Learnships and Skill Programmess

WHAT IS A LEARNERSHIP?

A learnership is a learning route towards achieving a nationally recognised qualification. It is a structured learning experience which is a combination of theoretical and workplace learning and is directed towards the achievement of a South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) registered qualification.

The implementation of a learnership is based on a contract signed by the learner, the employer and training provider and is administered by a SETA. Learners in a learnership programme attend classes with regard the theoretical part of the learnership and gain practical experience while placed in the workplace. The duration of learnership programmes varies between 1-3 years, depending on the programme.

A Learnership qualification consists of the following components:

   Fundamentals: Basic educational requirements in a leadership – usually life skills, numeracy and literacy or communication skills.

  Core: The core skills and knowledge required for a particular qualification

  Electives: Specialised areas or the application of the core skills and knowledge in defined work situations
