2026 at a glance

Year totals: 154 lecturing days · 209 lecturing staff service days

NC(V) internal examinations are written in the second or third term, for at most fourteen days.
On lecturing staff service days there are no students on campus: lecturers use them for lesson and assessment planning, meetings, training, work-integrated learning and administration.
All NATED (Report 191) examinations are quality assured by the Quality Council for Trades & Occupations (QCTO).
Final examination dates were revised at Umalusi's request, so that exams run smoothly and results are released on time.
Occupational programmes have two registration cycles, January/February and July/August, which also helps with NSFAS administration. The college plans each programme's rotation with employers, and opens and closes on the dates of this calendar.
