What Is a Learnership?
A learnership is a structured work-based learning programme that combines theoretical training with practical workplace experience, leading to a nationally recognized qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
Learnerships are designed to prepare learners for specific occupations and are regulated by South Africa’s Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs). These programmes provide participants with valuable skills, industry experience, and an opportunity to improve their employability.
A learnership typically consists of:
- 30% Theoretical Training – Classroom-based learning and skills development.
- 70% Practical Workplace Experience – Hands-on training in a real work environment.
Learners are required to attend the programme full-time and successfully complete both the theory and practical components to graduate and receive their qualification.
