What do I need to register?
Grade 7 – 9
- Birth certificate/identity documents for the learner, parent, and account holder.
- A computer or laptop with internet access and a reliable email address.

Requirements of homeschooling and how Impaq will assist you through the process.
Policy requirement
Parents should register their children for home education with their Provincial Education Department (PED).
Parents need to compile a portfolio of evidence (containing the activities and assessments) for every child.
Parents must provide the PED with feedback on the learner’s progress. Progress must be assessed by qualified teachers registered with the South African Council of Educators (SACE).
Parents can follow any curriculum that meets the minimum outcomes as set out in the national curriculum.
Parents are responsible for the education of their children. Tutorial or other educational support may be enlisted as needed.
Learners in the FET Phase (Grades 10 to 12) must be registered with an assessment body.
What Impaq offers
Impaq assists with information on the necessary steps to follow to register with the PED.
Our offering includes portfolio activities that assist parents in building a portfolio of evidence for every child.
Impaq provides parents with progress reports, which could be provided to the PED at the end of every phase. We make use of qualified teachers as per the policy requirements to develop all our assessments. For quality purposes, assessments can also be sent to Impaq for marking.
Registration with Impaq ensures that learners follow the national CAPS-aligned curriculum.
Impaq equips parents with all the materials needed to be the primary educator. Supporting tutorial services are subject to the restrictions contained in the policy.
Assessment bodies do not register independent candidates. FET learners, therefore, must register with a curriculum provider, who is registered with an assessment body. Impaq is registered with SACAI, which ensures the credibility of the NSC.
