Remote Learnerships

Remote Learnerships Database (July – December 2026) – Finding a job or gaining a tertiary qualification in South Africa often comes with heavy financial hurdles. Daily taxi fares, professional work attire, and expensive transport logistics prevent thousands of talented young South Africans from starting their careers.

To bridge this gap, SETA-accredited providers and corporate platforms now fund fully remote and blended learnerships. Every registered learnership combines theoretical learning with mandatory practical work experience.

In remote programmes, your practical workplace tasks such as data entry, virtual assistance, and digital customer support, are completed online using your phone or computer, allowing you to earn a monthly stipend and gain real work experience right from home.

How Does Practical Experience Work Remotely?

Because SAQA and SETA regulations require practical workplace exposure, remote learnerships structure on-the-job training through virtual workplace systems:

  • Virtual Tasks & Ticketing: Learners perform real customer support, digital administration, or data entry work monitored through cloud-based software.
  • Online Supervisor Mentorship: Regular check-ins via Zoom, MS Teams, or WhatsApp with assigned industry mentors who review practical assignments and workplace logbooks.
  • Simulated Work Projects: Completing real-world corporate case studies, coding sprints, or digital marketing campaigns to meet NQF practical requirements.
Minimum Entry Requirements
  • Education: Passed Grade 10, Grade 11, or Grade 12 (Matric).
  • Age: Open to unemployed youth (ages 18-35).
  • Tools: Access to a functional smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
  • Stipend Range: R2,500 – R5,500 per month (varies by NQF level and provider).
