I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Umbilo Pvt Technical College regarding their enrollment practices for the N1 to N3 programs. According to the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) website, TVET colleges are no longer permitted to enroll students for N1 to N3 programs as of the 2023/2024 academic year.
Despite this, I was enrolled in vocational training and N1 courses at Umbilo Pvt Technical College in January 2025, after completing my matriculation. The college's employees, including the principal, insisted that these courses were government requirements, which I later discovered to be false. When I questioned the principal about this discrepancy, I was met with a rude and unprofessional response.
Further investigation revealed that other students with similar matriculation backgrounds were enrolled directly into N2 courses without being required to complete vocational training or N1. This inconsistency and misrepresentation of government requirements have caused me significant concern.
I request assistance in resolving this matter, not only for my own benefit but also to ensure that future students are not misled by the college's practices, which appear to be in conflict with DHET regulations.
