The Stallion Security learnership is open for applications right now, but the window closes on 29 May 2026. If you are an unemployed young man aged 18 to 26 with your security paperwork already sorted, this is your chance to enter the private security industry through paid, structured workplace training in Johannesburg.
What is this opportunity?
Stallion Security has partnered with Stallion Integrated to offer 200 fixed-term learnership positions. This is a short-term training programme designed to give you hands-on experience in the security sector. You will work at the Stallion Learning Centre in Bertrams, Johannesburg, next to Spar Bertrams.
This is not a permanent job. It is a stepping stone. The programme helps you move from having classroom certificates to understanding how security operations work in real life.
Who can apply?
You must meet every requirement below to qualify. The employer will not consider incomplete applications.
- You must be male and between 18 and 26 years old
- You must be unemployed and have a valid South African ID
- You must have passed Grade 12 (Matric)
- You must hold valid PSIRA grading
- You must have a valid Grade C security certification
If you do not have these documents yet, or if they have expired, you cannot apply for this specific intake. The company is looking for candidates who are ready to start immediately.
What will you gain?
Many young people fear they will never find work in security without knowing someone on the inside. This learnership offers a fair entry point based on your documents, not your connections.
During the programme, you will work in a professional security environment. You will practise the skills you learned during your Grade C training, and you will understand how private security companies operate daily. This experience makes your CV stronger when you apply for permanent security jobs later.
Where and when?
The learnership runs in Johannesburg, Gauteng. An earlier notice mentioned reporting dates of 26 and 27 May 2026 at 07:30, but you must check the official portal for the most current instructions. Dates and reporting times sometimes change once the employer starts processing applications.
The final deadline to submit your application is 29 May 2026. Do not wait until the last day. The system may slow down if too many people try to apply at once.
How to apply step by step
You must use the official online portal. Do not send documents via email or WhatsApp.
- Visit the official SA Youth application portal
- Create your profile or log in if you already have one
- Search for the Stallion Security learnership
- Upload clear copies of your ID, Grade 12 certificate, PSIRA card, and Grade C certificate
- Check that your name and ID number match exactly across all documents
- Submit your application and save the confirmation reference number
Tips to improve your chances
Competition is high for these 200 positions. Here is how to stand out for the right reasons.
Verify your PSIRA status online before you apply. If your registration or Grade C certificate expires before May 2026, renew it immediately. Employers reject candidates with expired documents.
Make sure your cellphone number and email address are active. If the company tries to contact you for an interview and your phone is off, you may lose the spot.
Apply in the morning when the internet is stable. Take screenshots of every step. If the website crashes, you have proof that you tried to apply on time.
Your next step
The security industry rewards people who are organised and punctual. Show these qualities now by preparing your documents today and submitting your application well before 29 May 2026.
Check your papers. Log onto the portal. Submit a complete, accurate application. This learnership could be the bridge between your current unemployment and a stable career in security, but only if you take action before the deadline.
