About KZN Coastal TVET College

Coastal KZN TVET College (often called Coastal College) is a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa that provides practical, career-focused education and skills training. It was formed through the merger of several former technical colleges — including Durban Technical College, Swinton Road Technical College and Umlazi Technical College — plus the Umbumbulu and Appelsbosch Colleges of Education. Today it’s one of the largest TVET colleges in the province, serving thousands of students across multiple campuses.
