It’s Never Too Late To Continue Learning
Adult Education Training Programme
Creating Hope Africa is exploring the need for an Adult Education Training Programme in Velddrif, in partnership with Western Cape Community Education and Training College. This programme aims to help local adults continue their education journey, improve literacy and numeracy, complete foundational learning, and access accredited learning pathways.

Please note this is an interest form only. It helps us understand community need before classes, times and programmes are confirmed.
A second chance to learn, grow and move forward
Many adults in our community did not have the opportunity to complete their school careers. Others may want to improve their reading, writing, numeracy, confidence or practical skills so they can access better opportunities in life, work and further study. Creating Hope Africa is currently working with Western Cape Community Education and Training College to explore the possibility of establishing a satellite learning campus in Velddrif.
The goal is simple: to make adult education more accessible to local residents who want to continue learning, complete foundational education, or prepare for future skills development. Western Cape CET College currently offers Adult Education and Training pathways, including AET Sub-Levels 1–3, GETC-ABET Level 4 at NQF Level 1, vocational skills training programmes and Adult Matric through the Amended Senior Certificate route.
This may be for you if…
You are invited to complete the interest form if you are an adult living in Velddrif or surrounding areas and you:
-

Possible learning areas
The final programme offering will depend on community interest, eligibility, available facilitators, official programme requirements and confirmation from Western Cape CET College. Possible Adult Education and Training learning areas may include:
Reading, writing, language, communication and numeracy.
AET Level 1 focuses on learning to read, write and calculate. AET Level 2 develops reading, writing and numeracy skills. AET Level 3 helps learners improve these skills and prepare for possible admission into AET Level 4.
AET Level 4 can lead to the General Education and Training Certificate at NQF Level 1. Western Cape CET College describes this as a foundational qualification for adults, equivalent to Grade 9, with learning areas including language, mathematical literacy, life orientation and selected electives.
At GETC-ABET Level 4, accredited learning areas listed by Western Cape CET College include Economic and Management Sciences, Human and Social Sciences, Technology, Natural Sciences, Arts and Culture, Travel and Tourism, Information Communication Technology, Early Childhood Development, Wholesale and Retail, Ancillary Health Care, SMME and Applied Agriculture.
Western Cape CET College also offers information on the Grade 12 Amended Senior Certificate, which is designed for adult learners. The college states that this route is generally for adults aged 21 and older, with some exceptional cases for out-of-school youth aged 18–20 who meet certain criteria.
What happens after you complete the form?
Once you submit your interest form, Creating Hope Africa will use the information to assess community demand and understand what type of learning support may be needed in Velddrif and surrounding areas. Completing the form does not guarantee placement in a programme. It simply helps us plan responsibly and communicate with interested residents when more information becomes available. If the programme moves forward, applicants may need to complete official registration steps, provide required documentation, and meet the relevant entry requirements set by Western Cape CET College.
