As a result, TVET Colleges have priority when the National Student Financial Scheme allocates funding to qualifying students, since they transfer practical vocational skills into the country’s workforce and economy.

The fact that TVET Colleges almost double the number of universities means that they also have priority in funding allocations by NSFAS when it comes to student funding.

In addition, he stressed that only distance TVET college students are entitled to the personal care allowance, which is worth R3,045 per month.

Students participating in simulated training at TVET colleges who are not NSFAS-eligible because of their job contracts may, however, be eligible for allowances if they are registered for occupational qualification.

TVET colleges in South Africa provide technical and vocational education to individuals seeking employment skills.

The colleges offer a range of courses in areas such as engineering, construction, business, and information technology, among others. 

In addition to preparing students for employment, TVET colleges focus on meeting the needs of the South African economy through the programs they offer.

Individuals, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, can gain the skills and knowledge they need to secure job opportunities and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
