About Taletso TVET College
Committed to providing high-quality vocational education and training to empower our students and community.
Taletso TVET College is the result of a merger between Lehurutshe College of Education, Mafikeng College and Lichtenburg College. The three campuses are situated in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality of the North West Province and are ±80km from each other, with the Central Office situated at 1244 DF Malan, Libertas-Golfview, Mafikeng.
The College targets students around Itsoseng, Bodibe, Lichtenburg, Boikhutso, Biesiesvlei, Sannieshof, Ottosdal, Coligny, Mahikeng, Lehurutshe, Zeerust and Botswana, but is open to other areas.
We offer unique courses that are work-related, preparing students to enter the job market immediately after obtaining their qualifications — both in National Certificate Vocational (NC (V)) and Report 191 (Nated) Engineering and Business Studies.
This means that when students enrol for TVET Courses, the training and course material they receive will prepare them for a specific career and help them to better their skills to flourish in that specific field.
To be a dynamic institution committed to growing skilled people for a better future.
To strive to create an institution of excellence that provides high-quality, demand-led programmes to support skills development in South Africa.
