Free State
Farming, mining and the judicial capital
The Free State's economy rests on agriculture, gold mining around Welkom, petrochemicals in Sasolburg, and government and education in Bloemfontein, which is also the judicial capital of South Africa. Across these sectors, records, payroll, compliance and reporting have moved onto computers.
Towns in the eastern Free State such as Bethlehem, Harrismith and Ficksburg are served by tourism and agriculture, and many learners there have never had formal computer training. Our online programme starts at the right level for each person and builds step by step from basics to practical workplace skills.
