Key Takeaways: The “Secret” System
- The System: Almost every TVET college in South Africa uses the same system called Coltech (or iEnabler). If you know how to use one, you know how to use them all.
- The Login: Your Username is usually your Student Number. Your Password is usually a 5-Digit PIN.
- The Default Pin: If you are a new student, your default PIN is often your Date of Birth (DDMMYY) or
010101.- What you can do: You can check Exam Results, print Proof of Registration, and see your Class Attendance.
- The App: There is no single “My TVET” app for all colleges. You must use the specific website link for your college (listed below).
You registered in January. You attended classes. Now, you need your Proof of Registration for the NSFAS bus driver, or you want to see if you passed N4.
But when you Google “TVET Portal,” you get lost in a sea of broken links and “Page Not Found” errors.
Here is the truth: Most colleges do not build their own websites. They use a standard system called iEnabler. Once you understand how this system works, you can log in to almost any college portal in seconds.
Here is your universal guide to accessing your student profile in 2026.
1. The “Golden Links”: Find Your College
Do not just Google “Student Portal.” Use the direct iEnabler links below. (If your college isn’t listed, see the trick at the bottom).
| College | Direct Portal Link |
| Majuba TVET | majuba.coltech.co.za |
| Motheo TVET | motheo.coltech.co.za |
| Northlink TVET | ienabler.northlink.co.za |
| Vuselela TVET | vuselela.coltech.co.za |
| Ekurhuleni West (EWC) | ienabler.ewc.edu.za |
| South West Gauteng | swgc.coltech.co.za |
| Tshwane North (TNC) | ienabler.tnc.edu.za |
| Capricorn TVET | capricorn.coltech.co.za |
| Gert Sibande | gscollege.coltech.co.za |
| Umfolozi TVET | umfolozi.coltech.co.za |
The Trick: If your college isn’t here, type this into your browser: [college name].coltech.co.za. It works 80% of the time.
2. How to Login (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Select “Student”
When you open the page, you will see a blue sidebar on the left.
- Click on “Student” (or sometimes just “Login”).
Step 2: Enter Username
- Username: This is your Student Number.
- Note: If you don’t know it, check your student card or your acceptance SMS. It usually starts with the year you first registered (e.g.,
26...).
Step 3: Enter Password (The Pin)
- Password: This is a 5-digit PIN. It is NOT a complex password like “P@ssword123”.
- Default Pin: If you have never logged in, try your Date of Birth (e.g.,
980101for 1 Jan 1998) or the last 5 digits of your ID.
Step 4: Login
- Click “Login.” You should see your name appear on the top right.
3. Troubleshooting: “I Forgot My Pin”
This happens to everyone. Do not go to the Admin office yet.
Method A: The “Forgot Pin” Button
- Enter your Student Number in the username box.
- Leave the password box empty.
- Click the button that says “Forgot Pin” or “Request A Pin”.
- Check your SMS: The system will immediately SMS the pin to the cell number you used when you applied.
Method B: “System Error” / No SMS
- If you don’t get the SMS, it means you changed your phone number.
- Fix: You must go to the campus Student Support or Admin office with your ID and ask them to update your cell number on the system. You cannot do this online.
Method C: “Student Number Not Found”
- This usually means you are not fully registered yet, or you are typing the number wrong. Ensure you aren’t using your ID number as the username.
4. What Can You Do on the Portal?
Once you are in, don’t just stare at the screen. Here is where the gold is hidden.
1. Check Exam Results
- Go to “Student Enquiry” > “Academic Admission Status” or “Exam Results”.
- You can see your marks for N1-N6 here before the printed statement arrives.
2. Print Proof of Registration
- Go to “Student Enquiry” > “Proof of Registration”.
- Click “Download PDF”.
- Tip: Save this on your phone. You will need it for bus discounts, opening a bank account, and NSFAS queries.
3. Check Financial Balance
- Go to “Student Enquiry” > “Fee Enquiry”.
- It will show if NSFAS has paid your fees or if you owe money.
4. Class Attendance
- Some colleges upload your attendance here. If you are below 80%, you might be blocked from the exam. Check this monthly.
5. The “My TVET” App vs. The Portal
Confusion Alert:
There is a generic app called “TVET SA” on the Play Store.
- The App: Contains past papers and general news. It is not linked to your college database.
- The Portal: Is the only place that has your personal marks and registration data.
Recommendation: Use the App for studying (past papers), but use the Coltech Portal for admin.
Summary: Save Your Pin
Your student portal is your lifeline. If you lose access, you are flying blind.
Action Plan:
- Test your Login Today: Click your college link above and try to log in.
- Save the Password: Write your Student Number and Pin in your phone’s “Notes” app.
- Check your Number: If you changed your SIM card recently, go to the college tomorrow to update it, or the “Forgot Pin” button won’t work when you really need it.
Disclaimer: System availability depends on the college IT network. Portals often go offline during peak registration weeks.
