About College of Cape Town

The College of Cape Town is the oldest Technical and Vocational Education and Training Institution in South Africa with a proud history dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. As the name suggests, it is based in Cape Town.

Four former technical colleges, Athlone College, Cape College, Sivuyile College and Western Province Technical College were officially merged on 1 February 2002 to become the College of Cape Town. This arose from a rationalization in TVET Colleges in which some 150 colleges around the country were reduced to about 50.

College of Cape Town 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 college 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. College of Cape Town seven campuses include:

Athlone Campus
City Campus
