It is a public college campus, so fees are low and NSFAS funds eligible students. Applications for 2027 are open from 1 to 30 September 2026, and applying takes three steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The three application steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Career questionnaire:<\/strong> complete the Go Study career questionnaire linked from the college website, which helps match you to a programme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Placement test:<\/strong> write the compulsory online placement test at <a href=\"https:\/\/learnerprofiler.com\/?c=umfo21stl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">learnerprofiler.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Application:<\/strong> apply on the college&#8217;s portal at <a href=\"https:\/\/umfolozi.coltech.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">umfolozi.coltech.co.za<\/a> and upload your documents.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents to upload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your academic record or certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of residence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your next of kin&#8217;s ID<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programmes at Richtek for 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Programme type<\/th><th>Programmes on the 2027 application notice<\/th><th>Entry<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>NC(V) Level 2<\/td><td>IT and Robotics; Engineering and Related Design; Electrical Infrastructure Construction<\/td><td>Grade 9 or higher<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Occupational certificates<\/td><td>Computer Technician (NQF 5); Bookkeeper (NQF 5); Office Administrator (NQF 5); Tourism Information Officer (NQF 5); Electrician (NQF 4)<\/td><td>Set per programme<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campus page also still lists NATED business N4 to N6 and engineering N2 to N6. NATED N1 to N3 closed to new students on 1 January 2024 and N4 to N6 is being phased out, so the 2027 intake centres on the NC(V) and occupational programmes.
