Umalusi confirms phasing out of N1-N3 exams and changes to NC(V) assessments
via The Citizen1 hour ago2 min read
Umalusi, South Africa's quality assurance body, has announced significant changes to the post-school education and training system. The Nated Report 190/191 N1-N3 programmes have entered a phase-out period, with Umalusi no longer issuing new N3 certificates after registrations closed in 2023. Existing N3 certificates remain valid, and Umalusi will continue to handle re-issues and replacements. The formal wind-down process for Nated N1-N3 programmes began on January 1, 2024, with 2025 being the final year for Umalusi to quality assure N2-N3 examinations and issue N3 certificates. Additionally, Umalusi is no longer responsible for the quality assurance or certification of National Certificate Vocational Levels 2 and 3 examinations. This responsibility has shifted entirely to the Department of Higher Education and Training DHET, which will now issue statements of results for these levels. However, Umalusi will continue to externally quality assure and certify NCV Level 4 exams. Umalusi assures the public that these policy changes will not affect the validity or credibility of previously issued qualifications.
