Before 1999 West Coast College consisted of several small satellites, which were then merged and officially declared as a FET College in 2002.

West Coast College was the last FET College to be formed in the Western Cape. Unlike other colleges that were formed around the hub of an existing technical college, its systems had to be established from scratch and today the college consists of five campuses. Central Office moved during 2015, in that same year the college officially changed from the name of FET college to TVET college

The Atlantis Campus was originally established in the 1980s as the Atlantis Technical Institute and in 1993 the campus became part of Protea College. The campus finally merged with West Coast College in 2002.

The Citrusdal Campus opened for the first time in January 1999 as the Citrusdal Centre for Further Education and Training. At first, it was part of the Tygerberg College and became part of West Coast FET College in 2002. The campus serves students from the Cederberg area – from Lamberts Bay and Clanwilliam to the Bergrivier-area including Porterville, Piketberg, Goedverwacht, and Piket-Bo-Berg.

The Malmesbury Campus opened its doors for the first time in January 2005 and moved to new premises during 2014, whilst the Vredenburg Campus, formerly known as the Westlake College, became part of West Coast College in August 1999. The new Vredenburg campus was officially opened in November 2012.

The Vredendal Campus was started in 1997 and in September 1998 the campus moved to bigger buildings, due to the rapid growth of students.

In the first year of NC(V) implementation in 2007, West Coast College managed to register more students than the required target of 622 and managed to implement all the required programs. West Coast College is now one of the biggest colleges in terms of the NC(V) intake.
