[@VuyokaziVilakazi]

Appreciated your clarity in informing us about the documents required.What I am not sure about though are the transcripts you mentioned.Are these original copies of my Bachelor's degree?

[@nsovo_n]

You’re welcome. Transcripts are the copies of your marks you’ve received from your first year all the way to your final year.

[@vhusanimulaudzi8489]

[@qawekazigasa2243]

thank you. So helpful.

[@nsovo_n]

You're most welcome.

[@lakzs023923]

Wow, that's the quickest I've ever heard of someone getting their PCC back, I've started the process but I really don't know if I will get my PCC and SAQA and have them apostilled in time for the spring intake.

[@nsovo_n]

I’m sure you will. These things do take time. Hang in there. All the best.

[@Yentl97]

Hi. I'm confused about the apostilling of your degree. Step1: apply to SAQA with a copy of your degree certificate and ID? Step 2: They send it automatically to Dirco? Then Step 3: We have to take our police clearance all the way to where SAQA sent it? How does it work? And I am from East London. The postnet you are talking about, can we not visit our nearest postnet in our city? I don't know how to do this. What if our documents gets sent before I have taken my police clearance there? Please reexolain this part. I'm confused.

[@ontshiametsemathabe6264]

Hello there 😊! Prior to sending your documents to getting apostilled, you need to ensure that you have your Police clearance AND SAQA verification letter (the process for the verification is as follows: email saqa an email requesting a quotation for the letter + attach a consent form - you'll find that on their website, ID as well as scanned copy of your Degree or qualification). After payment and receiving your verification letter Only then can you courier (since you're in Kimberly go to your nearest postnet) your SAQA letter AND Police Clearance to DIRCO and request for them to be apostilled, I hope this is clear, Mama❤

[@jabulilemabaso8469]

Thanks for the video Nsovo, for SAQA do you have to send certified copies of your degree and ID?

[@nsovo_n]

You’re welcome Jabulile. No they do not have to be certified.

[@noxolo_n_msibi2261]

Thank you.

[@buhle_inbloom]

hey Nsovo , with the recommendation letters , what if you haven't work yet. like just graduated , what happens?

[@nsovo_n]

Hello Buhle. You can get one letter from one of your university lecturers and the other, maybe the other through an organisation through volunteering.

[@Yentl97]

Thank you for the information. I have one question. Should we first complete the online application and interview then prepare all these documents to post to Epik?

[@nsovo_n]

No you need to prepare your documents first. The interview should find you with almost all your documents ready.

[@thabomasiteng8742]

Hi Nsovo. About English letters … will it be okay if they write a letter and send electronically? Or should I go meet them one on one … or should it have ink signatures on them for in person fetch?

[@nsovo_n]

Hi Thabo. The letters have to be ink signed. Digital signatures are not accepted.

[@Maps05]

Thank you sis,for the informative video How long did the whole process take you

[@nsovo_n]

Hey Maps. It took me about 4-5 months. I started gathering my documents in August 2022, I couriered everything to Korea in December 2022. I got my visa and booked flights in Jan 2023

[@leanne_jacobs310]

Thank you for the informative video. I'm from Zimbabwe, however I did my education in South Africa, do you think they will still consider me if I prove proof of English letters?

[@nsovo_n]

Hey love. I think it’s best you do your research just to be sure. All the best.

[@priscillaoilc4625]

Am a teacher in Zim and l believe Zimbabwe is the best in English believe me

[@simaslife9927]

Im applying for next year Feb intake so applications open August can i start now with gathering the documents like saqa and letters of recommendations excluding PCC of course coz it expires after 6 months

[@nsovo_n]

Yes it’s best to start as soon as you can.

[@Yentl97]

How long does SAQQ take to verify your degree and send quotation for the amount? It says 25 working days? 😕

[@nsovo_n]

Quotation takes about a week, verification takes 3 weeks.

[@PreciousMathosa]

What about people Lesotho....provided I have a Masters Degree in Education?

[@nsovo_n]

I’m not really sure to be honest. Please maybe do your research so you can get accurate information 🙏🏾

[@Kit3n]

Hi, where do you get the proof of English letter at university

[@nsovo_n]

I’m not sure but EPIK requires you to get your letter from your primary school/s.

[@Phindile.1]

Hey I would like to ask. For the TEFL certificate do I pay the course or is it for free?

[@Phindile.1]

Because like when I enter the website of TEFL course you talked about they are talking about membership and me paying before I could start the course of 120hr

[@nsovo_n]

You can get a free one on teacherrecord.com. I paid for mine, I got it from International open academy.

[@rorisangsello6912]

Hey, when does Epik Application normally open?

[@nsovo_n]

August and February

[@zolanimancunga7016]

Can I start the application with my PCC and passport than submit my transcripts and certificate later?

[@nsovo_n]

It’s best to do your pcc a little later because it’s valid for only 6 months. It might expire if you start with it. Especially if you’re going the EPIK route.

[@ellashawa5420]

Very informative. Are Zambians eligible?

[@nsovo_n]

No not for EPIK

[@thembasotondoshe1190]

[@nsovo_n]

No they do not.
