Northlink certificates waiting too long
I was doing a Wholesale and Retail Management course at Northlink College, Parow Campus from Level 1 to Level 3. I started in January 2016 till April 2019 and I have never gotten any of my certificates. The only thing we got were the statements of results and that was it. I have been to the Campus a thousand times and the only thing I have gotten was that they are still waiting for the W&R Seta for the certificates. It's been 6 years waiting and I'm tired now. All I want is my certificates because workplaces wants certificates not SOR. I tried writing emails but I haven't gotten any response so I don't know what to do now.

Northlink College PATHETIC online applications
If I could give a ZERO star that is exactly what I would do. Firstly the application process is one BIG F up online, not user friendly and getting hold of anyone telephonically is even worse. I've tried since 2024 to register and enroll ended up giving up on the process. Finally 2025 I managed to get hold of an actual person responding to email correspondence and student profile was created. Only to also get ghosted on the question about a bridging 1 year or so for the artisans trade. The rejection letter for the fields my son is interested in pursuing after his working GAP year, but there is no information of a bridging 1 year course that can be done for enrollment the following semester if you really want to pursue a career in a artisans trade field. NOT EVERYONE IS INTERESTED IN TOURISM, BUSINESS MANAGEMENT OR HOSPITALITY. I don't understand, if this is self funded, no NASFAS why this institution is so pathetic. Do you not want customers??? Northlink do better, your process stinks! There are more matriculants coming, and your staff is not equipped for online procedures. Would you be able to help walk-in clients better? I really hope so. Get with the times we are in 2026 and your online application process is upside down.

Northlink College Goodwood Campus provides insufficient info for registration process.
My daughter registered for an ECD course on 8 Jan 2026 at the Goodwood Campus. Registration was between 8-12 Jan. 2026. No emailed or sms notification was sent to ANY of the students to ensure they bring Police Clearances. Everyone was only informed upon arrival, which caused so much chaos, panic and uncer*****y. Students having to travel as far as Bellville and Paarl for clearances as Goodwood only does that Mondays and Tuesdays. Students were told they were advised via sms but this was untrue. Only on 13 Jan. 2026 students received sms's informing them to bring Police clearances - note AFTER CLOSING OF REGISTRATION for ECD Course, they were informed to bring the clearances. On day of registration they were also only told they have to submit their CV's which was not told to them prior to arrival. Fortunately, I had all the info on email with me and could email same to the assistant. Northlink should really up their game. When sending the email with the Registration Process info - PLEASE add that students are to have Police Clearance AND their CV's with them!!!! there were students crying - going into panic as they came from the Eastern Cape, unknown to the area for police clearances, etc. TOTALLY UNORGANIZED AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I must say Ms Sinethemba Thole was excellent with her assisting and guiding skills on 08/01/2026! She was so patient and friendly under the chaos arising, explaining down to a T and her calming & knowledgeable demeanor was so refreshing. Atleast she was a positive for the day. I made above suggestions to staff as it was total chaos with the lack of required information.

Almost a year after spending close to 80000 rand at Belhar Campus - follow up review on my previous review.
This is a follow-up to my previous review. I felt compelled to add more in order to fully convey the gravity of my experience with this institution of higher learning after almost three years of education. I received my Red Seal certification about a year ago and was recently invited to an award ceremony, despite being unemployed for all this time since qualifying. You can't make this up. During my unemployment, I discovered that there are people working on 11kV lines without a single certificate in the area where I live. Imagine what that must feel like. I'm writing this to highlight the outrageous situation in South Africa, where first-time pass electrical students can be unemployed, while the unqualified are working with 11kV power lines for R5,500 a month. We live in a country where you're unable to get a job as an unqualified graphic designer, but you can work on high-voltage lines and equipment without any certification. This should serve as a warning to anyone considering becoming an electrician in South Africa. It’s not worth the time or effort to spend your money at Northlink to become a qualified artisan. My life is a testament to this harsh reality. Qualified first-time pass students sit at home while the uncertified are employed. This is the reality of the electrical trade industry in South Africa. If you want to know why buildings collapse here, you don't need to look very far. You have been warned. P.S. I still haven't received my Red Seal certificate, even after 10 months have passed.

Terrible and ***********
One of the worst experiences in my search for institutions for 2025 studies. Website disfunctional, no course info, super unprofessional staff, phone numbers that are not working...definitely not hands I'd put my money and career plans in. Calling in to the Belville campus only to be blind transferred, calling back only for the call to be droppe, twice! Oh and your website does not work either

Northlink Bellville Campus in Capetown is a ****
My child was informed at the end of term 1 that there will be no lecturers available to teach term/level 2. And that the only lecturers thst they can find, for the course he is doing is only avaialable in November 2024.the child is currently at home, trying to find apprenticeship, the very same apprenticeship that was promised by the school, and the school is currently mum about it. Parents have not recieved any communication about this dilemma. So, whatever you do, just do not send your child to Northlink Bellville.
