Here is a summary of the fees structure across various programs offered at Northlink College:
National Certificate Vocational (NCV) Programs
NCV programs have varying fees depending on the field. For instance, Engineering and Related Design costs R23,785 per year for levels 2, 3, and 4, while Office Administration is priced at R11,970 annually.
More specialized courses like Primary Health charge R15,230 per year, and Safety in Society costs R12,255 annually.

Payment plans are available for South African citizens, with fees payable over 3 to 10 months, depending on the course. A 5% discount is offered if the fees are paid in full upfront.
Additional Costs for International Students
International students, including those from SADC countries, must pay an additional administration fee of R875 per academic block.
Unlike local students, international students are required to pay the full tuition fees before receiving an acceptance letter and do not qualify for financial aid.
Cancellation and Payment Policies
If you decide to cancel or terminate your course, you must inform the Programme Manager. Simply stopping attendance does not count as formal cancellation, and you will still be liable for full fees. Residence fees are also non-refundable once you’ve committed to staying.
Financial Aid and Bursaries
Eligible South African students may apply for bursaries through NSFAS for vocational programs. Unfortunately, bursaries are not available for international students.
