pages/online-schooling-for-special-needs-toolkit

How do I request a report card?

International British Curriculum:

Report cards can only be generated if the student has completed all formal assessments. If a student has not completed all formal assessments, you will not be able to get a report card.

Please follow these steps to request a report card:

Step 1: Log in to the guardian profile and click on the relevant student's name.

Step 2: If all assessments have been completed and marked for all the courses of the applicable level, click on the 'Request Report Card' button in the top right corner.

Step 3: Select all the courses for that level and click on the 'Submit' button.

The report card will be sent by email as soon as it has been approved. Please note, the guardian profile needs to be linked to the student profile if you would like to request the report card.

CAPS Curriculum:

- CAPS Report cards are automatically generated once all the Term's assessments have been completed and marked.

- Please note that report cards will only be generated once the learner has completed all formal assessments for that Term.

Assessments & Progress
Can I upload bulk submissions?

It is advised that students submit one assessment for marking at a time per subject. This is to ensure that students are working through the coursework and assessments in a systematic way, building on their knowledge as they progress. It also means that students get maximum benefit from their teacher's comments and corrections on marked papers and can learn from their mistakes before moving on. This is recommended.聽

When students submit multiple papers for marking at once, this is considered a 'bulk submission'. This is discouraging as it puts the student at a disadvantage and extends marking times. The aim of assessments is to gauge student progress and to test understanding and knowledge. By rushing through assessments and not waiting for feedback in between, students do not have the opportunity to learn from previous errors and correct them, thereby improving their understanding and academic performance. Students are encouraged to take their time and to complete each assessment to the best of their ability.

Teachers aim to mark student assessments within an 8-working day period. They will mark it sooner than this when they have the capacity to do so. When you submit assessments in bulk, each assessment submission date will be staggered by 2 days each. This means that the overall marking time will be extended.聽

Therefore, there is little advantage to submitting assessments in bulk.

Assessments & Progress
How soon will my assignments be marked and sent back to me?

As per our Terms and Conditions, marking of assessments usually takes place within 8 working days from the date on which the completed assessments are uploaded. However, this period is an estimate only and is dependent on multiple factors including the volume of assessments submitted.

Is IEB harder than SACAI?

CambriLearn offers an IEB-aligned approach for Grade 10, based on the South African National Curriculum (CAPS). This pathway emphasises critical thinking, problem-solving and the practical application of knowledge. Grade 10 learners can choose between two examination boards; the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) or the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SACAI).

While both follow CAPS and lead to the same Umalusi-accredited National Senior Certificate (NSC), the key difference lies in their assessment styles: IEB places greater emphasis on analytical and application-based evaluations, whereas SACAI focuses on structured, standardised assessments. Both pathways provide credible routes to university admissions locally and internationally.

What is the difference between IEB and CAPS?

CAPS and IEB both provide quality education, they do so in different ways, catering to diverse learning styles and goals. CAPS follows a structured, standardised system focused on exams and formal assessments, ensuring consistency and a solid foundation in core subjects. IEB, combines exams with project-based and analytical assessments, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving and real world application of knowledge. Read the full article to learn more.

Here are the key differences between CAPS and IEB to consider:

Assessment styles: CAPS primarily relies on standardised examinations and formal assessments to measure student progress. Each subject has a defined set of exams, tests, and practical assessments, which ensures consistency across schools. In contrast, the IEB combines examinations with project-based and analytical assessments, encouraging students to apply knowledge in practical or real-world contexts. This approach develops problem-solving skills and independent thinking, allowing learners to demonstrate understanding beyond memorisation.

Content depth and learning approach: CAPS is structured to provide clear, sequential learning outcomes, often emphasising memorisation and step-by-step mastery of concepts. It ensures learners gain a solid foundation in core subjects but can be more prescriptive in approach. The IEB, on the other hand, focuses on critical thinking and analytical skills, encouraging learners to explore topics in greater depth and engage with material creatively. This method allows students to develop the ability to question, reason, and make connections between different areas of knowledge.

University readiness and career pathways: both curricula prepare learners for tertiary education, but the approach varies. CAPS provides a structured path to meet national matriculation requirements and ensures students are equipped with the essential knowledge needed for further study or vocational training. IEB, with its focus on critical thinking, independent learning, and broader application of knowledge, is often seen as preparing students more directly for the demands of university and professional careers. Its assessments aim to foster self-directed learning and intellectual independence, skills that can be particularly valuable in higher education and complex work environments.
