Every public TVET college in South Africa, by province

South Africa has 50 public technical and vocational education and training colleges. They are funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training, operate under the Continuing Education and Training Colleges Act, and offer National Certificate Vocational and NATED (Report 191) qualifications alongside occupational programmes. Students at all of them are eligible for NSFAS funding.

Almost every college runs several campuses, often across a wide area, so the town in the college’s name is rarely the only place it teaches.

Choosing between them

Programme mix follows the local economy more than it follows the province. Colleges in the coalfields and on the platinum belt carry heavier engineering and artisan trade offerings. Colleges in agricultural districts offer farming management and agri-processing. Colleges in the metros carry more business studies, information technology and hospitality.
