Which TVET Colleges Are Still Open

There are several TVET colleges in South Africa that have opened their online applications for the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year, giving students an opportunity to secure a place before the official closing date. These institutions welcome applications from both South African citizens and international students who wish to further their education and gain practical, career-focused skills. By studying at a TVET college, learners can choose from a wide range of courses designed to prepare them for the job market or for further studies at higher education institutions.

The online application process is simple and convenient, allowing applicants to complete their submissions from anywhere without the need to visit the campus in person. To ensure a smooth process, colleges strongly advise all applicants to prepare and upload the necessary documents, such as certified copies of academic results, identification documents, and proof of residence. Missing or incomplete information may delay the processing of applications, so it is important to double-check all requirements before submission.

Applying on time also increases the chances of securing space in competitive programmes, as many courses fill up quickly due to high demand. Whether you are a school leaver, someone looking to improve your qualifications, or a foreign applicant interested in studying in South Africa, TVET colleges provide an accessible pathway to achieve your educational and career goals. If you are planning to study at a TVET college, now is the best time to complete your online application before the closing date passes.

TVET College Application Dates for 2026

Many TVET Colleges in South Africa have started opening applications for the 2026 academic year. While some colleges accept applications all year round, most have specific registration periods and intake dates. Since these dates differ from one college to another, it is important to confirm directly with your chosen TVET college. The easiest way is to contact the admissions office by phone or email to get the latest and most accurate application dates. This will help you avoid missing deadlines and plan your studies on time.
