EWC online application process
Among others, the institution's portal is open to students who are applying for the first time or who were not enrolled on any course before. Also, those who do not have an EWC Student number in any previous year are considered new students.
How do I register online with EWC?
Before you can commence the EWC online application based on your chosen course, you are expected to complete a placement test. But then, when you are about to start the test, you would be requested to do the following:
- Sign an acknowledgement that you prefer to make your own choice outside the placement screening report;
- Complete the screening yourself, or the automated system will recommend the wrong course, resulting in poor performance.
Once those points are noted, click on the "Start Screening" button. Afterwards, go back to the application page and follow these steps to apply:
- Click the online application link as a new student;
- Fill in the form with all necessary documents required to support your application;
- Once completed, submit the filled form and attached documents.
The following documents must be submitted when registering:
- An original/certified copy of your latest school report/senior certificate or highest certificate or results;
- An original/certified copy of your identity document/affidavit and photograph, in case you do not have or lost your identity document/birth certificate;
- Deposit/necessary fees;
- Proof of residential address and relevant contact details.
How much is the registration fee at Ekurhuleni West College?
A registration fee of R240 per qualification will be charged, whether you are applying for full-time, part-time or exam only, which is payable upon registration. Unfortunately, you cannot pay cash at the campus.

Instead, get the institution's customised deposit slip from the campus to make your payment. Also, remember that the registration number, as provided by the campus, must appear on the deposit slip as the reference number.
Does Ekurhuleni West College have NSFAS?
The college only helps facilitate the process of application. In case of needy students who may want to apply for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) bursary, you must upload proof of income and parents' or legal guardians' IDs.
The college offers bursaries to exceptionally needy students. However, due to bursary funds being limited, not all students who apply manage to get it. Therefore, it is necessary to note that an application for a bursary is not a guarantee that it will be awarded. Merit bursaries are awarded to students who have excelled in their field of study in the previous year/semester/trimester at EWC.
Studying at Ekurhuleni West TVET College is a dream that can come true if you are willing to pursue it once you have met all the requirements. The process begins with a comprehensive understanding of the steps involved in the EWC online application.
