These courses are offered in an environment that fosters and enhances high work ethics and high standards of workmanship. Gwamile VOCTIM prides itself in the quality of its graduates and in what they are capable of doing. Thus our graduates are worth more than the certificates and diplomas they are awarded. Our training environment is of high standard, and we value our workshops and equipment; and do our best in using these optimally and responsibly. We likewise do our best to ensure their maintenance-even within the constraints that we sometimes have to face.

Our craftsmen are not only skilled, but are a resource that is capable to maintain production levels, and to work their way up the ladder without losing touch of their craftsmanship.
Our message to prospective students is that those intending to follow a course in engineering, need to work hard in English, Maths and Science, among others; and that those intending to follow Commercial Studies should have done Book Keeping or Accounting in addition to English
