The previous National Curriculum Statement (NCS) new current CAPS curriculum and the Technical Matric (N3) do not combine at all. Passing part of NCS or CAPS and part of Technical Matric cannot be combined to form a single certificate. Students must choose to do one only. Read more on the article here

 

Technical Matric subjects and Old Syllabus Subjects

 

Technical Matric N3 subjects can be combined with Old syllabus subjects. Students who wrote Matric on or before 2007 and did not manage to complete their Senior certificate can add N3 Technical subjects and combine them with the subjects they passed i the old syllabus. The combination is done by the Department of Basic Education.

 

Alternatively students who wrote their Old syllabus in June till 2014 can also combine the subjects they passed with Technical Matric. The most easiest way to put it is that if you wrote matric when it was still Higher Grade and Standard Grade, and symbols A,B,C etc. where used for rating, then you can combine with Technical subjects. However if the Matric you wrote used Levels eg. Level 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. then you cannot combine with Technical Matric. This is because Technical Matric still uses symbols A, B, C, etc. Read more on the following to help you understand further:
