Profile

Walk through almost any campus of the College of Cape Town and you’ll notice the diversity straight away. School leavers, working adults, aspiring artisans and future entrepreneurs all share the same classrooms, each with a different goal in mind. That mix has been part of the college’s identity for years, making it one of the Western Cape’s most recognised institutions for vocational education.

As a leading TVET college in Cape Town, the college operates campuses across the city, including Athlone, Crawford, Gardens, Pinelands, Thornton and Woodstock. Their locations place students within easy reach of public transport, while also keeping them close to many of Cape Town’s commercial and industrial hubs.

The college offers a broad range of TVET courses in the Western Cape, from Engineering Studies and Business Studies to Hospitality, Hair Care, Beauty Technology and Art & Design. Hospitality at the College of Cape Town has earned particular recognition, reflecting the city’s thriving tourism industry and creating opportunities for students interested in hotels, restaurants and event management.
