Comprehensive Application Guidelines 2024-2025
Admission to Chatsmed Candlelight Nursing School requires compliance with the statutory criteria based on the National Senior Certificate (NSC) or an equivalent qualification for higher certificate or diploma programs. Furthermore, applicants’ educational certificates will undergo evaluation.
Provisional Admission Considerations:
- Initial assessment will take into account the interim results from the Grade 12 June/September exams or proof of pending study leave approval by the applicant’s employer.
- Final admission is contingent upon the final Grade 12 outcomes, granted study leave from the employer, and the applicant being below the college’s specified retirement age threshold (55-60 years), which applies to all programs.
Admission Point System (APS):
Chatsmed Candlelight Nursing School employs the APS to translate NSC percentages into a standardized point value:
NSC Level | NSC % Range | APS Value | Corresponding Symbol |
---|---|---|---|
7 | 80-90% | 6 | A |
6 | 70-79% | 5 | B |
5 | 60-69% | 4 | C |
4 | 50-59% | 3 | D |
3 | 40-49% | 2 | E |
2 | 30-39% | 1 | F |
1 | 0-29% | 0 | G |
For instance, a Basic Diploma application necessitates a minimum APS of 18, with specific subject requirements like Biology/Life Sciences and English at designated levels.
Example Calculation for Admission Score:
Subject | NSC % | Level | APS |
---|---|---|---|
English | 54% | 4 | 3 |
Biology/Life Sciences | 62% | 5 | 4 |
…and so forth… | |||
Total Admission Score | 21 |
Applicants surpassing the minimum APS threshold are eligible for diploma program consideration.

Enrollment is limited by the accredited capacity set by the South African Nursing Council. Meeting the minimum requirements is not a guarantee of admission. Applicants may be subjected to additional testing and interviews.
Quota System for Special Categories:
- Scholars: 50%
- Pre-NSC certificate holders: 20%

Admission Policy Notes:
