TVET stands for ‘technical and vocational education and training’ and is only applicable to public colleges in South Africa. TVET colleges offer the same qualifications than Oxbridge Academy does.

Distance education means that you complete your studies from home, without attending physical classes. It can take different forms – you can study a distance learning course via correspondence, where you receive physical study material via post or courier; or you can study online, where all of your course material is available electronically. Online courses are therefore a specific type of distance learning.
