Open Learning Group is offering a set of 20 TETA‑accredited learnerships and short learning programmes that could jump‑start a career in transport, logistics or supply‑chain management right now.
What the opportunity is
This is the “X20” announcement – 20 places for training that is approved by the Transport Education Training Authority (TETA). The programmes cover logistics, supply‑chain management, procurement and project management. They are delivered either as full‑time online courses, blended contact‑based learnerships, or short focused learning modules.
TETA is the SETA that oversees skills development in South Africa’s transport sector, including road freight, passenger transport, rail, maritime, freight handling, forwarding, taxi and aerospace activities. Training through TETA gives you exposure to the entire supply chain that moves people and goods across the country.
Who can apply (eligibility)
The programmes are open to South Africans who want to build skills in transport, logistics, procurement or project management. Typical candidates include:
- Recent school leavers exploring a career path
- People already working in logistics or related fields
- Unemployed job‑seekers looking for skills development
- Employees who need additional training from their employer
- Anyone interested in procurement or project management
- Employers seeking up‑skilling solutions for staff
Meeting one of these descriptions does not automatically guarantee eligibility. Each programme has its own requirements, such as a minimum school qualification, relevant work experience, or a sponsor (company or funder) for learnerships.
What you will gain
Successful completion can give you:
- A recognised TETA‑accredited qualification or part‑qualification
- Practical workplace experience (learnerships only)
- Knowledge of supply‑chain processes, procurement, warehouse management and project coordination
- Better employability in the transport and logistics sector
Remember, a qualification improves your prospects but does not guarantee a job. Employment still depends on vacancies, your experience and how you present yourself to employers.

Tips to improve your chances
- Double‑check contact details. A wrong phone number or email can stop the provider from reaching you.
- Match the programme to your background. Do not pick a course just because the title sounds good; ensure you meet the education and experience requirements.
- Prepare genuine documents. False qualifications will lead to immediate rejection.
- Understand the funding model. Most learnerships need a company or other sponsor. If you are unemployed, look for programmes that allow individual funding.
- Keep your inbox active. OLG may request additional information after you apply.
- Avoid scams. Never give passwords, bank PINs or pay money to a private individual promising guaranteed placement.
