A crucial part of the application process for all programmes is the compulsory online pre-entry assessment (placement test).

Unlike universities, most TVET colleges do not use the standard university APS score system; admission is primarily based on meeting the specified minimum qualification and subject requirements.
For NATED Engineering Studies, a Matric with Mathematics and Physical Sciences, or an NCV Level 4 in a related field, is necessary. NATED Business Studies requires a Matric with relevant commercial subjects, or an NCV Level 4 in a related field.

For prospective students, a non-refundable administrative registration fee, typically ranging from R500 to R1,000, is usually required upon registration. Programme tuition fees for NATED programmes are estimated to be between R600 to R1,200 per subject per semester.
