TVET Colleges offer a wide variety of courses, ranging from engineering and technology to business studies, hospitality, agriculture, and more. The courses are typically aligned with the needs of the local and national industries. These courses can lead to National Certificates (Vocational) and diplomas.
TVET college entry requirements
For NC(V) courses, a Grade 9 certificate or equivalent might suffice, while NATED Report 191 programmes require a Grade 12 certificate or its equivalent.
It's essential to carefully review the academic prerequisites for your chosen course to ensure eligibility.
TVET college fees
It's important to note that while these fees provide a general range, the actual cost can vary based on specific course requirements, materials, and additional services.
Many programs also offer payment plans to help manage the financial load over the academic year.
You can also get NSFAS when studying at a TVET College. A NSFAS bursary will not only cover your fees and registration but you will also receive NSFAS allowances for learning materials, accommodation, transport and other student needs.
TVET college online application
If you're wondering how to apply for TVET college, most TVET Colleges make use of online applications for new students to apply online. Applications can be done at the campus or online and applicants will have to submit certified copies of their ID, latest results, parent/guardian ID and proof of residence along with their TVET college application form.
TVET college application closing date can differ depending on when the TVET College application period opened. Some will close as early as September while others might take TVET College admissions applications until the end of the year.
