WHAT IS A PUBLIC FET?

Public Further Education and Training (FET) colleges strive 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. You will gain invaluable life skills to meet the many challenges of the working world with more than just a qualification on paper.

Public FET Colleges also work closely with players and stakeholders from various industries to help fulfill the great need that exists for trained, skilled and qualified employees through customized education and training programmes.

FET Colleges are able to offer the following qualifications: 

1. National Diplomas
   A National Diploma (M+3) Qualification is awarded to students who have completed their N4 – N6 in a specific field at an FET College, and are able to provide proof that the required relevant in-service training period has been completed.  The full duration including completion of studies and in-service training is usually 3 years.
