Step-by-Step Guide for Late Applicants
Late applications are strictly online via the i-Enabler system, but walk-in support is available at certain campuses due to regional connectivity issues.
- Compulsory Placement Screening: Before applying, you must complete the Pre-Entry Placement Test on the college website.
- i-Enabler Registration: Visit the Vhembe TVET Career Portal and select “New Applicant.”
- Course Selection: Choose your year (2026) and your preferred campus (e.g., Makwarela, Musina, or Mavhoi).
- Document Upload: You will need PDF copies of:
- Certified ID (Applicant and Parent/Guardian)
- Certified latest Results (Grade 9, 11, or Matric)
- Proof of Residence
Campuses and Specialized Courses
Vhembe TVET College is decentralized. Not every course is offered at every campus.
- Makwarela Campus (Head Office): The hub for Engineering (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical) and Business Management.
- Musina Campus: Specialized in Business Studies and commercial-aligned programs.
- Mavhoi Campus: Offers a mix of Business and Engineering fields.
- Mashamba Campus: The primary site for Agriculture programs.
- Makhado Satellite: Specifically focused on Hospitality and Skills Programs.
NSFAS & Financial Aid for 2026
Late applicants are still eligible for NSFAS funding if they meet the criteria (combined household income under R350,000 per annum).
- Note: If you are a late applicant, apply for NSFAS immediately upon receiving your firm offer from the college. The college bursary office can assist with “assistive capture” if you struggle with the online portal.
Important Advice for Late Applicants
Pro Tip: “Don’t wait for the SMS.” In rural campuses, system delays are common. If you haven’t heard back by 20 January, visit the administration block of the campus you applied to with your printed application proof and ID for a face-to-face follow-up.
