Both NCV and NATED programmes are eligible for full funding through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) for students who meet the qualifying criteria. This can greatly alleviate the financial pressure associated with tertiary education.
For students pursuing part-time studies, the fees are set at 70% of the full programme costs. While a 50% deposit is standard, prospective students may find flexibility as this amount can be a subject for negotiation with the respective campus manager.
