Step-by-Step: How to Apply at ORBIT TVET College for 2027
To apply at Orbit TVET College for the year 2027, please follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Complete Career Guidance Screening
Before you start the application, ORBIT College requires all students to complete a Career Guidance and Placement Test. This ensures you apply for a course that suits your strengths and interests.
- Visit: https://learnerprofiler.co.za/?c=orb21stl
- Create a profile and complete the full assessment (including numeracy and literacy).
- Save your results, as you may need them for your application.
This screening is a vital part of the process for most technical qualifications, including hospitality courses at TVET colleges or even studying teaching courses at TVET colleges.
Step 2: Apply for NSFAS (if needed)
If your household income is below R350,000 per year, you may qualify for NSFAS funding, which covers tuition, accommodation, meals, and transport. It is important to understand why TVET college students get less NSFAS money than university students when planning your budget for 2027.
