APPLYING FOR YOUR NATIONAL N-DIPLOMA

Application for a National N-Diploma (Report 191) – Download it here

You can apply for your National N-Diploma once you have finished your N6 certificate issued by the Department of Education and on submission of proof of 18 months or 2 000 hours of suitable experience in the industry. You can apply through Boland College for the Diploma.

National N-Diplomas are not issued by Flavius Mareka TVET College, but by the National Department of Higher Education and Training in Pretoria. Selection is extremely strict and all documentation must be the originals (excluding certified copies where required). No copies/faxes will be accepted.

THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS MUST BE HANDED IN BY YOU:

• A COMPLETED APPLICATION FORM – Complete the application form of the National Department of Higher Education and Training. You can download the application form here.

• CERTIFIED COPIES – Certified copies of your N4, N5 and N6 certificates as well as your identity document. Certification may not be older than 3 months.

• A LETTER FROM YOUR EMPLOYER(S) – A letter on a letterhead from your employer(s) which has to contain the following information:
• Specific dates as proof of the period in which you gained work experience relevant to your particular field of training. Refer to “National Exam Instruction No 21 of 2000, point 1.10”. The proof of experience must be in two main subjects of your N6 qualification.
• A Certificate of Service that confirms that the candidate worked for more than 18 months, and
• A complete duty sheet (job description) stating what your duties were.

You are requested to read the circular “National Exam Instruction 21 of 2000” carefully so that you can acquaint yourself with the requirements that the National Department of Higher Education and Training sets. The Department will under no circumstances issue a Diploma unless the candidate strictly complies with the requirements.
