False Bay College

False Bay College

False Bay College is located in Cape Town, South Africa.

False Bay College forms part of the band of education known as further education and training (FET). They offer FET courses from NQF levels 2 to 4. Eighty per cent of courses are in this band, and 20 per cent are on higher education and adult basic education and training (ABET). The college was formed in 2002 through the merger of two Cape Town technical colleges.

They focus on courses that are relevant to their location, while positioning themselves nationally to be the leaders in various niche areas. They have identified and created programmes to develop scarce skills that have urgent national priority, such as science and technology.

The Centre for Science and Technology, for example, prepares disadvantaged school-goers for university, by teaching mathematics, physical science, biology, and computer studies. This full-time three-year programme is offered in both English and the students’ home language, Xhosa. They have had an astounding 100% pass rate for four years running.

Another way the college is helping to develop appropriate skills is by setting up a National Boat-Building Academy. The leisure boat-building industry approached them to establish this academy.
