About Tshwane North TVET College

Tshwane North TVET College (TNC) was established in 2002 through the merger of three former Further Education and Training colleges: Mamelodi, Pretoria, and Soshanguve FET Colleges. Situated in the Greater Tshwane Metropolis of Gauteng province, the college operates six campuses — Mamelodi, Pretoria, Rosslyn, Soshanguve North, Soshanguve South, and Temba — alongside a central administrative office in Pretoria CBD. With approximately 20,000 students and 327 lecturers, TNC offers a comprehensive range of NCV, NATED, and occupational programmes in engineering, business studies, IT, hospitality, tourism, agriculture, and the creative arts. The college has forged notable industry partnerships with organisations including Ford, Samsung, ZEST WEG, and Huawei, and hosts a Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at its Mamelodi Campus.
