Learnership

Accredited Learnership Programmes

An accredited learnership programme is a valuable opportunity for individuals to build upon their existing skills and experience, filling gaps and advancing their careers. Our programme is also beneficial for businesses seeking to supplement their workforce and address key skill shortages within their team.

A learnership is a comprehensive and structured learning experience, with theoretical and practical components, and lasts for a minimum of 12 months. Upon completion, participants receive an occupationally related qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

An accredited learnership programme enables both individuals and businesses to gain the essential skills necessary for increased productivity, profitability, and overall job satisfaction. Our programmes provide a comprehensive learning experience that results in a recognised qualification, allowing participants to take the necessary steps to advance their careers.

Learnership: A Path To Skill Development And Career Advancement

A learnership is a comprehensive and structured learning programme that combines classroom and workplace-based training, resulting in a nationally recognised vocational qualification. This approach to learning and development is an effective way for companies to recruit, upskill, and retain their workforce. The benefits of offering learnerships to employees or new job market entrants are numerous, including:

• Improved Skills and Service Levels
• Reduced Training and Recruitment Costs
• Lower Salary Costs whilst maintaining Quality
• Attractive Tax Incentives
• Strengthened Black Economic Empowerment Credentials
• Increased Staff Retention and Motivation
• Contribution to Job Creation and Industry Professionalization

Employed staff can undertake learnerships to enhance their skills without having to leave their place of work. For new entrants to the job market, learnerships provide the opportunity to acquire valuable skills and gain crucial work experience, which can often be a barrier to securing employment.
