Ehlanzeni TVET College Frequently Asked Questions

Application and Admission Questions

Q: When do applications open for 2026?

A: Applications for 2026 at Ehlanzeni TVET College are now open. The college operates on rolling admissions until programs reach capacity. Apply as early as possible to secure your spot in competitive programs. Check the official website (ehlanzenicollege.co.za) for specific dates and deadlines.

Q: How do I apply to Ehlanzeni TVET College?

A: Applications are completed online with assistance at campus locations. Visit your preferred campus with required documents, book an application session, and staff will help you complete the online application, placement assessment, and NSFAS application. You need: certified ID copies, latest academic results, proof of residence, and parent/guardian information.

Q: Can I apply online from home without visiting campus?

A: While the application system is online, Ehlanzeni TVET College requires applicants to visit campus for placement assessment and document verification. Campus staff provide technical support and ensure applications are completed correctly. This also allows opportunity to tour facilities and ask questions.

Q: What are the minimum requirements to study at Ehlanzeni TVET College?

A: Requirements depend on the program:

NCV Level 2: Minimum Grade 9 passed (must have passed Mathematics for Engineering/ICT programs)
Report 191 N1: Minimum Grade 9 passed
Report 191 N4: National Senior Certificate (Grade 12) with specific subject requirements depending on program All applicants must complete placement assessment.

Q: I didn’t pass Grade 12. Can I still study at Ehlanzeni TVET College?

A: Yes. If you passed Grade 9, you can apply for NCV Level 2 or Report 191 N1 programs. If your Grade 9 results don’t meet NCV requirements, the Pre-Vocational Learning Programme (PVLP) helps strengthen academic foundations for one year before entering NCV programs.

Q: Can I study part-time while working?

A: Yes. Ehlanzeni TVET College offers part-time options for Report 191 (NATED) programs. Part-time students typically attend classes in evenings or on Saturdays. NCV programs are full-time only. Contact your preferred campus to confirm part-time availability for your chosen program.

Q: Which campus should I apply to?

A: Apply to the campus nearest your residence that offers your chosen program. The college gives preference to students in the campus catchment area. Use the campus-program matrix in this guide to verify which campuses offer your program. If your local campus doesn’t offer the program, you can apply to another campus.

Q: How will I know if my application was successful?

A: Ehlanzeni TVET College sends SMS notification to the mobile number you provided in your application. Provisional acceptance means you meet initial requirements. Final confirmation comes after submitting final academic results and completing registration. You can also check application status through the student portal.

Q: What if I don’t receive SMS confirmation?

A: First, verify the phone number you provided is correct and working. Check with campus admissions office using your application reference number. Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks during busy application periods. If no response after four weeks, contact campus directly.

Program and Course Questions

Q: What’s the difference between NCV and Report 191 (NATED) programs?

A: NCV (National Certificate Vocational) runs Levels 2-4 (three years), combines theory with continuous practical assessment, and prepares for employment or university of technology entry. Report 191 (NATED) runs N1-N6, separates theory (N1-N3) from practical workplace phases (N4-N6), and leads to artisan qualifications and engineering technician roles. NCV is more integrated; NATED is more traditional technical education.

Q: Which program is better—NCV or NATED?

A: Neither is “better”—they serve different purposes. Choose NCV if you want immediate practical training, quicker qualification (3 years), and direct employment or further study. Choose NATED if you’re targeting artisan trades, prefer traditional theory-practice separation, or plan engineering technician career. Consider career goals, learning style, and employer preferences in your field.

Q: What courses are offered at Ehlanzeni TVET College?

A: Ehlanzeni TVET College offers:

Engineering: Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Engineering and Related Design
Business: Finance and Accounting, Management, Office Administration, Financial Management
Services: Hospitality, Tourism
ICT: Information Technology and Computer Science
Agriculture: Primary Agriculture, Farm Management

See the complete program list earlier in this guide for specific offerings and campus locations.

