Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications do I need to study Business Studies and Office Administration (TVET) at a TVET college?

For NCV (National Certificate Vocational) programmes you need a Grade 9 pass — no matric required. For NATED (Report 191) N1-N6 programmes, a Grade 9 pass is the minimum, though some colleges prefer Grade 10 or 11. This makes TVET colleges accessible to learners who have not yet completed matric and to those who want a practical, work-focused qualification after school.

Is a Business Studies and Office Administration (TVET) programme free in South Africa?

Application to all 50 public TVET colleges in South Africa is completely free. Tuition fees vary by college but NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) covers tuition, accommodation, and a living allowance for eligible students. To qualify for NSFAS: South African citizenship and household income under R350,000 per year. SASSA grant recipients automatically qualify. Apply at nsfas.org.za.

How long does the Business Studies and Office Administration (TVET) programme take at a TVET college?

Programme durations: 18 months, 3 years. NCV programmes run over 3 years (Levels 2, 3, and 4). NATED N1-N6 programmes take 18 months to 3 years depending on how you complete the practical (18 months in-college plus 18 months workplace experience required for a trade test). Once you pass the DHET trade test you become a certified artisan.

What jobs can I get with a Business Studies and Office Administration (TVET) TVET qualification?

Career paths from Business Studies and Office Administration (TVET) programmes include: Office Manager, HR Clerk, Administrator, Bookkeeper, Accounts Clerk, Financial Administrator. Artisan trades are among the highest-demand occupations in South Africa. The construction, mining, manufacturing, and energy sectors have chronic shortages of qualified technical workers — meaning strong employment prospects and competitive salaries for qualified graduates.

Can I go to university after completing a TVET programme?

Yes. An NCV Level 4 with the right subjects is equivalent to matric and can be used to apply to university, though APS requirements still apply. Completing N6 and a trade test qualifies you as a certified artisan — you can then pursue a National Diploma or B-Tech at a University of Technology. Many TVET graduates also enter the workforce first and study further part-time.

Disclaimer: TVET programme offerings, entry requirements, and NSFAS eligibility may change annually. Always verify directly with the college before applying. Artisan trade test requirements are set by DHET and sector training authorities (SETAs).
