all The IIE campuses in the development of quality teaching for quality learning. The second is the leadership of
the team of academics in their respective roles, to ensure that the Heads of Programmes (HOPs) are enabled to
deliver high quality programmes and provide academic leadership in their faculties. The Heads of Faculty are
directly responsible for the academic delivery of that faculty.

Services (DFQEAS) at the South African Qualifications
Authority (SAQA) to ensure that you have the
equivalent to the South African National Senior
Certificate (NSC) at NQF level 4, for higher certificate
and diploma studies; NQF level 7 for honours and
postgraduate diploma studies. A certified copy of this
SAQA certificate of evaluation is required.
In addition, you must present a copy of your Academic

additional programme specific requirements.

Proficiency Tests (FAL)
Applicants wishing to register for The IIE BEd Foundation Phase Teaching & The IIE BEd Intermediate Phase
Teaching programmes must have obtained at least a Level 3 (40%) at the NSC or equivalent level, as a HL or FAL,
in the language they are seeking to study as a FAL in the BEd.
Or
Must demonstrate language proficiency (LP) in the selected FAL BEd language/s. To be admitted via this option,
candidates are required to pass a language proficiency test in the relevant language.
ALL applicants, regardless of route of entry to the BEd programmes, are required to meet the indicated additional
language requirements for the selected FAL and for English as the Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT).
In the case of those students who have already graduated from an appropriate initial higher education qualification
such as a Higher Certificate, the English requirement may be waived on successful completion of an appropriate
proficiency test.
The BEd is designed for South African students and schools and therefore the language requirements are
designed to support the development of languages in South Africa. Should you therefore be required to sit the
proficiency test, this will be held on campus at the beginning of each year prior to registration and a pass mark of
50% is required.
Should you fail this test you will unfortunately not be able to register onto the relevant BEd programme.

The IIE’s Varsity College Waterfall
Our Waterfall campus opened its doors in 2012, making it the newest edition to the family. Looking more like
Google Headquarters than a typical university, the atmosphere is relaxed yet lively with a thriving sports scene.
Student accommodation is plentiful in the surrounding neighbourhoods of Waterfall and Midrand, and around the
corner you’ll find the Mall of Africa, South Africa’s largest mall ever built in a single phase, home to over 300 local
and international brands.
This guide will hopefully make your life a little easier while studying with us.
Academic performance is important but so is finding that work-life balance, so let us help you find your way, from
accommodation to support services to social and sports clubs. If you need any further information please chat to
