FOLLOW THE WHATSAPP CHANNEL FOR RECENT UPDATES

Training Force (Pty) Ltd is a Johannesburg-based training provider established in 2003 that specialises in delivering accredited training and skills programmes across a wide range of industries in South Africa. It operates nationwide and has branches in major cities, partnering with businesses to help develop a more skilled and employable workforce. The company delivers learnerships, short courses, apprenticeships, full qualifications, and upskilling programmes aligned with industry needs and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

As a Level 1 B-BBEE accredited training provider, Training Force also helps businesses improve their B-BBEE scorecards through structured skills development initiatives, making their programmes valuable both for individuals and employers looking to meet transformation requirements.

What Is a Learnership?

A learnership is a structured learning programme combining theoretical classroom training with practical workplace experience. Typically lasting 12 months, these programmes are registered on the NQF with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and lead to a recognised occupational qualification once successfully completed.

This model allows learners to earn while they learn — receiving a monthly stipend while gaining valuable industry skills and real-world workplace exposure.

Training Force Learnership Programmes for 2026

Programme Structure

The 2026 learnerships follow the standard model:

• Duration: 12 months (full-time)

• Components: Classroom learning + practical workplace experience

• Outcome: A nationally recognised NQF qualification

• Support: Monthly stipend, mentorship, and professional guidance

Learners attend training sessions delivered by accredited facilitators and work with host employers where they apply skills in real job tasks. Mentors guide learners throughout the year, helping them transition from learners to capable professionals.

Who Can Apply?

The 2026 Training Force learnerships are open to South African youth who meet these general criteria:

• Age: 18 – 28 years

• Citizenship: South African

• Education: Minimum Grade 10 (Matric or equivalent is often preferred)

• Employment Status: Unemployed and not currently in another learnership or internship

Learners with disabilities are encouraged to apply, as the programmes promote inclusive opportunities for all.

Applications are typically submitted via the official Training Force website’s learnership portal — direct emails to staff or general email addresses are usually not accepted.

What You Gain from a Training Force Learnership

1. Accredited Qualification

Learners obtain an NQF-registered qualification recognised across industries in South Africa, strengthening employability and opening doors to further studies or career paths.

2. Practical Workplace Experience

Placement with a host employer gives learners hands-on experience that many entry-level job seekers lack, which can be a significant advantage when applying for jobs later.

3. Monthly Stipend

A living allowance helps learners focus on training and development without the strain of unpaid programs.

4. Professional Growth

Learnerships build both technical skills and essential workplace behaviours — such as teamwork, communication, and accountability — that employers value.

5. Post-Learnership Pathways

Many learners find employment with host companies after completion, while others use their experience and qualification to secure roles elsewhere or pursue further education.
