The Free State CET College is committed to ensure that Free State out of school youth and adults are provided with education and training opportunities through its 15 Community Learning Centers and 171 Satellites Centres. The College Management and Staff are highly committed in ensuring that we achieve the following objectives:

• Expanded access to CET opportunities.
• Improved success and efficiency in CET programmes and qualification
• Improved quality of provision in CET Colleges
• Improved responsiveness of the CET College system
• Improved business operations within the College

The afore-mentioned will be achieved through the legislative and policy framework such as the White Paper for Post School Education and Training, 2014; the Continuing Education and Training Act 16 of 2006, the National Qualification Framework Act of 2008; the General and Further Education and Training Act of 2008 and the Public Finance Management Act and other legislative frameworks applicable to CET.

The College will focus amongst others on expanding the occupational qualifications offerings to other centres, improving success, and increasing access to many adults and out of school youth in the Free State Province. The Free State CET College has been adversely affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. The main challenge of COVID-19 is, of course, one of health, and our priority continues to be ensuring the safety of our staff and students despite limited resources.

We acknowledge the hardship that this pandemic has caused to our centre managers, lecturers, staff and students. We are deeply grateful for their generosity, which is enabling us to offer support to those who need it.
