The College of Cape Town’s Beauty Therapy Department is fully accredited to offer the International Therapy Examination Council (ITEC) qualifications. ITEC has been awarding high quality and respected industry qualifications since 1947. It is now one of the world's leading and most successful awarding bodies specialising in the Beauty and Complementary Therapies.

As a leading provider of Education and Training in mainly the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) band, the College of Cape Town has much to offer students and prospective partners as an alternative to General Education and Training.  

The economic disruption and lockdown restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have delivered devastating blows to South Africa’s already ailing economy. Millions of jobs have already been lost and bankruptcies and closures of businesses continue unabated despite government interventions.

False Bay TVET College students seem to have a knack for electing inspirational leaders. Public Management student and current Vice-President of the Student Representative Council, Darren Maybe, became the latest in a long line of student leaders to be recognised when he was awarded the annual MOT Are Hovstad Award at the MOT Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2021.

At a time of almost unprecedented stress and fear, False Bay TVET College’s Fish Hoek Campus held a timely Youth Day pledge event on 14 June 2021 to pay tribute to students who lost their lives and those who are sufferings from illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 across the country.

Imagination. Perseverance. Innovation. Focus on opportunity. Ambition. Relentlessly determined to succeed. These are attributes that not only describe an ideal entrepreneur but are the words that come to mind when people meet 35-year-old Brian Carolissen, False Bay TVET College NC(V) Engineering and Related Design graduate (2012) and founder of Weld Lab, an innovative manufacturing business that is growing despite the impact of COVID-19 on the economy.

False Bay College offers a gateway to employment, entrepreneurship and higher education.

False Bay TVET College has five well-resourced campuses in the Cape Peninsula that collectively have an annual enrolment of around 11 000 students. While not the largest college, False Bay has consistently been recognised as one of the best TVET colleges in South Africa for over 15 years.

There’s no denying that COVID-19 has rocked the economy. Companies that were around since before we were born have closed, the national airline has been grounded, and the transport industry was literally brought to a standstill when workers were told to stay at home. The global economy has slowed, reducing exports, forcing prices lower and drying up demand. Sales in many industries are lower as people try to save more and spend less.
