First is to Know What is a Private Candidate ?
When You Study With us, You're Considered as a Private Candidate by Exam Centres!
A private candidate is a learner who wants to take a qualification but doesn't want to study full-time at a school or college. This includes learners who are:
-
Home-schooled
-
Self-taught
-
Looking to resit/retake an assessment
-
Students studying a course not offered by their own school or college.
The marks you achieve in your formal exams counts 100% toward your qualifications while the ongoing internal exams you take at OBA do not contribute towards your qualification marks. The same applies if you're register with a full-time school !
