Vocational Training & Short Courses

Build Skills. Build Your Future.

PTA offers 28 practical vocational short courses open to everyone — no matric required. Learn in your language, earn a certificate, and turn your skills into a business.

How We Deliver

Our Three-Module Approach

Every vocational programme at PTA is structured around three integrated modules — ensuring you leave with a skill, a business mindset, and the confidence to use both.

Practical Skills Module

Core hands-on training (Plumbing, Refrigeration, Computer Repair & more). Delivered in-person, focused entirely on "learning by doing."

Business & Entrepreneurship Module

Mandatory for every student. You will learn how to start and manage your own venture so you can create opportunities, not just look for them.

Local Language Instruction

Most vocational courses in Namibia are taught in English — some even require it as an entry condition. We see this as a barrier to education. While our courses are also taught in English, students who do not speak or understand English can choose to be taught in their local language instead. Language will never be the reason you cannot learn a skill at PTA.

Certificate on Completion

Earn a recognised certificate when you successfully complete your course. No matric or prior qualifications required to enrol.
