Members of the public are hereby informed that the NRDC enrolment for the 2025 intake has now commenced.
NRDC only has one intake per year, so we are now enrolling those expected to report in January 2025 if selected under Distance Learning, and in February 2025 if selected under full-time.
To be selected, an applicant needs to have Credits or better in 5 Grade 12 subjects that should include English, Mathematics and Science.
The application process is as follows:
1. Deposit the K250 application fee at any ZANACO bank branch (see page 2 of the application form for bank details).
2. The application form will be provided in our Accounts office once you present the K250 deposit slip from the bank. The Accounts office will give you a GRZ receipt. The form can also be downloaded from the links given below.
3. Fill in the form and attach a certified copy of your Grade 12 results, copy of your NRC, and the GRZ receipt for the K250 application fee.
4. Hand in your application documents at the Principal's office. If you qualify, you will be given an acceptance letter there and then.
5. You can also scan (or take clear photos) of your application documents i.e. the application form, copy of Grade 12 results, copy of your NRC, and copy of the K250 deposit slip and send them to us by email to apply@nrdc.biz
If you qualify, we will in turn email you the acceptance letter.

We will stop receiving applications on 27 Dec 2024 for distance learning, and 7 Feb 2025 for full-time. However, we stop enrolling in a particular program once we have acceptance the required/targeted number of applicants - and it is very common for most of our programs to become full way before these indicated deadlines. So the earlier one applies, the better.
