Studying at JTVC

How to Apply

Application for Nated Diploma Programmes is done a year ahead of the intended year of study for Semester 1.

Semester 2 applications open in April/May and classes commence in July after the semester break.

Minimum Entry Requirements

Students intending to pursue a NATED N5–N6 engineering programme need an N4 certificate (or N4 results) in the relevant engineering field.

Duration

NATED programmes have a theoretical and a practical component. The theoretical component covers N5 and N6; each level takes 6 months, and students receive a certificate on completing each level. The National Diploma is issued only on completion of both components. The practical component is 18 months of work-based experience, recorded in a workbook signed weekly by the student and their supervisor.

Class Attendance

The college has a zero tolerance policy to poor and non-class attendance. Students need to inform their lectures if they will be absent from class, this is extremely important as poor or non-attendance could lead to serious consequences. Students need to familiarise themselves with the class attendance policy so as to avoid unsympathetic consequences.

Examination

Students will undergo a National Examination for each of the subjects they have registered, lecturers and Examination officers at each campus will notify students about examination application processes. Students must familiarise themselves with the examination policies and always adhere to the examination rules and regulations.
