Not nursing itself: nursing qualifications are only offered at SANC-accredited nursing colleges and universities. But a TVET college can start you on a health or care career, or help you get the matric-level qualification you need first. The short answer is in do TVET colleges offer nursing?<\/a>; this page is about what you can do at a TVET college instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A route from TVET college to nursing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. If you have no matric, finish matric or check whether a nursing college accepts NC(V) Level 4 with your subjects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Build the subjects nursing colleges ask for, such as life sciences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Apply to your provincial nursing college, for example the KZN College of Nursing, or to a university Bachelor of Nursing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Check SANC accreditation before you enrol.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Be cautious with private colleges advertising “nursing” short courses. Only SANC-accredited programmes lead to registration as a nurse.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Funding: nursing colleges and NSFAS<\/a>. Majuba example: Madadeni nursing campus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Can NC(V) Level 4 get me into nursing?<\/h3>\n
    \n\n
