• 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.

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

• The college accommodates physical needs 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 does not register foreign students until the student produces the supporting documentation for evaluation purposes. This will include 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 on 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.

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.

Obtain an application form from Student Support Services. Complete the form, attach all documents as per checklist and return it 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.

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.  The college awards a student one bursary per level.

IMPORTANT:

Students enrolling for NC(V) programmes should pay 25% of their fees on registration. However, the college exempts students who provisionally qualify for a bursary.

Students’ guardian/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.  The college awards bursary funds according to strict pre-determined criteria. Students who do not receive bursaries will be liable for their own outstanding student accounts.
