The concept of an APS (Admission Point Score) is primarily used in the context of admission to universities in South Africa, where it is calculated based on a student’s Matric results to determine eligibility for specific courses or programs. TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) colleges, however, do not typically use the APS system for admissions. Instead, their entry requirements are more focused on the practical eligibility criteria relevant to the vocational or technical nature of the courses they offer.
For TVET colleges, the requirements for enrollment into their courses are generally as follows:
- For NC(V) (National Certificate Vocational) courses: Students need to have completed Grade 9 or have an ABET level 4 certificate.
- For Report 191 NATED programmes: Students are required to have a Matric certificate or be in the process of completing Matric.
Given this information, there isn’t an APS score requirement for TVET College admissions as their entry requirements are based on different criteria. Instead, eligibility is determined by the level of education attained (such as Grade 9 for NC(V) courses or Matric for NATED programmes) and sometimes specific subject requirements depending on the course of study.
