Blue Hills College is an independent school in Midrand, Gauteng, spanning schooling rather than only post-school study.
Independent schools are registered with the provincial education department, not with DHET, which registers post-school institutions. That is a different register and a different check: for a school, the province is the body to confirm registration with, and Umalusi accredits the independent schools that offer the National Senior Certificate.
Ask which certificate the school’s matric leads to. Independent schools may write the NSC or the IEB, and both are recognised, but they are different examination bodies. If a school offers neither, ask carefully what its final qualification actually is.

Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at bluehillscollege.co.za, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Email to [email protected], which gives you a written record of what you asked and when.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Before you pay a private college, check two things
- Registration. Every private higher education institution in South Africa must be registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training. Registration is not a formality: it is what makes the institution lawful, and DHET publishes and cancels registrations. Ask for the registration number and check it with DHET on 086 999 0123 before paying anything.
- Accreditation of the specific programme. Registration covers the institution; accreditation covers the course. Higher education programmes are accredited by the Council on Higher Education, and occupational and skills programmes by a SETA or the QCTO. A registered college can still offer an unaccredited course, and an unaccredited qualification may not be recognised by employers or universities.
- The qualification must appear on the NQF. SAQA maintains the National Qualifications Framework and verifies qualifications on 012 431 5000. If a course does not lead to an NQF-registered qualification, be clear that you are buying training rather than a recognised credential.
- Be careful with fees paid upfront for a full year. South Africa has seen private colleges deregistered and closed mid-year, and students who paid in advance have struggled to recover the money.
- A college’s own assurances are not verification. Check with DHET, the CHE and SAQA directly. They are free to contact and they are the authority.
If a college closes or is deregistered, a qualification you already completed and were awarded generally remains valid where the programme was accredited at the time, and SAQA can verify it. Fees paid for study not delivered are a separate and much harder problem, and are a consumer and legal matter rather than something the college’s own call centre resolves.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the institution’s own complaints process first, then the relevant education authority if the matter stays unresolved.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most education complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Blue Hills College contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Blue Hills College.
- Reach Blue Hills College through the official site at bluehillscollege.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Blue Hills College will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Blue Hills College contact number?
The routes are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is 011 318 7955. Confirm it on bluehillscollege.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Blue Hills College number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at bluehillscollege.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Blue Hills College, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
