What a learnership actually is

A learnership is a structured programme registered with a SETA under the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998. It is not a job with training attached — it is a qualification you earn by doing the work. You sign a three-party agreement between yourself, the employer and the accredited training provider, alongside a fixed-term employment contract that lasts as long as the programme does.

How learnerships work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →

Watch out for this

A legitimate learnership never charges you. If anyone asks for a registration, placement or administration fee, it is not a learnership — report it. You can confirm that a programme is registered by contacting the relevant SETA directly.
