Tips to improve your chances
- Write a short “Preferred Learnership” line near the top of your CV, e.g. “Information Technology – Technical Support”. It helps recruiters match you quickly.
- Match the qualification level to your current education. Do not apply for a NQF 5 programme if you only have a Grade 10 certificate.
- Highlight skills that the specific field values: organisation for administration, troubleshooting for IT, hygiene awareness for cleaning, customer service for retail, etc.
- Ensure you have reliable internet and a quiet space if you choose virtual learning.
- Proofread your CV – spelling mistakes can hurt your credibility.
- Be honest about your location and work status. Incorrect information may lead to disqualification later.
