Diploma Ceremony

Diplomas are awarded annually to students who have completed the theoretical and practical components of their qualifications.  Students are notified by email as well as telephone.  To all Mnambithi TVET College students, please remember to inform the College of any changes in personal contact details. Tokens of appreciation are awarded annually to those students who have achieved the average highest mark in their respective courses offered.  Students are notified by email and telephone. 

Student Tracking

Over and above the fact that the College need to contact the students with relation to the Diploma- and Prize-giving ceremonies, we value our students and want to know if our students were placed in the workplace and how they progressed in industry.  Many of our former students are now CEO’s and influential business men and women and are used as motivational speakers at ceremonies.  Therefore it is important to keep the College informed of your contact details and work status.

Application for National Certificate or Diploma

Students who have completed N6 and have the acquired the relevant work experience should contact the Student Administration Office to complete the necessary documentation to apply for their National Diploma.  The Diploma may only be issued by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) not by Mnambithi TVET College. Students who have successfully completed their qualifications can obtain a copy of their statement of results/certificates N1 - N6 from the Student Administration Office on campus.  National Certificates are issued by the DHET.  Students must enquire from their respective campus if National Certificates and Diplomas have been received from the DHET.
