What are SETA learnerships? A learnership is a structured learning programme that combines theoretical learning and practical workplace experience. If completed successfully, learnerships lead to a qualification registered on the NQF.

What are the benefits for learners?

• You may have better employment opportunities after completing a learnership;
• You have a fixed-term employment contract for the duration of the learnership;
• Learnerships improve on the job performance so you are able to do things relevant to the job;

The main role of the SETAs is to construct a framework in which all South Africans, employed or unemployed, can develop their existing skills, learn new skills, acquire qualifications, and contribute meaningfully to the country’s economy.

Improved access to and opportunities for employment or income-generation

• Opportunities to acquire fixed-term employment contracts for the duration of the learnership;
• opportunities for gainful employment, either with an employer, through self-employment or in temporary employment;

Will you be paid anything during the learnership? All unemployed people selected for a learnership programme will be paid a learner allowance by the employer. The allowance is not a salary, but is intended to cover the cost of expenses like travel and meals you will have to pay for because you are in the learnership.

The answer is yes, some businesses offer learnerships to people who do not have their matric qualification. The academic requirements for learnerships vary with different institutions. While some do prefer you to have matric, others don’t.

Learnerships are available for young people who have completed school, college or learning at other training institutions. You must be older than 16 and younger than 35 to be eligible for a learnership.

Candidates must meet the following requirements to apply:

1. You must be South African citizens.
2. Applicants must hold a valid Matric.
3. All applicants must have a valid ID document.
4. Applicants must hold a degree or certifications within field applying for (where applicable)
5. All applicants must not have any criminal record.

The simple answer to this is no, you can’t. Unless you have an equivalent qualification that meets the entry requirement for the course you want to study. We highly recommend that you first do a matric rewrite, or take an alternative course that helps you to meet the requirements to gain access to your university.

Short answer: no. Longer answer: nursing is based on science. You need to understand biology, and know human anatomy and physiology. You have to be able to do math and know algebra.

Those who applied for NSFAS TVET College funding have to meet the following criteria: Must be a South African citizen. Must not be enrolling for a qualification that duplicates previous learning that was state-funded.
