• Each specific programme may require additional competency assessment prior to enrolment.  Contact your campus for the requirements of the programme you want to enrol for. E.g. Electrical – colour competency; Mechanical – eye/hand coordination; Civil and Electrical – no fear of heights.

• Students with physical; mental; educational challenges or disabilities must be screened/interviewed, counselled and placed in appropriate programmes, or may be required to submit a report from a qualified psychologist/doctor. Mnambithi TVET College Online Application

• Learnership students will be screened according to the SETA requirements for the programme of enrolment.

• An exception may be made by the Campus Manager for admission granted on age and/or experience.  In such instances, it needs to be established that although the student does not have the formal minimum requirement, work experience and maturity make the probability of success likely.
• In the case of students with certification from foreign countries, the Department of Higher Education and Training provides the appropriate guidelines.  Where no such guide for a specific certificate can be found, the student may be advised to liaise with SAQA in order to verify the qualification.

Students with Special Education Needs

• Students with special needs are to be accommodated within the scope of the College, so long as the disability does not pose a threat to the well-being of the student or fellow students during programme delivery.  The latter would apply, for example, in the case of a blind candidate wishing to enrol for a course reliant on dangerous heavy machinery where sight is imperative for the execution of the task.

• Special learning needs can be accommodated via ascribe (on application to the Department of Higher Education and Training) and permission being granted.  This is dependent on the submission of professional learning history.  The additional costs incurred shall be at the expense of the student.

• Physical needs will be accommodated wherever possible.  If this accommodation should incur costs on the running of the entire course, the student is to bear the cost.  An example of this would be Braille keyboards for the blind or computer screen protectors for epileptics, etc.

Foreign Students

• The College is not permitted to register foreign students until the student produces the supporting documentation for evaluation purposes. This will include a passport, visa, study/work permit and qualifications upon registration.

• All foreign students shall be subjected to a selection procedure based on academic merit and the number of spaces available.  In the case of students with certification from foreign countries, the Department of Higher Education and Training provides the appropriate guidelines.  Where no such guide for a specific certificate can be found, the candidate may be advised to liaise with SAQA in order to verify the qualification.

• If the home language is not the language of instruction, the College may conduct an assessment of the language to determine the level of competency.  This could be done by means of interviews or testing. The College can also use ongoing communication and literacy support.

Financial Aid

Student Accounts

• Visit the administration office to get a detailed printout of your outstanding fees.
• Visit the Student Support Centre at the main campus for information on financial aid.
• Skills Centre students:  SLO will visit the skills centre according to a schedule, at least once a week.  You can also get more information from your lecturers.

DHET  TVET Colleges Bursary Scheme

The Department of Further Education & Training’s TVET Colleges Bursary Scheme has been established to assist students who have the potential to succeed at NC(V) or N2-N6 studies, but would not be able to do so without financial aid.

• How to apply:

Obtain an application form from Student Support Services. Complete the form, attach all documents as per the checklist and return them to the Student Support Services at the campus. Ensure that you submit your form BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE.

Student Support Services will apply the NSFAS means test.  If the student qualifies for a bursary, Student Support Services will issue a Provisional Approved Bursary Letter. Qualifying applications will then be submitted to the Mnambithi TVET College Bursary Committee for final approval and submission to NSFAS.

Bursaries will be awarded based on financial need and academic performance within the confines of the funds allocated to the College by the Department of Higher Education & Training.  A student will only be awarded one bursary per level. Mnambithi TVET College Online Application

IMPORTANT: Students enrolling for NC(V) programmes are required to pay 25% of their fees on registration. However, students who provisionally qualify for a bursary will be exempted to pay this deposit.  Students’ guardians/parents who do not pay their full class fees during registration will need to sign a contract to pay the outstanding fees for their programme, according to college requirements and deadlines, and not rely on receiving a bursary.

Bursary funds are limited and awarded according to strict pre-determined criteria. Students who do not receive bursaries will be liable for their own outstanding student accounts.
