You will help run learning administration, organise weekly skills tests, coach consultants and link training results to customer‑service performance.
Who can apply (requirements and eligibility)

- Holder of a Further Education and Training Certificate in Education, Training and Development. A Grade 12 certificate alone does not qualify.
- Willingness to work on‑site at the Absa Call Centre Auckland Park.
- Posting date: 10 July 2026.
- Application deadline: 25 July 2026.
- Reference number: R‑15989088.

Successful candidates will develop:
- Practical experience in learning and development administration.
- Skills in assessing and coaching call‑centre consultants.
- Understanding of key performance indicators such as first‑contact resolution, productivity targets and service‑level agreements.
- Exposure to a corporate call‑centre environment, which is valuable for future roles in banking, customer service or training.

Tips to improve your chances
- Place the FE&T Certificate in Education, Training and Development at the top of your CV.
- Follow it with one concrete example of coaching, assessment coordination or learning administration – include who you helped, what you did and the outcome.
- If you have led a small team, mentored peers, or tutored, describe the situation with measurable results.
- Use clear, action‑oriented language (e.g., “Co‑ordinated weekly skills‑audit tests for a team of 15 consultants, raising first‑contact resolution by 8 %”).
- Proof‑read your contact details; a dead phone number or email will stop the process.
- Be ready to discuss how learning activities translate into better customer service during the interview.
- Remember that the stipend, programme length and number of places have not been disclosed – focus on fitting the stated requirements.
