Entry requirements
No formal prerequisite is assumed unless MFTC states one for a particular scheduled intake. Basic business numeracy and an interest in the subject will help learners participate effectively.
Assessment and timed tests
Educational scenarios and record-preparation exercises may be assessed. Current SARS requirements must be verified before consequential use. Timed assessments use an authoritative server-side timer, save learner answers during the attempt and submit automatically when time expires. Subjective responses can be routed for authorised human marking.
Certificate
A certificate is issued only when the learner meets the applicable course-completion requirements and achieves the required assessment standard. The default MFTC pass mark is 50%. Certificates include a unique verification number and can be revoked where legitimately required.