Q: Can I change programs after I’ve been accepted?

A: Program changes may be possible early in the academic year, subject to space availability and meeting requirements for the new program. Contact campus academic office immediately if you want to change. Changes become difficult after first few weeks as you’ll miss foundational content. It’s better to choose carefully during application.

Q: How long does it take to complete a qualification?

A: Duration varies:

NCV: Three years (Levels 2, 3, and 4—one year each)
NATED N1-N3: Approximately 18 months to 2 years
NATED N4-N6: Approximately 18 months to 2 years theory + 18-24 months workplace experience
Pre-Vocational Learning Programme: One year
Short courses: Three to six months

Full-time students progress faster than part-time students.

Q: Can I work while studying?

A: Full-time NCV students face heavy timetables and practical requirements making part-time work difficult. However, many students work on weekends or during breaks. Part-time NATED students (evening classes) can work during the day. Learnerships and apprenticeships allow you to earn while learning through structured workplace training.

Student Portal and Technical Questions

Q: How do I log into the student portal?

A: Visit https://ienabler.ehlanzenicollege.co.za and enter your student number as username and your password. New students receive login credentials during registration. If you forget your password, use the “Lost password” link on the login page and follow reset instructions. See the detailed portal section earlier in this guide.

Q: I forgot my student portal password. What do I do?

A: On the iEnabler login page, click “Lost password or username?” Enter your registered email address and submit. Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for password reset link. Click the link and create a new password. If you don’t receive the email or encounter problems, contact campus IT support at 081 419 4588 or visit campus IT office.

Q: What’s my username for the student portal?

A: Your username is typically your student number (assigned during registration). Some systems may use your ID number or email address. Check registration documents or contact campus IT support if unsure. When logging in for the first time, use credentials provided by registration office.

Q: Can I access the portal from my phone?

A: Yes. The Ehlanzeni TVET College student portal (iEnabler) is mobile-responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. Use any modern mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). Some features display better on larger screens, but essential functions work well on mobile devices.

Fees and Financial Aid Questions

Q: How much does it cost to study at Ehlanzeni TVET College?

A: Fees vary by program:

NCV programs: R11,919 to R32,126 per year depending on field
NATED programs: R6,589 to R16,315 per year depending on level and field
Part-time study: Lower fees, charged per subject

See the detailed fee structure earlier in this guide. Contact campus finance office for current year fees and payment plans.

Q: Does NSFAS fund TVET college students?

A: Yes. NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) funds eligible students at Ehlanzeni TVET College. If approved, NSFAS covers tuition fees plus allowances for accommodation, transport, and personal care. Students must be South African citizens with household income under R350,000 per annum (or under R600,000 for students with disabilities).

Q: How do I apply for NSFAS?

A: Apply online at www.nsfas.org.za. Create myNSFAS account, complete application, and upload required documents (IDs, proof of income, proof of residence). You must first be provisionally accepted at Ehlanzeni TVET College before applying for NSFAS. Campus financial aid offices assist with NSFAS applications. Apply early as processing takes time.

Q: When will I receive my NSFAS allowances?

A: NSFAS disburses allowances monthly during the academic year through the NSFAS e-Wallet system. You’ll receive SMS notification when funds are loaded. Typical disbursement is mid-month, but dates vary. Ehlanzeni TVET College doesn’t control NSFAS payments—contact NSFAS directly with allowance queries. Tuition is paid directly to the college; you don’t handle those funds.

Q: What if NSFAS hasn’t approved my application by registration time?

A: If you’ve applied for NSFAS but haven’t received approval, present proof of NSFAS application to campus finance office. They may allow provisional registration pending NSFAS outcome. If NSFAS ultimately declines your application, you’ll be responsible for fees and must arrange payment. Don’t skip registration while waiting for NSFAS—you could lose your place.

Q: Can I get a bursary if I don’t qualify for NSFAS?

