Majuba TVET College Application 2027 & How to Apply

Published 09/27/2026

Majuba TVET College is a public Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college based in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. The college serves the Amajuba and Umzinyathi districts and offers vocational and occupational programmes designed to develop practical skills for employment, further study and entrepreneurship. Its programme portfolio includes NC(V), Report 191/NATED, engineering, business studies, agriculture, hospitality, tourism, information technology and artisan-related training.

Key Application Dates

Estimated 2027 Opening and Closing Deadlines

The available 2027 application information places Majuba TVET College within the September 2026 national TVET application window. Current application-date listings give 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2026 as the national September window, while some third-party Majuba guides report longer programme-specific periods. Because individual programmes and intakes can have different deadlines, applicants should verify the closing date shown on the official Majuba application system before submitting.

For planning purposes:

2027 application cycle: September 2026
National TVET application window: 1 September 2026 – 30 September 2026
Majuba programme deadlines: May vary according to programme and intake
Closing date: Check the current official Majuba notice/application portal
Best time to apply: As soon as the relevant 2027 application opens

Majuba has historically operated different application periods for different programmes and intakes. This means students should not assume that one date applies to every NC(V), NATED, engineering or occupational programme.

Important: If your preferred programme is already available for application, submit your application early rather than waiting for the final day.

Step-by-Step Online Application Process

Majuba TVET College uses an online application system for prospective students.

Official Majuba TVET College website:
Majuba TVET College

Official application page:
Majuba TVET College – Apply Now

Online application portal:
Majuba TVET College Online Application Portal

The Majuba application process includes creating an applicant profile, completing the learner/career profiler and placement assessment, selecting a programme and campus, uploading supporting documents and submitting the application.

How to Submit Your Application Online

Step 1: Visit the official Majuba website

Start by visiting the official Majuba TVET College website.

Select the Apply Now option and follow the instructions to access the online application system.

Do not use an application link supplied by an unofficial agent unless you have independently verified it through the college’s official website.

Majuba’s official prospectus directs prospective NC(V) applicants to the college website to apply.

Step 2: Open the online application portal

The Majuba application system is available through the college’s Coltech platform.

Open the application portal and select the option for a new applicant if you have never applied before.

You will need to create an applicant profile and provide your identification and contact details.

International applicants should use their passport information where the portal requires passport identification rather than attempting to enter a South African ID number.

Step 3: Create your applicant profile

Enter your personal information carefully.

You should have:

Valid email address
Working cellphone number
South African ID number, where applicable
Passport details for international applicants, where applicable
Secure password

Save your username, password and application/reference number.

You will need these details later to return to the portal and check your application.

Step 4: Complete the learner/career guidance profiler

New applicants should complete the required learner profiler/career guidance assessment.

This stage helps identify areas of study that may be suitable for your interests and educational background.

When completing the assessment:

Answer all questions honestly.
Complete the assessment yourself.
Do not allow another person to answer it for you.
Save your results where the system allows it.
Keep your login details safe.

Current application guidance for Majuba identifies the career guidance and placement stages as part of the application process.

Step 5: Complete the placement assessment

After completing the learner profiler, proceed to the placement/pre-entry assessment.

This assessment is used to help determine an appropriate programme or study level.

The assessment may include areas such as:

Literacy
Numeracy
Course or career selection

Complete every required section before moving to the application form.

Important: Do not allow a friend, parent or agent to complete the assessment on your behalf. Your answers should reflect your own academic and career interests.

Step 6: Select the 2027 academic year

Once the application section is available, select 2027 as your intended academic year where the portal provides the option.

Check the year carefully before continuing.

If the portal displays several intake options, choose the one corresponding to the programme you want to study.

Step 7: Select your campus

Majuba operates campuses and technology centres across the Newcastle, Madadeni and Dundee areas. Its published prospectus identifies facilities including the Majuba Technology Centre, Newcastle Technology Centre, Dundee Technology Centre, IT and Business Campus, Centre for People Development and Open Learning Unit.

Select the campus associated with your chosen programme.

Do not assume that every programme is offered at every Majuba campus.

Step 8: Select your programme

Review the available programme options carefully.

Majuba’s published programme information includes fields such as:

NC(V):

Engineering and Related Design
Electrical Infrastructure Construction
Civil Engineering and Building Construction
Primary Agriculture
Office Administration
Hospitality
Tourism

Report 191/NATED:

Engineering Studies
Business Studies

The college also offers artisan, apprenticeship, learnership and other occupational training opportunities.

Choose the programme that matches your intended career path and the qualifications you have already completed.

Step 9: Complete the online application form

Enter all requested personal and academic information.

Check the following carefully:

Full name
ID/passport number
Date of birth
Email address
Cellphone number
Residential address
Academic history
Latest results
Programme selection
Campus selection

Make sure the information matches your supporting documents.

Step 10: Upload your supporting documents

Upload the required documents through the application portal.

Prepare clear digital copies before starting the application.

Typical documents include:

Certified ID copy
Latest academic results
Proof of residence
Parent/guardian documentation where applicable
Passport and immigration documents for international applicants

Majuba’s published prospectus specifically lists identity documentation, parent/guardian ID documentation, latest academic results and foreign-student documentation among the application documents.

