D.Ed. / Colleges for Further Education and Training in South Africa, previously technical colleges, are important role players as service providers for education and training regarding the new learnership system implemented by the Department of Labour. The task of these colleges, regarding the new learnership system, is to present the theoretical components of approved learnerships as part of the learnership programme to learners. This training is done in co-operation with the workplace that in turn is responsible for the practical training. The Sector Education and Training Authority must approve all learnerships before it can be referred to the Department of Labour or presented in any way. Based on the above-mentioned facts, the researcher deemed it necessary to determine if Colleges for Further Education and Training are geared for the implementation of the new learnership system. This study focuses on the necessary capacity for the presentation of the learnerships and the available facilities of the colleges. This information has been collected by means of questionnaires sent to the colleges as respondents. The researcher also sent questionnaires to technikons, universities and industries in order to obtain the information for the specific sectors. With the gathering of this information, processed by the computer department of the Department Information Management, Division: Statistical Consultation Services (Statcon) of the Rand Afrikaans University, the focus has been primarily on the Colleges for Further Education and Training, technikons and universities, by comparing the processed information.
