Scienza Academy is a tutor centre that provides support and tutoring services to homeschooling/ distance education learners. By using Impaq’s products and services for assessments learners are able to create a portfolio of evidence that they are doing work that is not inferior to the work that they would do at a mainstream school. This means that the learner’s guardian can rest assured that they are able to prove that their child has met the required standards.
In summary, at Scienza we use Impaq’s products and services for assessments. So there are two sets of fees that must be paid. Scienza Academy Tutor Centre fees and Impaq’s fees.
These fees are provided for convenience and as a guide only. When a learner registers with Impaq they will receive an official quote.

What is Sacai
- SACAI is the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute. To learn more about SACAI visit their website: www.sacai.org.za
- SACAI is one of four Umalusi accredited bodies that can administer the National Senior Certificate (matric exam). The other three bodies are the Department of Education (DBE), the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), and the Independent Examination Board (IEB)
- From Grade 10 to Grade 12 learners need to be registered with SACAI, the DBE, the DHET or the IEB.
- When you register an FET phase learner with Impaq, Impaq registers the learner with SACAI and pays the fee over to SACAI so that there is a record of the learner being enrolled for the 3-year NSC (matric certificate)
