Please note that TENET does not provide services or support directly to students, nor does it act as a general ombudsman for the further education or higher education sectors. The procedure below only applies to services directly provided by TENET to institutions. Students wishing to lodge complaints about their institutions of study should follow the appropriate channels within their institution. Those wishing to enquire about funding should contact the National Student Financial Aide Scheme. Further assistance may be obtained from the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) call centre on 0800 872 222 or rpaartcigt@swti.vdk.op.