Step 11: Review your application

Before submitting, check every section carefully.

Make sure:

Your personal information is correct.
Your programme is correct.
Your campus is correct.
Your academic results are correct.
Your documents are readable.
Every mandatory field has been completed.

An incorrect cellphone number or email address can make it difficult for the college to communicate with you.

Step 12: Submit the application

Once everything is complete, submit your application through the portal.

Do not assume that completing the profiler or placement assessment means you have applied.

The final application submission is the important step that sends your application to the college for processing.

Save:

Application/reference number
Username
Password
Confirmation message
Copies of uploaded documents

Step 13: Track your application

Return to the online portal regularly to check your application status.

Also monitor:

Email
SMS
College application notifications

If the college asks you to correct a document or provide additional information, respond as quickly as possible.

Required Supporting Documents

Prepare your supporting documents before beginning your Majuba 2027 application.

The documents commonly identified in Majuba’s application materials include:

Certified South African ID copy
Latest academic results
Grade 11 results, where these are the latest results available
Grade 12 Statement of Results or matric certificate, where applicable
Proof of residence
Parent/guardian ID, where applicable
Passport, for international applicants
Study/immigration documentation, where required
Foreign qualification documentation where applicable

Majuba’s prospectus specifically states that applicants must submit supporting documentation and identifies parent/guardian ID, latest academic results, identification/birth documentation and foreign-student study documentation among the required materials.

ID Document

South African applicants should prepare a clear copy of their South African ID.

Make sure the entire document is visible and readable.

International applicants should prepare a valid passport.

Do not upload a cropped or blurry identification document.

Grade 11 and Grade 12 Results

Matriculants and gap-year students should have their latest academic documents available.

Depending on your application and programme, this may include:

Grade 11 final results
Grade 12 Statement of Results
Matric certificate
Latest school report
Previous qualification or academic transcript

Majuba’s NC(V) prospectus indicates that entry-level NC(V) applicants can use a year-end school report from Grade 9, 10 or 11, or a Grade 12 certificate, depending on the programme and level.

Therefore, applicants should follow the exact document instructions displayed for their selected programme rather than assuming Grade 12 is required for every course.

Proof of Address

Proof of residence should be prepared before starting the application.

Current Majuba application guidance identifies proof of residence among the documents normally uploaded during the online application process.

Use a clear, current document that shows your residential address.

If the proof of residence is not in your name, check the college’s current instructions for acceptable alternatives before submitting.

Do not upload an unclear document simply because it contains an address.

Parent or Guardian Documents

Applicants who are minors or whose application circumstances require parental information should also prepare:

Certified parent/guardian ID
Relevant supporting financial documentation where requested

Majuba’s published prospectus specifically identifies certified copies of guardian/parent ID among the supporting documents.

International Applicants

International applicants should prepare:

Valid passport
Foreign school-leaving certificate
Academic transcripts/results
Proof of residence where requested
Valid study permit, where applicable
Foreign qualification documentation
SAQA evaluation documentation where required
Any additional documents requested by Majuba

Majuba’s prospectus specifically identifies SAQA-approved foreign qualifications and study permits for foreign students among the documentation relevant to international applicants.

International applicants should confirm their exact documentation requirements directly with Majuba before submitting.

Application Fee & Payment Details

Majuba TVET College’s available application information indicates that there is no application fee.

Majuba’s published prospectus states:

Application fee: R0
Applicants are not required to pay an application fee simply to submit the application.

Recent Majuba application guidance also warns applicants about fraudulent requests for money connected to application processing or attempts to guarantee admission.

Therefore:

Application fee: R0
Do not pay an unofficial agent to submit your application.
Do not pay anyone who promises guaranteed admission.
Do not send money to a personal bank account merely to “secure” a place.

However, applicants should distinguish between the application fee and later tuition, registration, accommodation or other study costs.

Students who need financial assistance should also apply separately for NSFAS where eligible.

What Happens After You Apply?

Submitting your application does not automatically mean that you have been accepted.

After submitting:

Check your application status regularly.
Monitor your email and cellphone.
Respond to any request for additional documentation.
Complete any outstanding assessment.
Wait for the official application outcome.
Follow the college’s registration instructions if you receive an offer.

Keep your application reference number because it can be useful when communicating with the college.

If a document is rejected, correct and replace it as soon as possible.

What to Do If You Miss the Primary Application Deadline

If you miss the main 2027 application period, do not assume that Majuba will automatically accept a late application.

Majuba has previously had different application periods for different intakes and programmes, including later engineering application opportunities.

If you miss the main deadline:

Check the official Majuba website immediately for a new application announcement.
Log into the application portal to see whether your programme is still available.
Check for a second-semester or trimester intake.
Ask whether your chosen programme has another application period.
Check other Majuba campuses for available programmes.
Contact the college directly if the portal is unclear.
Keep your documents ready for the next official application window.
Consider another public TVET college if Majuba has closed applications for your preferred programme.
Never pay an agent who promises guaranteed late admission.

A later application opportunity depends on programme capacity and the college’s official announcement. A previous late or second-intake opportunity should not be treated as a guarantee that one will be available for 2027.
