Maluti TVET College

What Maluti TVET College does

Maluti TVET College is a public Technical Vocational Education and Training institution established on 1 September 2002 through the merger of two former Colleges of Education (Bonamelo, Sefikeng) and four Technical Colleges (Itemoheleng, Bethlehem, Kwetlisong, Lere la Tshepe). It operates under the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and is one of 50 public TVET colleges in South Africa. The college is headquartered in Phuthaditjhaba, Free State Province, and delivers programmes across 8 campuses serving the North Eastern Free State region: Main Campus (Phuthaditjhaba), Bethlehem, Harrismith, Kwetlisong, Bonamelo, Sefikeng, Itemoheleng, and Lere La Tshepe.

The college's core academic offerings are the National Certificate Vocational (NC(V)) programmes at NQF levels 2–4 and the NATED Report 191 programmes in Engineering (N1–N6), Business Studies (N4–N6), and Utility Studies (N4–N6), supplemented by SETA-accredited skills programmes in trades such as Bricklaying, Boilermaking, Welding, and Motor Mechanics. Supporting infrastructure includes the Archie mobile learning application (TVET Mathematics curriculum), the PLP Canvas-based Learning Management System, an online registration portal (maluti.coltech.co.za) with a Learner Profiler placement system, and a digital study guide library accessible through online.tvetcolleges.co.za. Qualifications are accredited by Umalusi and multiple Sector Education and Training Authorities (MERSETA, CETA).

Revenue is generated through a combination of student tuition fees (operated on a cashless system with non-refundable registration fees) and DHET TVET Bursary funds administered through NSFAS for students with combined household income not exceeding R350,000 per annum. The college reports 384 partnerships signed in 2025 (against a 270 target), 669,100+ website page visits, and recent awards including the 2023 Golden Arrow Award (Empowerdex) and the 2024 PMR Africa Award. International engagement includes a British Council-funded partnership with Canterbury College (UK) and a 2025 collaboration with UNISA.
