Missing Opportunities

<p>Good Day</p> <p> </p> <p>I have app**** for my Financial Management Diploma in Sept 2015 and still I have not received any feedback regarding this matter. I was told that it can take up to 3 months to receive my diploma, which meant I would be able to start studying further towards my degree in 2016. This has NOT happened as I am still waiting on my Diploma. This is causing me to miss potential job opportunities which influences my financial position immensely.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have been calling and mailing since December of 2015 and each time I get the same answer that Northlink is still waiting on the DHET. I have now asked for direct contact details, but I was told that is not allowed. I have now missed both the first and second semester registrations to study further. Thus I lost a years’ worth of study time. I am extremely frustrated and would discourage any student to study with Northlink. Understanding that they are waiting on the DHET, I still feel that Northlink can do more from their side as they are the institution that made promises and has received study fees.</p> <p> </p> <p>I would like a phone call from the operational manager to explain to me what Northlink is planning to do to resolve this issue.</p> <p> </p> <p>Regards</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Hi Chrizaan

Thank you for taking the time to chat to us about your frustration. We are very sorry that you have had such an experience with regards to your diploma.

We do however, want to acknowledge that we can not force any action from DHET as they are our employer and we are also waiting feedback from them regarding many requests for Diplomas that have not been awarded yet.

It is therefore a situation that DHET needs to resolve and they have mentioned in the media that they have had a big back-log of applications that they need to with through.

We will keep you up to date on our facebook page with regards to the applications of diplomas.

Regards,

Northlink

Best regards,
