Studying at a college
Do TVET colleges teach social work? No. TVET colleges do not have the four-year social work degree. The college route is the one-year Higher Certificate in Social Auxiliary Work. Many colleges offer it, and you can also study it by distance. It lets you work as a social auxiliary worker, and it can lead to the degree later.
Do you run a private college that offers the Higher Certificate in Social Auxiliary Work? List it on NavyBlue.
