Who We Are
DRUA-A FET College is a private Further Education and Training institution established in 2008 with its main campus in Kimberley and additional branches in Upington, Prieska, and a fourth campus under development in De Aar. Over the past 16 years, we have effectively addressed the evolving education and skills development needs of the Northern Cape and broader South Africa through innovative, blended, and technology-enhanced learning.
Recognizing the systemic challenges many learners face in gaining workplace experience, we actively work to reduce administrative and logistical barriers that hinder career progression. We specialize in skills development training and business support services, with a strong focus on empowering black youth and people living with disabilities.

DRUA-A FET is led by Mr. Dirk Andrews—a qualified Education, Training and Development Practitioner with over 25 years of experience in the skills development sector. His vision drives our commitment to quality, accessibility, and transformative learning.
