Why you should consider studying at college

Message from the Principal/CEO:
Unemployment in the Western Cape
• Is estimated at 17.2%.
• 80% of the unemployed are youth.
Don't be another statistic.

False Bay TVET College (FBC) programmes are strategically positioned to address scarce and critical skills to ensure that college graduates are trained in fields where there are good prospects of employment. This means that, with your qualification as your springboard, you can pursue a viable career that is both satisfying and lucrative.

Why you should consider studying at college

False Bay TVET College is a gateway to employment, self-employment and higher education through accessible, relevant, quality training programmes as part of lifelong learning.

  • We have a dedicated Job Placement Unit to assist graduates to enter the world of work.
  • The college has formal agreements with 13 SETAs and funding for training and job placement agreements with a number of government and state-owned enterprises. We have placement agreements with over 200 companies.
  • The college has signed agreements with two universities (CPUT and UNISA) to offer L5 Higher Certificates. The college is collaborating with the four universities in the province to ensure improved access and articulation between TVET colleges and universities.
  • The college has recently established a Centre for Entrepreneurship in partnership with the Department of Small Business Development.

We aim to keep learning relevant and you, our student, engaged by incorporating state-of-the-art facilities with the benefit of competent lecturers who are there to partner you on your learning programme.

FBC has Open Learning Centres (OLC) at each campus with internet access to harness the collective power of technology and ideas to inspire learning. Our newly built campus cafeterias will provide a meeting point for you to socialise and a hub for academic knowledge sharing in a relaxed and informal environment.

At False Bay TVET College we are firmly committed to the development of you as an individual and we always encourage you to be the best you can be and to have the courage to believe in yourself and your dreams. This is the context for our youth training and development programme known as MOT, a Norwegian word that translates into courage. It is offered as a platform to help you develop your social and life skills such as communication, decision-making, leadership, problem-solving and crisis management tools, all invaluable assets in life that offer a way to negotiate healthy relationships and develop positive self-esteem.

At FBC we strive for excellence and encourage you to excel at your studies and urge you to participate in our on-going events and activities. If at any time you have questions that need answering or you are looking to advice or support, you can speak to our qualified and professional Student Support Officer situated at each of our campuses.

We invite you to apply for 2016. Share in our vision: to be the most successful, prestigious and respected Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) College in South Africa. I look forward to seeing you on campus and wish you every success with your studies.

Yours sincerely,
C. Kruger
