Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Zambezi Vocational Training Centre Application/Admission
What is Vocational Education and Training?
Vocational Education and Training (VET) is that part of tertiary education and training which provides training in industry-specific and job related technical skill areas. It covers a large number of careers and industries like industrial trades, office work, retail, hospitality and technology. Individuals can also be trained in part qualifications or ‘skills sets’.
Why should I consider a technical or vocational career?
Because not all people are college/technikon/university bound, many individuals find technical and vocational training a perfect career option. Technical and vocational training provides a more meaningful option to individuals not interested in a career that requires enrolling at higher education institutions, and as such gives prospective trainees the ability to find purpose and focus on something that will matter to them.
Can I articulate into further qualifications with a technical and vocational qualification?
Yes. Vocational Education and Training qualifications can be earned to up to level 5 on the National Qualifications Framework. Pathways exist for graduates to pursue further training towards earning diploma and degree courses, later in life.
What are the entry requirements for admission to courses offered?
The entry requirement for most courses is a Grade 10 certificate. However, for some courses, applicants are required to have good grades in Mathematics and Science subjects.
