Our Programmes

Ngwane Teacher's College offers two teacher training programmes; Primary Teachers’ Diploma and Diploma in Early Childhood Care & Education.

The Primary Teachers’ Diploma is a three year programme that prepares trainees to teach all subjects taught at primary school level, i.e. Grade 1 to 7. Hence, trainees are taught subject content for all subjects taught at primary school level. During their second and third year of their study, they are given six weeks of supervised teaching practice in primary schools around the country.  

The goal of the Diploma in Early Childhood Care & Education is to prepare students to work with children from zero through age 8. Students learn about curriculum, guidance and standards for working with young children. This program helps prepare students for a rewarding career nurturing the growth and development of young children. During their second and third year of their study, they are given six weeks of supervised teaching practice in early childhood care schools around the country.
