International Learners

Capsicum welcomes all international students. In the past our students came from as far as Hungary, India, Kenya, UK, America and Spain.

Foreign students are required to have a study visa to study in South Africa; this takes approximately 2 - 4 months to obtain. It is advisable that students apply for the study visa well in advance through the Department of Home Affairs/SA High Commission/SA Embassy.

Refunds will not be granted if this is not timeously arranged. For student visa requirements, refer to the following website:
www.southafrica.info/htm
 

Foreign learners will need to do the following:

Students to pay an application fee and submit all documents required, including a medical certificate even if a medical condition doesn’t exist.

Submit proof of sufficient funds to pay for the course as well as support yourself during your time in South Africa.

Become a member of a South African medical aid. This can only be done once you   are in South Africa and have a South African bank account, until such time, you will need to take out travel insurance to cover any potential
medical costs.

Procedures to follow:

Once all the documents have been received, a provisional acceptance letter will be issued together with a student registration form.
The registration form needs to be returned with proof of payment of the full course fee.

Once received, Capsicum Culinary Studio will issue final acceptance letter stating that your funds have been received and that you are officially registered.
This letter can be used in support of your Student Visa application.

Please note:

Please note:

The payment terms option is not available to foreign students i.e. only the ‘Cash Fee’ paid as a once off, up-front payment in full, will be accepted.

We are obliged to inform the High Commission/Embassy indicating that we will keep the Department of Home Affairs informed if foreign students drop out or fail to qualify for re-enrolment.
