You’ll earn a monthly stipend of R6,500 while gaining hands‑on experience in the insurance sector.
What is the Nicasia AON Insurance Learnership 2026?
It’s a partnership between Nicasia Holdings and global insurance giant AON South Africa. Over 12 months you’ll split your time evenly between classroom learning and on‑the‑job training. The programme delivers a National Certificate in Insurance and practical experience that can open doors to many roles in financial services.

During the first six months you’ll study core insurance concepts – policies, risk, regulations – and earn a recognised qualification.
