TVET

TVET is an abbreviation for Technical and Vocational Education and Training.

Technical and Vocational Education and Training courses are vocational or occupational by nature meaning that the student receives education and training with a view towards a specific range of jobs, employment or entrepreneurial possibilities.  Under certain conditions, some students may qualify for admission to a University of Technology to continue their studies at a higher level in the same field of study as they were studying at the TVET College.

 

There are 50 public TVET colleges in South Africa and they are spread across the country within the 9 provinces. TVET colleges are well established in producing trade or artisan skills within the country, which as it stands are in short supply.
