What the programme is
The training runs for ten consecutive days and focuses on the fundamentals of 4IR and digital workplaces. It is run by Tshwane South TVET College with support from INSETA. The programme is not a full diploma or occupational qualification; it is a short, intensive skills‑development intervention.
Who can apply
Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

- Grade‑12 pass, or
- NC(V) Level 4 in Information Technology, or

What you will gain
The ten‑day course introduces you to:
