According to the TVET College, the NCV certificate holder has two paths that you may choose from, with the primary one being employed in the industry by filling the skills gaps available in the country  and the other one it is to further develop your knowledge and skills at an institution of higher learning.

These skills are honed through the fundamental subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Life Orientation.

This programme has been structured in such a way that it makes it seamless to transition from the TVET training sector to a qualification offered at a University or University of Technology.

Once you have managed to obtain your qualification, then you will be able to submit it along with an application to a Higher Education Institution to be considered at the same level as all other applicants wishing to gain admission.

To make sure that the qualification offers relevant skills in the transport and logistics industry, TVET colleges in South Africa are readying themselves to ensure graduates are ready for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
