A bridging course is your ticket to getting into the course you wanted to get into initially. This means that students that have passed matric but were unable to attain the marks needed to get into a higher education institution can take a bridging course that will help them meet the requirements needed and have another opportunity to apply. 

Here is why you should take a bridging course: 

  1. Preparation: Bridging courses build a firmer foundation in core subjects, which can aid you in overcoming any difficulties you they may experience when adjusting to tertiary-level education
  2. Boost in confidence: through preparation for entry into tertiary-level courses, bridging courses can boost your sense of security and preparedness as you begin your studies.
  3. Support: through supplying you with necessary resources, constant communication and knowledge needed to prosper in university or college, universities that offer bridging courses act as a support system for students. Additionally, bridging courses can provide you with engaging, dynamic, and interactive learning opportunities that help you develop the knowledge and skills required to succeed in tertiary-level courses.
  4. Short course programmes: courses range from six months to a year
  5. Pursue dream career: you will then meet the requirements for their desired course in university or college

Although bridging courses don't carry any credits towards your degree, they can help you be well equipped for your first year in varsity.

Your life may be significantly changed by taking a bridging course; before you know it, you could be enrolled in your dream course. Don't give up and keep working toward your ideal career.
