The Western Cape Mobility Department is currently recruiting traffic students for the completion of a Further Education and Training (FET) Certificate in Road Traffic Law Enforcement at the Gene Louw Traffic College in Brackenfell. The deadline for applications is 28 August and the twelve-month training course will commence in January 2024.
Young people are encouraged to apply for this opportunity to learn from, and potentially join the ranks of, Provincial Traffic Services. The Gene Louw Traffic College was officially opened on 15 September 1989. Since then, it has become a centre of excellence training traffic officers, municipal police officers, examiners of vehicles and examiners of driving licences.
Should vacant and funded provincial inspector posts be open after obtaining the FET Certificate, individuals may be offered permanent employment at one of the provincial traffic centres (located in Beaufort West, Caledon, George, Knysna, Laingsburg, Metro/Cape Town, Mossel Bay, Oudtshoorn, Swellendam, Vredenburg, Vredendal and Worcester). Permanent employment is, however, not guaranteed.
The college is formally accredited by the Road Traffic Management Corporation, Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority and the South African Police Service, and it meets all applicable requirements of the South African Qualifications Authority.
Minimum entry requirements include a Grade 12 Senior Certificate pass of 50% in Maths / Maths Literacy, English and an additional language; a valid motor vehicle licence (manual) code B; no criminal record and applicants must be under 35 years old as per national requirements.
The application process is free and only applications via the official Western Cape Government website are legitimate.
You will be informed of the result by the WC Provincial Traffic Services between 7 and 13 August 2023.
