- 8 certified copies of ID (where a student is 16 years of age or older) original must be presented on application
Parents or guardians must accompany the applicant in order to verify the correctness of personal details being given, in the case where the student is a minor or where the parent or guardian is providing the financial support. Students will be selected according to their potential ability (based on their highest qualifications and other relevant factors) to successfully complete the course. The College Council reserves the right to determine this potential.
Students who transfer from another FET College must submit the following:
Reason for transfer
- A letter to confirm that they have been de-registered at the previous institution
- A Certified copy of the identity document
- A report of their academic history on college letterhead, including Internal Continuous Assessment (ICASS) and Integrated Summative Assessment (ISAT) results
- The student’s Portfolios of Evidence for all subjects from the previous institution, if transferring during an academic year
- A Certificate of Good Conduct from their previous institution of learning
Competency Tests (NCV)
- The purpose of the competency test is to ensure that the student is placed in a programme best suited to his/her ability. A competency test must be completed by the student to determine his/her proficiency in English, as it is the medium of instruction in the College. Competency tests are prescribed by the National Department of Education and Training as a requirement for admission and it is imperative that these be conducted in the best interests of students and the College.
Competency tests are also completed in the following subjects:
- Mathematics
- Mathematical Literacy
- Vocational subjects in specialised fields
Students who are not successful in the competency test will be directed towards other study options.
ENTRY TO EXAMINATION
NC (V) candidates must meet the following sub-minimums per subject for admission to the supplementary examinations:
- Vocational subjects: 45–49%
- Life Orientation and English First Additional Language: 35–39%
- Mathematics/Mathematical Literacy: 25–29%
- Candidates who do not meet the above sub-minimums for entry to the supplementary examinations or fail any of their subjects in the supplementary examinations will have to repeat the subject on the particular level in the next academic year.
Achievement of ICASs sub-minimum for entry to written examination
- The NC(V) policy requirement of achieving at least 50% in the internal assessment (i.e. ICASS) and the external assessment (ISAT and written examination) components, respectively, in the vocational subjects will be strictly enforced in the resulting certification process.
- The implication of this is that a candidate who has not attempted ICASS tasks at all or who has failed this internal assessment component by achieving less than 50% will not be allowed to write the examination. The sub minimum for ICASS for Life Orientation and the First Additional Language is 40% and for Mathematics and Mathematical literacy, it is 30%. To qualify for exam entry, outstanding fees must be settled in full or arrangements made in advance before a student may sit for his/her examination.
