Northern Cape Rural TVET College

The hall was full at our Upington Campus. 🧡

SAPCO and the Services SETA brought their roadshow to NCR TVET, and our students got the kind of talk you don't get from a textbook — where the real opportunities are, what employers are actually looking for, and how to go and take it.

Thank you to the SAPCO and Services SETA teams for making the trip to the Northern Cape. Our students showed up, listened, and asked good questions.

Thank you, Kgolo Community Development Trust.

R300 000 worth of textbooks arrived at our Kuruman Campus, and they are already doing the job they came here to do.

Ask any TVET student what a textbook is worth. It is the difference between borrowing someone else's copy for an hour and being able to sit down on a Sunday afternoon and work through the thing properly. It is the difference between a lecturer explaining something once and a student going home to read it again.

Accepting the donation on behalf of the campus were Mr W***y Delie, Deputy Principal: Corporate Services, and Mr Leon Foutie, Campus Manager at Kuruman.

The Kgolo Community Development Trust serves the communities of Joe Morolong and the John Taolo Gaetsewe District, with education as one of its four focus areas. Those are the same villages our Kuruman students go home to on a Friday. So this is not help from somewhere far away. This is a community putting money behind its own young people.

To the trustees and the team at Kgolo, thank you. Baie dankie. Re a leboga.

Still waiting for your certificate or diploma?

If you finished your studies at NCR TVET College and your certificate or National N Diploma has still not come through, we want to know about it. Tell us here and we will follow up on your case:

🔗 https://ncrtvet.com/diploma

This is for anyone still waiting for:

🎓 NC(V) Certificates - Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 📘 Report 191 / NATED Certificates - N4, N5, N6 🎓 National N Diplomas

Waiting for a National N Diploma? The form also asks about your workplace experience and whether you handed in your logbook and supporting documents - that is usually where these cases get stuck, so please answer those questions as fully as you can.

It takes about three minutes. Please give us accurate information, especially roughly when you completed your studies and, for diplomas, when you submitted your logbook. The more detail you give us, the faster we can find your record.

You will get a reference number at the end. Save it - quote it whenever you contact us about your case.

⚠️ Please do not post your ID number, student number or documents in the comments. Everything personal must go through the form. It is on the College's own website, so your information stays with us.

Please note: completing the form is not a new application and does not guarantee that a certificate or diploma will be issued. Everything you send us is checked against College and departmental records.

📣 Please share this with anyone who studied here and is still waiting. Tag them if you know someone.
