The aim of this study was to assess trends in access and success at the Gert Sibande TVET College during the sample period 2010-2020. Secondary data on headcount enrolments and completions used in the study was obtained from the college’s management information system. Total enrolments grew by an average annual growth of 8.4%, and mainly consisted of Black Africans and female students during the period under review. The total gross enrolment ratio generally increased, while the gross enrolment ratio for females predominantly remained higher than the gross enrolment ratio for males. Certification rates in the Report 191 N3 programme demonstrated good progress regarding student success during 2016-2018. Despite the decline in 2017, certification rates in Report 191 N6 business studies recorded good performance over the period under review, while certification rates in Report 191 N6 engineering studies programme was considerably poor. Certification rates in NC(V) level 4 programme waned during 2012-2016, despite recoveries during 2017-2019. In general, student success at the College was quite volatile, suggesting the need to implement measures for improvement.
