Opportunity Overview
SANEDI is offering unemployed graduates a specialised 10-day training programme focused on Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). This initiative provides NQF Level 4 training covering essential aspects of EPC data collection, building energy performance, and compliance support.
The programme aims to develop a pool of trained graduates to assist building owners and accounting officers with various activities related to building energy performance. Participants will gain practical exposure to collecting and capturing critical building energy-performance information. While the exact start date is still to be communicated, the training is scheduled to begin from 12 October 2026, positioning this as a skills-development programme in the energy efficiency and built-environment sectors.
Minimum Requirements
- Applicants must be unemployed graduates.
Key Responsibilities
Participants will be trained to:
- Support building owners and accounting officers with data collection for Energy Performance Certificates.
- Assist in the analysis of building energy performance.
- Aid in building registration processes.
- Contribute to assessment activities related to building energy performance.
- Collect and capture building energy-performance information.
What the Work Involves
During this 10-day training programme, participants will engage in structured learning and practical activities focused on energy performance data for buildings. The work will primarily involve hands-on training in gathering, analysing, and recording information crucial for Energy Performance Certificates, preparing individuals to support compliance and energy efficiency efforts. The training is delivered at participating TVET Colleges across selected provinces, offering a dedicated environment for skill development in this specialised field.

What you'll need to apply
Follow the advert exactly. Private employers differ, and sending more than was asked for does not help.
- Your CV
- Certified copy of your ID
- A short motivation letter
What this kind of post involves
A permanent post is ongoing employment with no end date, carrying full benefits and, in the public service, a defined salary level with annual notch progression. These are advertised competitively and the selection process is considerably more formal than for programme placements.
How the selection usually runs
- Applications are screened against the stated minimum requirements first, mechanically — not meeting one is fatal regardless of the rest of your application.
- Shortlisted candidates are interviewed by a panel, and for many posts a competency assessment or practical exercise follows.
- Verification of qualifications, criminal record and references happens before an offer, and it is a common point of delay.
What you leave with
Ongoing employment with benefits, and in government a position on a salary scale with a defined progression path.
Where this leads next
Notch progression within your level
Satisfactory annual performance assessment.
The next salary level up
Competing for an advertised post at that level — levels are attached to posts, not to people.
Supervisory or management post
Experience at the level below, plus the qualification the higher post specifies.
A typical route, not a guarantee — progression depends on vacancies, funding and your own performance.
Watch out for this
The screening is mechanical and happens before anyone reads your CV: the advert’s own application instructions are applied as written, and an incomplete or unsigned form is discarded whatever the rest of the application says.
