Current Financing Solutions:

Traditional Student Financing

We have partnered with Student Hero, South Africa’s largest student finance facilitation service. Together, we will ensure that you can access the financing you need to complete your programme of choice. :

Income Sharing Agreement (ISA)

We have also partnered with Wafunda, South Africa’s leading provider of ISAs. This innovative financing mechanism means you don’t take on debt, or have any major monthly payments to make until you’ve secured a job and a salary. (A commitment fee of R120 per month is applicable). At that point, you start paying a percentage of your salary towards the overall cost of your degree programme. This option grants you access to the WaFunda community and different support services such as financial literacy and work readiness programmes.

Distance Learning

The total fees for Instill Education’s distance learning provision for the PGCE in Foundation Phase Teaching are ZAR 35,000 (including the registration fee of ZAR 5,000). 

The acceptance/registration fee must be paid on or before registration, and registration will only be processed once this fee has been paid in full. Please note that a bursary/sponsorship letter is not sufficient proof of payment in this regard.

For students in distance programmes, we offer flexible payment terms, including:

  1. Paying at the start of each semester (ZAR 7,500 per semester) on the following dates: 11th July 2022 (1st semester), 14th February 2023 (2nd semester), 17th July 2023 (3rd semester), and 12th February 2024 (4th semester).
