What Is a Learnership?
A learnership is a structured training programme that combines classroom-based learning with practical workplace experience. Typically running for 12 months, learnerships are registered on the NQF and lead to a nationally recognised occupational qualification.
One of the main advantages of a learnership is that participants receive a monthly stipend while gaining hands-on industry experience — allowing them to earn while they learn.
