What You’ll Learn

- Hands‑on work – you’ll spend most of the week in real logistics settings, watching and helping with everyday tasks.
- Hours – Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. – some overtime may happen, just like in real jobs.
- Final test – at the end of the year you’ll take the EISA exam. Pass and you get a nationally recognised certificate.
Stipend Details
The monthly stipend helps you pay for transport and the time you spend in training. It isn’t a salary, but it removes a big financial hurdle for students who don’t have a job yet.
Who Can Join?
- Age: 21–29 years old.
- Citizenship: South African only.
- Job status: Must be unemployed when you apply.
Meeting these conditions doesn’t guarantee a spot, but if you’re missing any, you won’t be considered.
Must‑Have Documents
- Updated CV.
- Certified copy of your South African ID.
- Certified copy of your Matric certificate.
- Certified copies of any other qualifications.
All copies need to be clear and official. Incomplete paperwork is a common reason for rejection.
How We Choose Candidates
If you qualify, you’ll go through a fair selection process that may involve:
- A face‑to‑face interview with a panel at your region’s training centre.
- A quick literacy and math test to see if you’re ready for Level 5 learning.
- A criminal background check, because the company needs to meet safety rules.
Only those who pass all steps will be offered a place.
Apply Now
Send your application by email to the address for your chosen region.

Application deadline: 16 January 2026.

Good preparation can turn a “no” into a “yes”.
