Thabang Maimela’s Tip

Don’t overlook the exact subject requirements when applying for the Sasol Maintenance and Production Learnership.

Having Grade 12 alone does not necessarily satisfy the requirements. Sasol specifically lists Technical Mathematics/Mathematics, English and Technical/Physical Science for the Grade 12 route.

For the N3 route, the listed subjects are Mathematics, English and Engineering Science.

Before starting the application, have your certificate and academic results available and check that the subjects appearing on them correspond with the requirements in the advert. This can help you avoid submitting an application for a pathway for which you don’t meet the stated academic criteria.

Documents to Prepare

The information supplied does not specify the complete application-document list. However, applicants should carefully review Sasol’s application portal for the documents requested during submission.

Do not assume additional documents are mandatory unless Sasol specifically requests them.
