- Mathematical Literacy with at least 60 %
- All other subjects with at least 45 %
- Additional advantages (not required) – Accounting subject or NCV Finance with at least 45 %
Many applicants worry they won’t reach the marks. The minimum thresholds are low, but you still need to provide proof of each result.
What will you gain?
On successful completion you receive a nationally recognised NQF Level 4 certificate. The training covers:
- Insurance principles and products
- Customer service and business communication
- Risk management and claims handling
- Administrative and workplace practices
These skills are valued by insurers, banks, call centres and any organisation that deals with financial services. The qualification opens doors to roles such as insurance administrator, customer support agent, or junior underwriting assistant.
How to apply – step by step
- Gather the required certified documents. Each copy must be clear and not older than three months:
- Certified copy of your South African ID
- Certified copy of your next‑of‑kin’s ID
- Proof of residential address (utility bill or lease)
- Certified copy of your latest school results
- Check that your marks meet the minimum requirements listed above.
- Visit the official application portal: Eastcape Midlands TVET College online application.
- Complete the online form – fill in all personal details exactly as they appear on your ID.
- Upload each certified document in the requested format (PDF or JPG).
- Review every field for accuracy.
- Submit the application before the deadline.
Tips to improve your chances
- Prepare all documents **before** you start the online form.
- Make sure scans are legible; blurry or cropped pages are rejected.
- Double‑check that certificates are dated within the last three months.
- Confirm you have never received SETA funding; the system will cross‑check your history.
- Apply early – system traffic spikes near the deadline and technical glitches can occur.
- Read every instruction on the college’s website; missing a single upload can invalidate your application.
Insider tip: Treat the online form like a formal application, not a quick upload. Verify every mark, certify every document, and ensure your contact details are correct before you hit “Submit”.
