Learnerships in South Africa: Earn While You Learn
A learnership combines structured learning with workplace experience toward an occupational or registered qualification. Search current opportunities, confirm the provider and requirements, and apply through the official destination.
The Process
How a Learnership Works
01
Find a placement
Search current learnerships and confirm that you meet the provider requirements.
02
Apply with the provider
Use the official application link and submit the requested documents.
03
Sign an agreement
Successful applicants enter an agreement with an employer and training provider.
04
Learn and work
Complete structured learning and supervised workplace experience while receiving a stipend.
05
Earn the qualification
Complete the assessments to earn the registered occupational or NQF-aligned qualification.
Learnership vs Internship: A learnership is SETA-registered and results in a nationally recognised NQF qualification. An internship is a company-specific work placement with no formal qualification. Learnerships have stronger legal protections and a clearer qualification outcome.
