Does CTC offer accommodation to students and how much does it cost?

Yes, CTC offers student residence with single rooms and shared bathroom facilities to learners that serve three meals per day.

What is the duration of your courses at CTC?

A full Engineering Qualification can be obtained within a minimum of 3 years, however only about a 3rd of this time is spend at CTC where knowledge as well as practical components are covered and assessed. The remaining period is spent at a Workplace Approved site to complete workplace experience tasks, these must be completed successfully prior to a learner returning to CTC for final assessment.

Mining and mineral processing training is somewhat shorter and is delivered over a period of 6 – 18 months.
Additional specialised short courses and skills programmes can be anything between 2- days to 10 weeks.

Does CTC provide assistance in finding employment?

We can refer learners that have started to study privately at CTC to employers, but we cannot assure successful employment.

Learners can be registered on the MQA Portal, which is a platform that stores information of learners seeking employment. Employers can also access the portal and not only find possible candidates, but also be able to post vacancies that may exist in their organisations.

What are the requirements to apply for training at CTC?

To start an occupational qualification engineering or mining, one requires a minimum of grade 11, but to exit a trade qualification one requires at least a N2 with four trade related subjects.

Can I study part-time at CTC or are all courses full time?

The majority of the courses presented at CTC, can only be completed through full-time attendance. Keep in mind that this will be covered over different phases of Provider training as well as allocated time to be spent at the employer (workplace approved site) to complete all workplace experience modules.

CTC however does offer some training on an on-line version.
