How to Apply

Your BTVI admission experience will be individualised. To be considered for admission, you need to submit the following documents:

  • Completed BTVI admission application – apply online through the BTVI web portal at btvi.edu.bs
  • Proof of Citizenship: Valid E-Passport
  • National Insurance Smart Card
  • Current Police Certificate
  • A completed BTVI Medical Form that has been dated, signed and stamped by a medical doctor
  • Submission of a receipt proving payment of the nonrefundable application fee 

Here’s a list of additional documents and things to keep in mind: 

  • Academic certificates in Mathematics and English with a letter grade of “C” or higher (BJC, BGCSE, GCE and CXC)
  • Official transcript from high school, college or university. Transcripts must be enclosed in an envelope stamped and sealed by the institution sending them or sent directly from the institution via electronic mail.
