While applicants with the required Grade 12 subjects may apply, preference will be given to candidates with a Technical Matric.

Applicants with technical subjects, automotive training or other relevant practical experience should make these qualifications clearly visible on their CV.

Thabang Maimela’s Tip

The biggest academic requirement here is Pure Mathematics and Physical Science. Don’t confuse Pure Mathematics with Mathematical Literacy the vacancy specifically asks for Pure Maths. If you have a Technical Matric, put that near the top of your CV because Motus explicitly states that those candidates will receive preference. A driver’s licence isn’t compulsory according to the advert, but include it prominently if you have one because it’s listed as an advantage.

Career Opportunities After the Apprenticeship

The programme provides a pathway towards becoming a qualified automotive artisan.

Potential career paths include:

• Motor Mechanic
• Motor Vehicle Technician
• Automotive Technician
• Service Technician
• Diagnostic Technician
• Workshop Technician

With additional experience and training, qualified technicians may progress into senior technical, diagnostic or workshop management positions.
