Adult basic education and training

Anyone who did not finish their mainstream schooling (GR 1 – 12) and wants to attain qualifications in a flexible environment may register with any ABET centre. The ABET centres may give you placement tests to determine whether you are at ABET level one, two or three.


How do I register for ABET?

Interested individuals may register from Mondays to Thursdays at all public adult learning centres located in mainstream schools. Those interested in registering can call (013) 708-5027 / 766-0734 / 801-5173 for further information.


For individuals wanting to apply for lower grades:

If you have not passed Grade 9, you can register for ABET Levels 1 to 4 using your ID, birth certificate, and any school records you may have.


ABET levels and their school equivalents are as follows

ABET Level 1 = Grade 3

ABET Level 2 = Grade 5

ABET Level 3 = Grade 7

ABET Level 4 = Grade 9 (or NQF level 1).


I am 17 years old and have only completed grade 8. Can I do Grade 9 through ABET?

You can complete Grade 9 by attending classes (either physically or by distance learning). Several organisations offer training for all grades.

Are TVET colleges free?

Studying at a public TVET college is not free. However, to ensure that they are accessible and affordable, the Department of Higher Education and Training subsidises 80% of the delivery costs, and loans are available to help students pay their tuition fees.


How much is the application fee at TVET College?

R100 application fee. You must complete the placement assessment.


Does NSFAS fund TVET colleges?

Luckily, NSFAS funds public TVET colleges, and because of that, thousands of students can further their higher education.


Does NSFAS have an age limit?

It’s also good to know that NSFAS has no age limit. You will immediately qualify for funding if you’re a Sassa grant beneficiary.


What can I study at a TVET College?

TVET Colleges can offer courses in industry fields such as agriculture, arts and culture, business, hospitality, commerce and management, education, training and development, engineering, manufacturing and technology, services, building construction and security
