About the Edge Training Learnerships
The Edge Training Learnership Programmes are designed to combine theoretical learning with workplace-based experience.
Rather than focusing solely on classroom instruction, a learnership allows participants to apply knowledge within a workplace environment. This can help learners become familiar with workplace processes, professional expectations and practical activities relevant to their chosen field
The programmes can cover several occupational areas, but the available fields depend on the specific intake and employer requirements.
The advertised stipend ranges from R4,500 to R7,500 per month. This is not a single guaranteed amount for every learner; the applicable stipend depends on the particular learnership and its conditions.
