Hi Dr. Scheepers,
My daughter is in grade 11 and want to do course similar like this to increase her chances of acceptance when applying for university. Will this help or can you suggest something else.
The Apprentice Doctor Foundation Medical online course counts for 60 extracurricular medical course hours and the physical program for 32 hours (certified). The Apprentice Doctor has loads of good testimonials – but we do not have any special arrangements with any medical schools regarding recognition for increased chances of acceptance.
Hi
Are there similar programs in Cape Town?
Also will there be programs in 2020 in South Africa?
No – not yet.
We are planning the 2020 programs
I’m interested….
How do I apply ?..
Apply by clicking on the ” Register now” button and filling out the form then click on submit.
Dear Sirs.
is it possible that you can sign a attendance register for my son who attended the course, the university requires it for admission.

Hi Luke Thank you for your comment. We just checked the server – and no application form received. The application form was tested and it is functional – but occasionally a specific computer/web browser or a specific anti-virus application causes a problem. Can you kindly resubmit on another computer or browser? Apologies for the inconvenience! Best Dr Anton
