 Dyna contact training and all formative assessment activities must be completed.  The following guidelines for entry are › Core: level 3 (grade 11) › BMS: level 4 (matric) › Business Sense: level 2 (grade 10) › Cap 1 – 3: level 4 (matric) * While we encourage learners to grow and develop and would not deny anyone a chance to obtain a certificate of competence – those clients/learners who enter the process but do not possess the recommended entry levels do so voluntarily and at their own risk. It is advised that those learners whose literacy (English language ability) falls below the recommended levels consider ABET training prior to attempting a level 4 summative assessment. Free pre-training assessment is available if you are unsure of your ability to meet the challenges of the programme. Copyright NQ plus 5
