Everything you need to log in, check your marks, reset your PIN, and troubleshoot your student portal — written specifically for King Hintsa TVET students.
Open Student Portal →King Hintsa TVET College is named after the legendary Xhosa king and serves communities across the Amathole, Mnquma, and Great Kei district municipalities in the Eastern Cape. The college has campuses in Butterworth, Dutywa, Komkhulu, Zwelitsha, and Centane, offering NC(V) and NATED qualifications across a wide range of vocational fields to students in one of the most historically underserved regions of South Africa.
Like all public TVET colleges in South Africa, King Hintsa TVET uses an online student portal where students can log in with their student number and PIN to view their official examination results, download their academic record, register for modules, and manage their student information.
This guide walks you through exactly how to use that portal — from logging in for the first time to troubleshooting the most common issues students encounter.
Go to ienabler.kinghintsa.edu.za. Use Google Chrome or Firefox on desktop, or Chrome/Safari on your phone. Avoid Internet Explorer or older browsers.
On the portal homepage, select the Student Login option. Do not click Staff Login — that section is only for lecturers and college employees.
Your student number is printed on your registration letter, student card, or proof of enrolment. It is typically 8–10 digits. Enter it exactly as shown — no spaces, dashes, or letters.
Your PIN was created when you first registered. If this is your first login, your default PIN is often your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format (e.g. 15 March 2002 = 15032002). Change it after logging in.
Select the correct academic year and semester from the dropdowns. If you are checking supplementary results, they may appear under a different semester code to your main exams.
Once you are logged in, the student portal gives you access to a range of academic and administrative functions — all in one place, without needing to visit the campus:
| Feature | Where to Find It | Available |
|---|---|---|
| View examination results | Student Enquiry → Examination Results | ✓ Yes |
| Download academic record | Student Enquiry → Academic Record | ✓ Yes |
| View exam timetable | Student Enquiry → Exam Timetable | ✓ Yes |
| Module registration | Registration → Module Registration | Seasonal |
| View and pay student fees | Registration → Student Fees | ✓ Yes |
| Update personal details | Student Administration → Personal Info | ✓ Yes |
| Residence application | Residence → Residence Registration | Seasonal |
Check that your student number matches exactly what is on your registration letter. If you have never logged in before, try your date of birth as PIN (DDMMYYYY format). After three failed attempts the portal may lock your account — contact your campus admin office to unlock it.
The portal requires cookies to maintain your login session. Turn off private/incognito browsing mode. In Chrome, clear cookies and cached files with Ctrl+Shift+Delete, then reload the page. Also temporarily disable browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger.
Select the correct Academic Year (e.g. 2025) and Semester from the dropdown menus. Supplementary results appear under a different semester code. If no semester shows results, they have not been uploaded yet — check again in 24–48 hours.
This means the college's server is temporarily overloaded or under maintenance — this is common during result release periods when thousands of students log in simultaneously. Wait 20–30 minutes and try again. Early morning or late evening are usually less busy times.
There is no online PIN reset option on the King Hintsa TVET student portal. To reset your PIN you must visit a campus in person:
You need a valid form of identification. Your student card is preferred. A green ID book or smart ID card is also accepted.
Any campus administration office can process a PIN reset. See the campus contact details below.
The officer will reset your PIN on the same day. You will receive a temporary PIN — log in and change it immediately to something only you know.
King Hintsa TVET operates 5 campuses across the Eastern Cape Wild Coast and Amathole region. All campuses use the same student portal and student number system.

For NC(V) (National Certificate Vocational) subjects at NQF Levels 2, 3, and 4, you need a minimum of 40% in each subject (30% in the language component of Fundamental subjects) to pass and progress to the next level. NC(V) is a year-based system — failing any subject means repeating the entire level, not just the failed subject.
For NATED (Report 191) subjects at N1 to N6 level, you also need 40% to pass. NATED is more flexible — if you fail one subject, you only repeat that specific subject and keep your passes in all other subjects.
If you fail a subject in the main exam cycle, you may qualify to write a supplementary exam (usually in January/February for November exams). Even if you score higher, your recorded mark is capped at 40% by DHET policy. The supplementary exam is purely a pass/fail gateway.
Contact the King Hintsa TVET Student Administration office at any campus within 30 days of results being published. Request a formal remark. There is a fee of approximately R100–R300 per subject, which is refunded if the remark improves your mark.
