Your Studies, Your Responsibility

Why We’re Doing This


Over the past nine months, Edu-Build Institute WC, EC & NW has experienced challenges caused by widespread non-payment of student fees. As of April 2025, the majority of students
are in arrears and massive amounts are outstanding across our Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and North West
campuses.

Despite this, over the years, we have continued to allow students in arrears to continue with their studies. Most of these students simply did not stick to their commitments.

This is TOTALLY UNFAIR to other students who diligently pays. We are no longer prepared to tolerate this as it has now become too big of a problem.

Edu-Build is a private institution. We rely entirely on student fees to pay our facilitators, maintain campuses, and to ensure accreditation and certification processes are completed on time.

​​Without immediate and full cooperation from all students, the risk of disruption becomes very real. This demonstration outlines the changes we’re now enforcing to protect our future — and yours.


New Payment Rules (Effective Immediately)


To ensure Edu-Build Institute WC, EC & NW’s sustainability and uphold the value of your qualifications, we are implementing strict new policies under the
Pay-to-Stay model.

🔸 1. Suspension at 30+ Days overdue

Any student whose account is more than 30 days in arrears will be automatically suspended from all academic activities, including:

  • Classroom Attendance

  • Assessment submissions

  • Access to support services or campus facilities

  • SETA/QCTO-related processes

Suspensions will take effect without further notice after the threshold is crossed.

🔸 2. Maximum Suspension

Period: 3 Weeks

Suspended students will have up to three (3) weeks to settle their outstanding balance. During this time, your access to all learning will remain blocked. This is the maximum grace period that will be allowed.

​No exceptions will be made.

🔸 3. Deregistration if Unpaid

If fees are not paid in full by the end of the 3-week suspension window:

  • You will be deregistered

    from Edu-Build.

  • This may affect your ability to obtain certificates or register with other training providers.

  • Your name and ID number may be reported to SETA/QCTO as “non-compliant”.

Once deregistered, your seat in the programme will be lost. Re-registration will be subject to availability and
payment of all arrears in advance
and
REGISTRATION FEES
must be paid again..


This is not a punishment. It’s a necessity.

These steps are being implemented to ensure that committed students are not disadvantaged, while the integrity of Edu-Build’s academic and accreditation standards is maintained.
