Coastal KZN TVET College Late Applications 2026: How to Apply Before Spaces Run Out

Coastal KZN TVET College has opened late applications for the 2026 academic year, giving learners who missed the main intake another chance to secure placement at one of KwaZulu-Natal’s largest public TVET colleges.

Late applications are limited and competitive, and acceptance depends on available space, academic merit, and programme demand. Submitting an application does not guarantee admission, but applying early significantly improves your chances.

Important Things to Know Before You Apply

Late applications are processed online only and must be completed within the official late application window. Applications submitted outside this period will not be considered.

You can apply using:

• A cellphone
• A laptop
• A desktop computer

This application process is for first-time applicants only. Applicants who skipped a trimester, semester, or academic year will be treated as new applicants.

The college does not charge any administration or registration fees.

Documents Required for Late Applications

Before starting your application, make sure you have the following certified documents saved in PDF format:

• Grade 12 certificate, statement of results, or latest school report
• South African ID document
• Proof of residence

Incomplete or incorrectly uploaded documents may result in your application not being processed.

How the Coastal KZN TVET College Application Process Works

Late applications follow a three-step process. All three steps must be completed for your application to be assessed.

Step 1: Career Guidance Exploration

What you must do:

• Register by selecting “First time here?”
• Complete all sections in the pre-entry information folder

• Answer honestly, even if unsure

These include:

• Course selection

This is not a pass-or-fail test. The results are used to support your academic success and proper placement.

Do not allow anyone else to complete this assessment on your behalf.

Step 3: Online Application Submission

This is the final and most important step.

You must:

• Complete all required sections
• Upload certified documents in PDF format
• Review your information carefully
• Click Submit

If you do not submit the application, it will not be assessed.
