The college offers a range of National Certificate (Vocational) [NC(V)] and Occupational Certificate programmes across its campuses in the Western Cape.

Prospective students are encouraged to apply online and check the admission requirements for their chosen qualification before submitting an application.

What programmes does False Bay TVET College offer?

False Bay TVET College offers programmes in areas including:

• Business
• Engineering
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• Hospitality
• Maritime studies
• Safety in Society
• Tourism
• Other occupational programmes

Programme availability can differ between campuses, so applicants should check the specific programme and campus before applying.

Entry requirements

Entry requirements depend on the programme and qualification.

For NC(V) programmes, False Bay TVET College lists a minimum Grade 9 entry requirement, with preference given to applicants holding Grade 10 or Grade 11 certificates.

For Occupational Certificate programmes, entry requirements can range from Grade 9 to Grade 12, depending on the specific programme.

Additional admission requirements may apply to certain qualifications.

How to apply

Applications to False Bay TVET College are completed online through the college's application portal.

New applicants should complete the required Career Interest Questionnaire before applying.

Applicants then need to:

1. Register an applicant profile.
2. Receive their Applicant Profile (AP) number and password by SMS or email.
3. Log into the applicant portal.
4. Complete the online application.
5. Upload clear certified supporting documents.

False Bay TVET College states that applicants should upload:

• Identity Document or birth certificate if under 18
• Most recent academic results
• Proof of address

The college recommends that supporting documents are certified, clear and legible, with certification not older than three months.

How many programmes can I apply for?

False Bay TVET College states that students can apply for up to three qualifications per intake.

Applicants may receive more than one offer letter, but only one offer can be accepted.

What happens after applying?

Applications are checked for completeness and then considered by the college's Selection Committee.

Successful applicants receive an Offer Letter through the application portal.

The college states that an Offer Letter must be accepted through the portal and expires within five days from the date it is issued.

Importantly, accepting an Offer Letter does not by itself secure a place. Registration is what secures the student's space.

NSFAS funding

NSFAS funding may be available to qualifying students.

Students who require financial assistance should apply separately through NSFAS and meet the applicable funding requirements.

For the 2027 academic year, NSFAS applications opened on 18 September 2026 and close on 31 October 2026, according to the official NSFAS website.

Applicants should therefore consider applying for NSFAS separately rather than assuming that a college application automatically includes a funding application.

Important 2027 distance-learning notice

False Bay TVET College has announced that it will not accept new Distance Learning applications for 2027.

Only existing N5 to N6 students will be considered for Distance Learning applications for 2027. The college says this is linked to the national transition from NATED qualifications to Occupational Qualifications.

How to apply

Applications must be completed through the official False Bay TVET College website:

www.falsebaycollege.co.za

Applicants should use the official college application portal and should be cautious of anyone asking for money to submit an application on their behalf.

Important information for applicants

Before applying, make sure you:

• Choose a programme that matches your academic background.
• Check the programme-specific admission requirements.
• Check which campus offers the programme.
• Prepare clear certified supporting documents.
• Provide an active email address and cellphone number.
• Apply for NSFAS separately if you need financial assistance.

False Bay TVET College says applicants should monitor the applicant portal for application updates and Offer Letters.
