SETA-registered learnerships combine theoretical training with workplace experience. They are open to Grade 11/12 learners, Matric school leavers, and unemployed youth — and include a monthly stipend while you train.
SETA-Registered
All learnerships are registered with a SETA (Sector Education & Training Authority) and lead to an official NQF qualification.
Earn While You Learn
Learners receive a monthly stipend from the employer while completing structured workplace learning.
NQF Certificate
Successful completion results in a nationally recognised certificate that counts towards further study or employment.
