TVET colleges in Zambia focus on providing practical skills and knowledge in various fields like agriculture, engineering, business studies, and health, to name a few. These institutions play a pivotal role in strengthening Zambia’s economy by equipping students with relevant industry skills. Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges have revolutionized Zambia’s education sector by offering courses that align with the evolving labour market.

As the approach the 2025-2026 academic year gets nearer, more and more students are seeking to apply to these institutions to build their skills and enhance their employability. The basic foundation for technical educational, vocational, and entrepreneurship training (TEVET) in Zambia is the TEVET Policy (1996). It recognizes the need to adapt TVET to a changing economy that, in comparison to previous years, is becoming increasingly reliant on the informal sector.

Founded in 2005, the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) stands as the primary authority supervising the implementation of TVET programs in Zambia. Responsible for accrediting and registering TVET establishments, TEVETA also extends its support to TVET providers, devises curricula, and administers examinations.

Under the umbrella of its Training Systems Development Unit, TEVETA manages four distinct TVET delivery models within the country. This article provides a step-by-step guide to successfully navigating TVET colleges’ online application process in Zambia for the 2025-2026 academic year.
