Colleges for early childhood (ECD)
TVET colleges do not offer the school-teaching BEd, but some offer early childhood (ECD) courses, like the Higher Certificate in Early Childhood Care and Education. These train you to teach young children, and can lead to a BEd in Foundation Phase. Find a TVET college on our list, and check it offers an ECD course. To teach older grades, you study the BEd at a university, or a PGCE if you already have a degree.
