In 2006, Elangeni FET College, now Elangeni TVET College, embarked on the strategic decision to implement the ISO 9001 Quality Management System standard. Coupled with this decision, was to implement the OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management standard.
Then in 2008 the college made history by becoming the first FET College in the country to achieve dual certification by the South African Bureau of Standards in ISO 9001:2008 and OHSAS 18001:2007. The purpose of these certifications was to ensure that the college pursued world class standards in the provisioning of education and training for its students. These management systems also ensured that the college provided a compliance system for its operations. This further ensured successful internal and external audit outcomes for the college.
The ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 systems underwent the process of review and renewal. Then in 2018, the college achieved the ISO 9001:2018 certification status. This was followed in 2020 with the achievement of ISO 45001:2018, the revised Health and Safety Management standard certification.
In 2023, the college underwent a re-certification process for these standards.
