A hybrid model will be followed for the bridging programme which comprises of 2 elements. An online element which a student will do as self-learning which can be started as soon as the student has access to the bridging programme site on the e-fundi platform and a face-to-face element which will commence as soon as classes start in 2024. The bridging programme works through eleven chapters of basic accounting.

Each quiz can be submitted twice, the highest mark will be recorded. The quiz is approximately 40 minutes each. The quizzes should be completed when the student has a stable internet connection as no exceptions will be made with regards to only two attempts being given to a student. The libraries on the respective campuses have generators which will allow students to complete the quiz uninterrupted.
The 10 quizzes contribute 25% of the students mark for the bridging programme.
Deadline: 10 March 2024 at 16:30 for all 10 quizzes.
The answers to these quizzes will be released on 11 March 2024.

Students can also make use of this opportunity to ask the lecturer questions relating to the eleven chapters. Students need to attend 6 classes which will take place over a two-week period from 26 February – 6 March 2024.
Venues and times of these classes can be found on the bridging programme e-fundi site once the student has access.
The student is required to complete an online assignment that will be released on 11 March 2024 and the deadline to complete is 22 March 2024.
