1. Application and admission
Submitting this form is an application only. It does not guarantee admission, enrolment, a class place, funding, a bursary or a qualification. Admission depends on entry requirements, document verification, available places and formal confirmation from the college.
2. Accurate information
You must provide complete, truthful and up-to-date information. The college may request clarification or original/certified documents. False, misleading, altered or incomplete information may delay or invalidate an application, subject to applicable law and fair process.
3. Documents and verification
Uploaded documents must belong to the applicant or be supplied with proper authority. You are responsible for ensuring files are readable and correct. The college may verify qualifications and identity through lawful channels where necessary.
4. Fees, deposits and payment
Fees, registration charges, payment dates and any additional costs will be communicated by the college. Mining-machine combo prices shown here are indicative and must be confirmed in writing before payment. Do not submit payment-card details or cash through this form. Use only official college payment instructions and retain proof of payment.
5. Refunds, cancellations and changes
Refunds, cancellations, deferrals and programme changes are handled under the college's applicable written policies and the law. Submitting this form does not itself create a right to a refund or guarantee one. Ask the college for its current fee and refund policy before paying. Nothing here excludes a right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
6. Preferred dates and intakes
A preferred date or intake is a request, not a confirmed booking. Training dates, class commencement, campus placement and availability must be confirmed by the college. The college may propose an alternative date or intake.
7. Programme and course information
Course names, levels, machine options, prices, schedules and availability are subject to confirmation by the college. The college will advise you of applicable entry requirements and any additional documents needed.
8. Attendance, conduct and assessments
Once enrolled, students must follow the college's student rules, attendance requirements, assessment procedures, health and safety instructions and lawful directions from staff. Examination registration and eligibility may be subject to separate requirements and deadlines.
9. Mining-machine and practical training
Practical training may require safety induction, protective equipment, medical/fitness requirements, age or licence checks and compliance with site rules. Selecting a machine or combo does not confirm that every machine is available on the requested date.
10. Communication
You authorise the college to contact you using the phone number or email supplied about this application, missing documents, admission, fees, schedules and related student administration. Keep your contact details current and notify the college if they change.
11. Personal information and privacy
The college will use submitted personal information and documents to assess and administer your application, communicate with you, maintain student records and meet applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Access should be limited to authorised personnel and service providers who need the information for these purposes. Information should be handled in accordance with applicable privacy law, including POPIA where applicable, and the college's privacy notice.
12. Information security and retention
The college will take reasonable steps to protect application information. Records may be retained as needed for processing, student administration, legal obligations and legitimate recordkeeping, then securely deleted or de-identified where appropriate. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
13. Minors and representatives
If the applicant is under 18, a parent or lawful guardian may need to assist and provide required consent or supporting documents. Anyone submitting information for another person confirms they are authorised to do so.
14. No automatic payment or enrolment
This form does not collect payment and does not by itself complete enrolment. Wait for official college communication and follow the documented next steps.
15. Updates and questions
The college may update procedures where reasonably necessary and lawful. Ask the admissions office for current policies and written clarification before paying or making an important decision.
