The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) has released an official academic calendar for TVET colleges.
The calendar outlines the start and end dates for semesters, terms, and holidays.
TVET Colleges Academic Calendar
The official DHET academic calendar for TVET colleges in South Africa is not a single, unified document. There are two main types of calendars, depending on the specific program and institution:
Semester-Based Calendar: This is the most common type, with two semesters per year separated by short breaks and a longer summer recess. Most programs follow this structure.
Trimester-Based Calendar: This type divides the year into three, equal terms with shorter breaks in between. It’s less common but used by some programs, particularly those with intensive practical components.
