Advice for TVET College Applicants
These opportunities may be particularly relevant to TVET College students and graduates who have completed N2 or N3 engineering-related studies.
However, applicants should not apply based solely on having an N2 certificate.
Your N2 subjects must match the trade you are applying for.
For example, someone applying for the Electrician Learnership should verify that their academic record includes Industrial Electronics and Electrical Trade Theory.
Similarly, a Fitter applicant should check for Engineering Drawing and Fitter Trade Theory.
Why These Learnerships Are Important
Technical trades such as fitting, electrical work, diesel mechanics and boilermaking are important skills in mining, mineral processing, manufacturing, engineering and other industrial environments.
For candidates who have completed theoretical engineering studies, workplace-based training can provide valuable practical exposure and help develop the skills required in technical occupations.
Applicants should keep copies of their academic records, certificates and any training documentation received during the programme.
