Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for SETA Learnerships

I know many graduates and gap-year students struggle to find real SETA learnership opportunities. These structured programmes combine training, workplace experience, and a monthly stipend while you work towards a recognised qualification. Learnerships aren’t listed in one place. Some are advertised by SETAs, others by companies, training providers or TVET colleges. To avoid fake links and wasted time, first identify the SETA linked to your field (for example, MICT SETA for ICT, CETA for construction, TETA for transport). Check if the learnership accepts direct applications. Many opportunities are only open to employers or training providers. Always review the requirements—some need matric, others don’t. Gather your ID, CV, matric certificate, proof of residence and clear supporting documents before the closing date. Stipends vary by programme and are meant as support, not salary. Never pay anyone for a learnership application. Real listings will show programme name, requirements, deadline, location and application process. Use official SETA or accredited training provider channels to apply.
