How long does it take to become a qualified artisan?

Artisan qualifications are achieved through the new system ​which is called the Occupational Certificate. This entails a 3 ​year process. The first year is spent in full time studies at ​Traincorp campus in Meyerton. During this year, the student ​masters the theory of the qualification or trade and also ​completes the practical modules of the course. This if ​followed by a two year work place phase during which the ​student is working in the industry and has a logbook to ​complete. At the end of the work place phase, in other ​words the end of year three, the student returns to Traincorp ​to be put through the Final External Summative ​Assessment (FESA). In the trades, this entails a Trade Test.

How old must a student be to enroll as a Traincorp ​student?

The Skills Programs have no minimum school grade or ​subject entry requirements, but students must be able to ​read and write on a functional level.

Can I study part time or through evening classes or ​online?

The trade qualifications all have theory or knowledge ​modules as well as practical work sessions and tasks. These ​can not be done on a computer or part time basis. Students ​must follow the program: full time studies, then workplace ​experience. Trade skills cannot be taught online and the ​practical modules are time consuming and intense training ​sessions.

The ECD course is presented on a part-time basis over 18 ​months, and it has contact sessions which the students ​must attend at college. These contact sessions consists of a ​number of Saturday lectures and one to three day contact ​sessions during the school holidays, except the December ​school holidays.

Where do the students find jobs for the two-year ​apprenticeship phase?

Under the Occupational Certificate method of training, the ​requirements for the employers who wish to employ ​students have been revised. Employers no longer have to ​register or accredit with the SETA’s or government ​departments as training providers. The workplace training is ​done under the Traincorp FET College banner and there are ​only three main requirements namely:

1. The company has to be CIPC registered with a valid tax ​number.

2. The company employing a student, must have a trade ​test qualified artisan employed under who’s supervision the ​student will work.

3. The employer must enter into contract of collaboration ​with Traincorp FET College.

This means that students find work in many businesses and ​even micro businesses do employ the students. Traincorp ​does not accept responsibility for the employment of ​students but the college assist and refer students to ​employers.
