Profile

The Garden Route is one of South Africa’s best-known regions, but there’s far more to it than beautiful scenery. Behind the tourism industry are businesses, workshops, farms and technical trades that rely on skilled people, and South Cape TVET College has spent years helping to meet that demand. It’s a college that has grown with the region rather than apart from it.

With campuses in George, Mossel Bay, Oudtshoorn, Hessequa, Beaufort West and Bitou, the college reaches students across a large part of the Western Cape. That means learners from coastal towns and inland communities can access vocational education without travelling to Cape Town.

Students can choose from a wide range of TVET courses in the Western Cape, including Engineering Studies, Business Studies and Hospitality. Tourism at South Cape TVET College is a popular option, reflecting the area’s thriving visitor economy, while engineering programmes continue to prepare students for technical careers across the province.
