Explain What is an FET certificate?

The Further Education and Training (FET) certificate is an NQF level 2-4 qualification that offers both a traditional academic curriculum, leading to a National Senior Certificate (NSC), and a range of vocational modules.

This qualification focuses on occupational, vocational, or skills-based learning, providing students with the knowledge and practical skills needed for specific tasks in the workplace.

It is a lower-level qualification compared to a National Certificate or Diploma and is typically pursued after Grade 9.

In South Africa, FET Certificates are recognized by employers and industry bodies and can be required for certain professions or career paths.

They also serve as evidence of practical skills and knowledge and can provide a pathway to further studies, such as progressing to a National Certificate or Diploma.
