is designed to enable applicants who do not initially satisfy VTDI\u2019s matriculation requirements, to matriculate into VTDI\u2019s programmes. A menu of courses is offered in a variety of areas. The number of courses to be selected by each applicant is dependent on the level\/quantity of qualification that they already possess.
