COSTS OF THE GAP YEAR FOR 2026:

The course fees cover all study material, study guides, excursions, practical materials, camps, career guidance, gym fees, individual life coaching sessions and individual mental health sessions. The course fees are divided into two parts:

  • A Registration Fee of R30,000 payable before 30 November 2025.
  • Tuition fees, lunch and fitness fees of R9500 per month: Payable over 10 months from February to November 2026.  

 

What is included in the fees?

Tuition: top quality tuition in a wide spectrum of areas by leading experts in each field (32 short courses, camps and activity weeks).

Camps: all meals, accommodation, recreation and travelling expenses of the camps.

Theoretical course materials: all the theoretical course materials such as study guides and handouts.

Practical course materials: practical course materials such as foods, wine, first aid material and self-defense equipment.

Fitness support and monitoring: each student receives a gym contract, and we keep track of students’ participation and progress in the Fitness Programme.

One-on-one counselling and coaching sessions:  each student attends three pastoral counsellor sessions with the option to increase the sessions if needed. Monthly one-on-one coaching sessions to monitor well-being, personal goals and self-management.

Individual career guidance and psychometric tests:  one-to-one career guidance and a wide range of scientifically endorsed psychometric tests to determine students’ unique aptitudes, personalities, values and interests.

Keep in mind

Equilibria’s course fees are more or less the same as most entry-level tertiary study programmes. Yet, many pay for an extra year at university or college, due to the high drop-out numbers at tertiary institutions. A lack of coping skills, emotional immaturity and wrong career choices commonly cause students to repeat subjects, change courses or drop out. Such a ‘wasted’ year often results in feelings of failure, confusion and guilt.

It makes more sense to prevent the possibility of wasting a year and invest in a gap year to make sure about your career decision and learn how to excel in tertiary studies and adult life.
