What is a National Certificate Vocational (NCV)?
Since January 2007, The National Certificate (Vocational) replaced the NATED (N1-N3) at public FET Colleges. The National Certificate (Vocational) is the new curriculum that is being introduced to FET Colleges around the country. It gives grade 9 students an alternative to an academic grade 10-12 but also gives students, who have already passed grades 10-12, the opportunity to obtain a National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 2-4 industry related qualification. These programmes were designed to incorporate both theory and practice. These qualifications are registered with Umalusi, which is also the primary ETQA of Boland College.
