The apprenticeship can help candidates develop practical experience in welding and metal fabrication while learning appropriate workshop practices.
Minimum Requirements
Applicants should have one of the following educational backgrounds:
- Grade 10 with Mathematics and Science
- N2
- NCV Level 3 or Level 4 in a relevant qualification
Applicants must also submit:
- A comprehensive CV
- Certified supporting documents
The wording supplied presents Grade 10 with Mathematics and Science, N2, or relevant NCV Level 3/4 as alternative educational routes rather than requiring candidates to possess all three.
Can You Apply With Grade 10?
Yes, based on the supplied requirements.
Applicants with:
Grade 10 with Mathematics and Science
are included among the eligible educational routes.
This is important because candidates shouldn’t automatically assume that Grade 12 is required for the apprenticeships.
Can You Apply With N2?
Yes.
Candidates with an N2 qualification are also included in the minimum requirements.
Applicants should include their N2 certificate and relevant results with their application.
The supplied information doesn’t specify particular N2 subjects, so additional subject requirements shouldn’t be invented.
NCV Applicants
Candidates can also qualify with:
NCV Level 3 or Level 4 in a relevant qualification.
Because the qualification needs to be relevant, applicants should ensure their NCV studies relate appropriately to the technical apprenticeship they are applying for.
Documents to Prepare
Candidates should prepare a complete application before submitting it.
The recommended documents are:
- Certified copy of South African ID
- Certified copy of highest school certificate or results
- N2 or NCV certificate, where applicable
- Academic transcript or results, if available
- Updated and comprehensive CV
- Relevant technical or trade certificates, where applicable
- Proof of residence, if requested
Candidates should ensure that scanned documents are clear and readable.
Comprehensive CV
Hlogirati specifically requires a:
Comprehensive CV.
For an apprenticeship application, candidates don’t necessarily need extensive employment history.
Where applicable, a CV can highlight:
- Education
- Mathematics and Science
- N2 or NCV studies
- Technical subjects
- Practical training
- Workshop exposure
- Technical projects
- Relevant certificates
- Practical skills
Information should remain accurate and shouldn’t be exaggerated simply to make the application appear stronger.
Certified Supporting Documents
Certified supporting documents are required.
Candidates should make sure the documents requested for their application are properly certified and that copies remain readable after scanning or uploading.
If additional documents such as proof of residence are requested during the application process, candidates should follow the instructions provided by Hlogirati.
Previous Experience
No previous employment experience requirement was included in the supplied information.
Candidates shouldn’t therefore assume that they need prior full-time experience as an electrician, fitter, plumber or welder before applying.
These are apprenticeship opportunities intended to develop trade-related practical skills.
Who Should Apply?
These opportunities may suit candidates who:
- Meet one of the stated educational routes
- Are interested in becoming skilled artisans
- Enjoy practical technical work
- Want to develop hands-on engineering skills
- Can follow technical and safety procedures
- Are willing to learn
- Have an interest in Electrical, Mechanical Fitting, Plumbing or Welding
Candidates should choose the trade that best matches their qualifications and career interests.
Thabang’s Tip
Don’t assume you need Matric to apply.
The minimum requirements specifically include Grade 10 with Mathematics and Science as one of the educational routes, alongside N2 and NCV Level 3 or Level 4 in a relevant qualification.
That makes these apprenticeships particularly worth considering for candidates who may have thought engineering apprenticeship opportunities were closed to them because they haven’t completed Grade 12.
Your documents also matter. Prepare your certified ID, school results, N2 or NCV documentation where applicable, academic results and updated CV before starting the application. If you have relevant technical or trade certificates, include them where requested.
Most importantly, apply for the trade that genuinely matches your interests and technical background. Electrical, Mechanical Fitting, Plumbing and Welding involve very different day-to-day work.
