About College of Cape town

As a leading provider of Education and Training in mainly the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) band, the College of Cape Town has much to offer students and prospective partners as an alternative to General Education and Training.  Our courses lead to recognised, accredited qualifications that are in high demand by commerce and industry.

The College strives to provide high-quality education and training to help you equip yourself with the qualifications and skills you need to start out on a chosen career path.

Our College is situated in the central area of the Peninsula, and serves the greater Cape Town area, including a large percentage of traditionally disadvantaged areas and townships.  Although the majority of our students hail from the greater Cape Town metropolitan region, we proudly accept students from all other regions of South Africa, Namibia and other African countries, and many countries abroad.

All campuses have well-equipped workshops, lecture rooms, computer rooms, studios for practical work and well-equipped media centres.  Our eight campuses include:

The Crawford, City and Thornton Campuses boast state of the art Open Learning Centers offering them the latest in technology.  Services include a library, computer and internet access, printing, faxing, photocopying and book-binding facilities.  We are in the process of extending the initiative to our other campuses and all students can make use of this service at any campus.  It is an initiative aimed at improving the quality of education and gives students a leading edge.

Student Support Services are available at all campuses and include services such as student counselling, career guidance, assistance with study skills, and peer education, to name but a few.
