What Are Training Excellence Learnerships?

Training Excellence describes its learnerships as programmes that combine classroom-based education with practical workplace learning. The programmes can support unemployed learners and employees seeking additional skills.

The organisation states that successful learners can work towards qualifications registered on the National Qualifications Framework.

The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) oversees the National Qualifications Framework and maintains information about registered qualifications. (SAQA)

Therefore, applicants can use the SAQA qualifications database to check registered qualification information. (SAQA)

Training Excellence Learnership Structure

A key feature of these programmes is workplace-based learning.

Training Excellence states that its typical learnership structure consists of approximately 30% theory and 70% workplace learning.

This structure allows learners to combine classroom knowledge with practical workplace activities.

However, the structure and requirements can differ between programmes. Applicants should therefore confirm the details with Training Excellence before applying.

How to Verify an NQF Qualification

Instead, check the qualification through the official SAQA Registered Qualifications database where appropriate. SAQA provides searchable information about qualifications and unit standards registered on the NQF. (SAQA)

This additional verification step can help applicants confirm qualification information before making important decisions.

Information Technology Learnerships

Training Excellence lists technology-related programmes covering end-user computing, systems support, systems development, telecommunications and technical support.

How Are Learners Assessed?

Assessment forms an important part of the Training Excellence learning process.

The organisation states that assessments focus on skills, knowledge and behaviour. Methods can include knowledge assessments, practical application, observation and reflective learning.

Training Excellence also states that competent learners can have their achievements submitted to the relevant SETA.

If a learner is found not yet competent, the organisation says an action plan can identify additional learning requirements and reassessment arrangements.
