R99Call centres in Umhlanga, Cape Town and Joburg hire thousands of people with no experience — but they test hard and reject most applicants. This course trains you on exactly what they test: typing speed, phone voice, workplace email, customer scenarios and the screening assessments themselves. Finish it and you can walk into a CCI, WNS or Concentrix assessment ready.
R99Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, SPAR, Boxer and Usave hire thousands of cashiers with no experience — but they test basic maths, honesty and customer manner, and they fire fast for till mistakes. This course trains the actual job: opening your float, scanning, giving correct change, spotting fake notes, handling cards and SnapScan, surviving month-end queues, and protecting yourself from the mistakes and temptations that end cashier careers. Finish it and you can walk into a store assessment — and your first shift — ready.
R99Almost every entry-level job in South Africa now expects you to use a computer, send email, and apply online — admin, retail, call centres and government posts all test it. This course teaches the real skills, on a real screen: finding your way around a computer, saving and attaching files, typing a document, writing email that gets a reply, staying safe from scams, and applying for jobs online from a phone or an internet café. No fancy words, no theory — just what an employer actually checks. Everything here can be practised on a shared machine, a library PC or a cheap smartphone.
R99Building sites across South Africa take on general workers with no experience — but the foreman keeps the ones who arrive on time, work safe, and can be trusted with a task. This course trains exactly that: how the site works and what it pays, the safety rules that keep you alive and employed, following instructions and measuring right, mixing concrete and mortar to the ratio, the tools and how to assist the artisan, and how to become the worker they ask back for the next job. Every lesson is practical. Finish it and you can walk onto a site ready to work, not just watch.
R99Food and parcel delivery is one of the fastest ways to start earning in South Africa — Mr D, Uber Eats, Bolt Food and courier networks like PostNet take on drivers every week. But the ones who last know the job before they start: how the pay really works after fuel, how to navigate and scan and get proof of delivery, how to handle the customer at the door for good ratings, and how to stay safe on SA roads. This course makes you ready. IMPORTANT: it is not a driving licence — you must already hold a valid South African driver's licence (and a PrDP where the vehicle or platform requires one) to drive for pay.
R99Every shop, restaurant, hotel, call desk and service counter in South Africa lives or dies on one thing: how customers are treated. Employers hire — and promote — people who make customers feel looked after, and let go of the ones who don't. This course teaches the actual skill: greeting and reading a customer, listening, handling complaints and angry people without losing your cool, phone and WhatsApp service, upselling honestly, the Consumer Protection Act basics you must know at the counter, and how to protect yourself when a situation is beyond your limits. No experience needed. Finish it and you can walk into a service job — and your first shift — ready.
R79Cleaning work in South Africa is real, skilled work — and the law is finally on your side. From 1 March 2026 a domestic worker earns the same minimum wage as any other worker. This course teaches you two things at once: exactly what rights you have (minimum wage, a written contract, UIF, leave, safe hours) so nobody can cheat you, AND how to clean like a professional — room by room, chemicals that can kill you if mixed, laundry and ironing, and how to win trust and keep good clients for years. Every lesson is practical. Nothing here costs money — just practice.
R79Gardens and yards across South Africa need work every week — households, complexes, offices and estates all pay for it. This course trains you in the real skills: plants and soil, lawns and pruning, water-wise gardening under SA water rules, safe tool and chemical use, AND how to know your pay and rights or run your own garden service. Finish it and you can work for a household, join a landscaping company, or start earning on your own.
R79Every petrol station in South Africa needs attendants, and they hire people with no experience — but they only keep the honest, safe, quick ones. This course trains you on exactly that: forecourt safety that stops fires, the difference between petrol and diesel (getting it wrong costs a customer their engine), handling cash and fleet cards without a single short, and the friendly service that earns tips on top of your wage. Finish it and you can walk onto any forecourt ready to work your first shift.
R149Security is one of the biggest employers in South Africa — but by law you cannot work as a security officer until you are registered and trained with PSIRA (the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority). IMPORTANT: this is an introduction and readiness course only. It is NOT PSIRA training, it is NOT a PSIRA grade certificate, and it does NOT register you with PSIRA or qualify you to work armed or unarmed. What it does: it explains the PSIRA pathway (grades E–A, what it costs, where to train), and it builds the practical basics employers look for — observation, patrolling, access control, occurrence-book reporting, radio and phonetic communication, conflict de-escalation, your legal limits, and emergency basics — so you walk into your PSIRA training and your first interview already ahead.
R99Restaurants across South Africa hire waiters every week, often with no experience — but the good money is in tips, and tips come from skill. This course trains you on exactly what makes a great waiter: how the money and tips really work, food hygiene and the R638 safety rules, taking orders on a POS, carrying and serving, upselling, handling complaints, and cash-and-card handling. Finish it and you can walk into a restaurant trial shift ready to earn.
R99Warehouses and factories in Gauteng, KZN and the Cape hire thousands of general workers, pickers and packers every year — often with no experience needed. But they hire people who are safe, accurate and reliable, and they let go of people who aren't. This course trains you on exactly that: workplace safety and the OHS Act, safe lifting, receiving and picking and packing, barcode scanners and stock accuracy, staying safe around machines and forklifts, and being the kind of worker they keep and promote. Every lesson is practical and built for the South African floor.
