What Is An FET College

A FET College, which stands for Further Education and Training College, presently known as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges, is a post-secondary educational institution that offers vocational training and post-secondary education to individuals who have completed their basic education (usually high school) and want to acquire practical skills, knowledge, and qualifications that are relevant to specific careers or industries.

FET colleges are widespread in nations that follow a similar educational structure to South Africa, where the notion of further education and training is a key aspect of the education system. The language and organisation may alter from one country to the next, but the core goal of delivering actual vocational education and training stays similar.
