Umalusi accredited SA examination boards

Teneo’s National Senior Certificate examination bodies, the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SACAI) and the Independent Examination Board (IEB), are accredited with the Umalusi Council.

As part of the SACAI and IEB, Umalusi has approved our Grade 10-12 learners to write the NSC examination under our centre number.
