King Hintsa TVET College 2025 Online Application

On this page, we guide applicants through each step of the 2025 online application for King Hintsa TVET College. Serving communities across the Eastern Cape, King Hintsa College offers a range of programmes across five campuses to help students develop the skills they need to succeed. Follow these steps carefully to complete your application and ensure your information is accurate and complete.

Step 1: Create Your Account and Complete Career Guidance

Start by creating your account on the King Hintsa College Application Portal. Follow these steps to set up your profile:

1. Click on the “first time here?” button to create a new account.
2. Choose a username and password you’ll remember, as this will be essential for logging in, tracking your application, and accessing other platform features.
3. If you lose your login details, use the “RETURNING USER” button to reset and recover your username or password.

Next, complete the Career Guidance Exploration:

• Go to the “pre-entry information” section and start the career guidance screening. This section is compulsory and aims to help you identify the best programme based on your skills and interests.
• Complete all screening assessments in the folder by answering each question to the best of your ability, even if you’re uncertain of some answers.
• When finished, click the “FINISH” button to save your results.

Important Notes for Career Guidance:

• This screening is required for all applicants, but you still have the choice of which programme to pursue. If you decide to ignore the recommendation, you’ll be asked to sign an acknowledgment form confirming your decision.
• The assessment is meant to help you make an informed choice, so answer honestly and independently. Letting someone else complete this step for you may result in an inaccurate recommendation, potentially impacting your academic performance.

Step 2: Complete the Placement Assessment

Once you’ve finished the Career Guidance step, proceed to the Placement Assessment to evaluate your literacy, numeracy, and course suitability.

1. Log back into your profile and navigate to the Placement Assessment section.
2. Complete each assessment component independently—this isn’t a test but an evaluation to help the college identify the support you’ll need in your selected programme.

Important Points for Placement Assessment:

• This assessment is also compulsory and is a key factor in supporting your success at King Hintsa College.
• Ensure that you complete this section without assistance, as outside help could affect your course recommendation and your academic performance.

Step 3: Complete the Online Application Form

With your assessments complete, move on to the final step: filling out the online application form. This is essential to finalise your application, as incomplete forms cannot be processed.

1. Go to the application section in your profile and provide your personal information, including your name, contact details, and date of birth.
2. Enter your educational background and qualifications.
3. Upload all required documents in PDF format, ensuring each document is clearly legible. Required documents typically include:

• ID document
• Grade 12 certificate or recent school report
• Proof of residence

1. When you’ve completed all sections and uploaded the necessary documents, click the “Submit” button to finalise your application.

Important Application Notes:

• Application notifications will be sent via SMS after the closing date.
• You can track your application status by logging into the student portal with your username and password.
• King Hintsa College does not charge any application or registration fees, so be wary of fraudulent requests for payment.
