In a video on TikTok, @theshaya1826 told people about the GED. The certificate is the closest equivalent of a matric certificate. The lady explained that it may be a viable option for people who are adults but do not have a matric certificate yet. Getting a GED in Mzansi opens the door to studying higher certificates and diplomas at online universities and private tertiary institutions.

"Hyperion is correct, only private institutions accept it. USAF does not allow it upon application."
Hyperion commented:
"Please take the amended scenario certificate. You can take it at any age after 21. The GED is recognised very widely in South Africa, and you will only be accepted under special circumstances. My friends got GEDs, and they could not get into University."
Lorilai Belvedere said:
"Anybody of any age can write. Just be aware that some service providers jack up the prices. In my town, a lady is advertising it for R18000 while we paid R3300 plus about 1400/1500 per exam, depending on the exchange rate. We are using Strive Essential."
