Yes, mainly as trade training. Northlink TVET College in Cape Town offers electrical apprenticeships, the Occupational Certificate: Electrician and solar PV programmes. It no longer lists an NC(V) electrical programme in Northlink’s January 2026 programme brochure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northlink’s older pages for electrical N4 to N6 are still online, but those programmes are not in its 2026 brochure. N-courses are being phased out nationally.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Where to study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Belhar Campus on Proton Street is Northlink’s centre for construction, electrical and plumbing training. Wingfield Campus in Goodwood hosts mechanical and electronic courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DHET 2026 list shows the Electrician occupational certificate without NSFAS allowances, so ask Northlink what funding covers. Apprentices are usually linked to an employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
