We believe families deserve honest information about what RockSeries currently provides, what it does not yet provide, and how official Grade 10–12 assessment works.
RockSeries may be used with confidence as a CAPS-aligned curriculum resource and learning-support platform for Grades R–9. SACAI registration is not required for RockSeries to provide learning material, educational activities, practice assessments and progress tools during these phases.
RockSeries may test learners regularly and issue internal progress reports. These tests, completed activities and reports can form valuable evidence in the learner's portfolio. For registered home education, the parent must also arrange for a competent assessor to review the learner's attainment and sign a formal report at the end of each phase: Foundation Phase (R–3), Intermediate Phase (4–6) and Senior Phase (7–9).
RockSeries Educational Software is currently a CAPS-aligned learning-support and curriculum-resource platform. RockSeries is not currently registered with SACAI as a Distance Education Provider, is not an Umalusi-accredited independent school or assessment body, and does not register learners for the National Senior Certificate (NSC).
This notice is intended to prevent misunderstanding and help parents make informed decisions.
The NSC is a three-year qualification covering Grades 10, 11 and 12. Families who want a learner to obtain an NSC must make arrangements with a recognised NSC institution or provider that is registered with an accredited assessment body and can manage all official assessment requirements.
Choose the intended qualification, subjects and official assessment route early.
Confirm the institution's current registration directly with SACAI, the IEB or the relevant education authority.
Ensure that official SBA, practical tasks, oral assessments, promotion and final-examination requirements are completed.
RockSeries is developing its Grade 10–12 learning programme with the long-term goal of pursuing the appropriate formal registration or partnership route once the programme, assessment systems, staffing and compliance structures are ready. Until RockSeries confirms a change in writing, the current status described on this page remains applicable.
No. RockSeries currently provides educational software, learning resources and learning support. It must not be represented as a registered public or independent school.
No. RockSeries is not currently a SACAI-registered Distance Education Provider or assessment centre.
Yes. RockSeries may provide tests, activities, progress checks and internal reports. These results can form part of the learner's portfolio and help a competent assessor evaluate the learner at the end of a phase. If RockSeries offers a separate phase-end assessment service through a suitably qualified competent assessor in future, the resulting formal report will clearly identify and be signed by that assessor.
No. They are internal learning-progress records intended to help families and tutors monitor work completed on the platform. They are not Umalusi certificates, official SBA records or guarantees of promotion or admission.
Yes, as a learning-support resource. The family must separately maintain the learner's official registration and assessment arrangements with a recognised NSC provider and ensure that the provider accepts and coordinates the learner's programme.
Rules, registration dates and institutional status can change. Families should verify current requirements directly with the relevant official body before enrolling or paying a provider.