A: Ehlanzeni TVET College and external organizations offer additional bursaries for qualifying students. Contact campus financial aid office to inquire about:

DHET special bursaries
Industry SETA bursaries
Company-sponsored bursaries
NGO and foundation support Apply early as these are competitive and limited.

Q: Can I pay my fees in installments?

A: Yes. Ehlanzeni TVET College offers payment plans for students not funded by NSFAS. Visit campus finance office to arrange installment plan. Typically requires deposit at registration and monthly or quarterly payments. Terms must be agreed in writing. Failure to keep up payments may result in deregistration or examination exclusion.

Campus and Practical Questions

Q: Which Ehlanzeni TVET College campus is closest to me?

A: Ehlanzeni TVET College operates eight campuses across Mpumalanga:

Nelspruit (Mbombela) – capital city
KaNyamazane – near Mbombela
Barberton – 43km south of Mbombela
Mapulaneng – Acornhoek/Bushbuckridge area
Mashishing (Lydenburg) – northern Mpumalanga
Mlumati – KaMhlushwa/Malelane area
Mthimba – Hazyview area

See the campus directory earlier in this guide for addresses, contact details, and programs offered at each location.

Q: Does Ehlanzeni TVET College provide accommodation?

A: Limited on-campus accommodation is available. Nelspruit Campus has a residence for 50 female students. Most students arrange private accommodation nearby (rooms, apartments, boarding houses). Campus housing offices assist with off-campus accommodation listings. Apply early as on-campus spaces fill quickly. NSFAS provides accommodation allowance for eligible students.

Q: How do I get to campus each day?

A: Most students use minibus taxis (most affordable and accessible public transport in South Africa). Some campuses are on bus routes. Students with personal vehicles can drive and park on campus. Carpooling with classmates saves costs. NSFAS transport allowance (R7,350 per year) helps students living more than 5km from campus cover daily commuting costs.

Q: Is there food available on campus?

A: Most campuses have cafeterias or tuck shops offering affordable meals and snacks. Some operate meal card systems. Food prices are typically lower than off-campus restaurants. Many students bring packed lunches. NSFAS personal care allowance can help cover food costs.

Q: What time are classes?

A: Full-time classes typically run Monday to Friday, approximately 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM (varies by campus and program). Timetables include lectures, practical workshops, and lab sessions. Part-time classes are usually evenings (after 5:00 PM) or Saturdays. Your specific timetable is provided at registration and accessible through the student portal.

Academic and Examination Questions

Q: What happens if I fail a subject?

A: Students who fail subjects may need to repeat them. Progression rules vary:

NCV: Must pass all subjects at current level before progressing to next level
NATED: May progress to some N-levels while repeating failed subjects, depending on program rules Repeated failures may result in academic exclusion or requirement to change programs. Academic support services help struggling students.

Q: Can I write exams if I have outstanding fees?

A: No. Students with outstanding fees are blocked from writing examinations. Ehlanzeni TVET College requires financial accounts to be settled (or payment arrangements in place) before exam admission. Contact finance office immediately if facing payment difficulties—don’t wait until exam time.

Q: How much attendance is required?

A: Students must maintain minimum 80% attendance in each subject to qualify for examinations. This includes authorized absences (with medical certificates or death certificates). Regular attendance is monitored. Falling below 80% results in examination exclusion for that subject. Attendance also affects bursary eligibility and work placement opportunities.

Q: What if I’m sick and miss class?

A: For illness-related absences of three or more consecutive days, submit medical certificate to your lecturer immediately upon return. For absences due to death of family member, provide death certificate. Authorized absences count toward your attendance record but are considered differently than unauthorized absences. Single-day illnesses should still be reported but may not require medical documentation.

Q: When are examinations?

A: Examination schedules vary by program:

NCV: Semester or trimester system with mid-year and end-of-year examinations
NATED: Semesters or trimesters with examinations per cycle Examination timetables are published well in advance through student portal and campus notice boards. National examinations (NATED) have fixed dates set by Department of Higher Education and Training.
