Our Academic & Skills Programmes
The Gauteng CET College offers programmes defined by its Programme Qualification Mix (PQM), designed to meet learners wherever they are — from basic literacy to full Grade 12 and vocational qualifications.
Adult Education & Training (AET) Levels 1–3
These are foundational literacy programmes for adult learners. Programmes include numeracy and language instruction.
| Level | Equivalent | Subjects |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Equivalent to Grades 1–3 | Numeracy and Languages |
| Level 2 | Equivalent to Grades 4–6 | Numeracy and Languages |
| Level 3 | Equivalent to Grades 7–8 | Numeracy, Language, and option of Integrated Studies or a Skills Programme |
GETC: ABET Level 4 (NQF Level 1 — Equivalent to Grade 9)
Students who complete AET Levels 1–3 can progress to the General Education and Training Certificate (GETC: ABET), which awards 120 credits at NQF Level 1. Upon completion, students may register with TVET Colleges for National Certificate Vocational (NCV) courses, or progress to the Amended Senior Certificate.
Grade 12 — National Senior Certificate (NSC) & Amended Senior Certificate (ASC)
The Gauteng CET College offers Senior Certificate qualifications for students who were unable to complete their Matric. The Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) is available to students who are 21 years of age and older.
NSC — National Senior Certificate
Standard Grade 12 qualification.
ASC — Amended Senior Certificate
Available to learners 21 years of age and older.
Vocational Skills Programmes
The majority of students opt for the Vocational Learning Stream, which offers practical, employment-ready skills. Programmes include:
Availability of specific programmes varies by CLC. See the Accreditation page for the full list of which centres offer which programmes.
Occupational Qualifications
The college offers QCTO-registered Occupational Qualifications, developed in partnership with industry and sector bodies. These qualifications provide learners with a formal credential that is nationally recognised and occupationally relevant.
Computer and Digital Support Assistance
QCTO Occupational Certificate (offered at accredited CLCs).
Entrepreneurship Programmes
We equip our learners not just with skills, but with the mindset and tools to create their own economic opportunities. Entrepreneurship modules are integrated across programmes and offered as standalone short courses.
Accredited Short Skills Programmes
These are short, practical skills programmes — informal in format and shorter than a full qualification — but fully accredited by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) as part of our Skills Development Provider status. Learners gain nationally recognised, occupationally relevant skills in a flexible setting.
