UPGRADE YOUR MATRIC
Failing Matric or not being accepted into University is not the end of the world. It really isn’t. It will just take you slightly longer but you can improve your position. Futura College can help anyone in KZN achieve a matric certificate. Take the following 10 steps to secure your future.

1. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Know you are not alone. Thousands of others are in the same jam and many thousands have been there before.

2. WHY DID I FAIL? Try and find out the reason you failed. Be honest with yourself. Did you study hard enough? Were you out socialising with your friends or watching TV? Did you think studying wasn’t ‘cool’? Did you participate throughout the year or did you just try and ‘catch up’ in the last few weeks? Did you think it was going to be easy? Did you just give up? Can you blame personal issues or illness?

3. YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR OWN LIFE and your own destiny (where you end up in the world). It’s not easy, but life’s not easy. No-one is going to knock on your door and present you with a fantastic job and a fabulous life. Not even the government!

4. WHAT NEXT? If you failed a few matric subjects, or you need better marks to get into university or enter an occupation, you can upgrade your matric with Futura College.

5. HOW CAN I DO IT? The first thing you need to do is change your attitude! You need to put yourself and your future first. The decisions you make now will affect the rest of your life.
