Learnerships

A structured programme that combines classroom theory with supervised workplace experience and leads to a recognised qualification.

A learnership is a work-based learning programme. Learners spend part of their time in structured classroom instruction with an accredited training provider, and the remainder in a healthcare workplace applying that theory under supervision.

The programme is governed by a signed learnership agreement between the learner, the employer and the training provider. Learners are assessed throughout the programme and receive a recognised qualification on successful completion.

Learnerships suit school leavers, unemployed youth and people already working in support roles who want a formal qualification and a route into the healthcare sector.
