What you gain from the learnership
End User Computing is one of the most useful entry-level ICT qualifications in South Africa. It teaches you how to use computers in a real workplace. That can help you apply for many junior jobs later.
During the programme, you may learn how to:
- Use Microsoft Office tools well
- Manage digital documents
- Do data capturing tasks
- Support basic IT users
- Use workplace communication systems
- Follow basic cybersecurity practices
- Work with internet-based productivity tools
These skills can support applications for jobs such as:
- Administration Clerk
- Receptionist
- Data Capturer
- Office Assistant
- Call Centre Agent
- Junior IT Support Assistant
- Front Office Administrator
You also get an accredited qualification, workplace-ready digital skills, structured training, monthly stipend support, and better CV value. The stipend is modest, but the qualification can help you much more in the long run.

Applications must be submitted by hand delivery only. No email applications are accepted.
Follow these steps:
- Prepare all your documents before you leave home.
- Make sure your copies are certified and still valid.

Tips to improve your chances
Learnerships like this are competitive. In my experience, many strong candidates miss out because their paperwork is not neat, or they submit late. You can avoid that.
Try these simple steps:
- Apply as early as possible
- Check that your certified copies are not older than 3 months
- Use a clear and neat CV format
- Add any computer exposure you have, even if it was basic
- Dress neatly when you submit your documents
- Ask politely for confirmation of submission
- Apply to other ICT learnerships at the same time
If you live in Tembisa or Kempton Park, recently finished Grade 12, and are still unemployed, this is a good opportunity to take seriously.
