Understanding the costs associated with higher education is a key step for any prospective student. This guide provides a detailed look at the Coastal TVET College tuition and fees structure for the 2027/2028 academic year.

Understanding Tuition Fee Policies

Coastal TVET College requires all students to be responsible for their own tuition fees. For students who do not qualify for financial aid, such as through NSFAS, a minimum deposit is required at the time of registration. This deposit is a portion of the total course fees and must be paid on the registration date.

The remaining balance of the tuition fees is typically paid through installments. These payments must be completed before students are allowed to sit for their final examinations. Students who are unable to pay their fees in full are required to complete and sign an acknowledgement of debt, formalizing their payment plan with the institution.

NC(V) Programme Costs (Levels 2-4)

The National Certificate (Vocational) or NC(V) programs are offered at Levels 2 through 4. The fees for these full-year programs vary depending on the specific course of study.

NATED (Report 191) Course Fees

The NATED (Report 191) programs are structured differently, often involving trimesters. The fee structure for these courses also depends on whether the student is pursuing engineering studies or business and general studies.

For engineering studies, students not receiving NSFAS funding must pay the full course tuition fee on the day of registration. For business and general studies, non-NSFAS bursary students must also pay their course tuition fee in full. Alternatively, they can pay a minimum of 50% of the semester course fees at registration, with the remaining balance due on the first day of the next term.
