The lessons and resources enable the parent or tutor to guide the learner through the required modules in order to build on their base of knowledge required for successful academic development.

Step-by-step formal assessment to help you excel.
Assessment
Assessment takes place on www.brainONLINE.com. This is where we communicate with you, and where you download, complete and upload all your formal assessment assignments. You need to visit brainONLINE at least once a week to stay up-to-date with your studies.
Known as School-Based Assessment (SBA), it consists of tasks, PETS, PATS, oral assignments, compulsory practical sessions in some subjects, tests and examinations.
All Brainline’s formal assessments are moderated to ensure quality, validity and integrity, thus delivering only the best assessment to our learners.
Tests and exams are completed over the Internet in your own environment, under the supervision of a registered independent invigilator.
Report
A mid-year report is issued after the exam in June, as well as a final report at the end of the year. The report includes the marks obtained from the School-Based Assessment, as well as the examinations.
“I just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Brainline for you assistance in setting up my daughter’s course and for your very friendly and pleasant manner in which you deal with your customers.”
