A strong foundation in English is mandatory, whether it's your Home Language or First Additional Language, as it is integral to all business communication.
While these are the standard prerequisites, specific programmes might have additional minimum grade requirements in certain subjects. A key part of the application process is completing a compulsory pre-entry placement test, which helps ensure you are placed in a suitable programme. Unlike university systems, Ingwe TVET College and other TVET institutions typically assess admissions based on a Diploma Pass or a strong Higher Certificate Pass, rather than a formal APS score.
