How to Apply for SETA Programmes

A practical application process for learnerships, internships, WIL, bursaries, apprenticeships and other SETA-related opportunities.

1

Find a current opportunity

Use the SETA platform to understand available pathways, then locate a current official advertisement from the SETA, employer, institution or approved project partner.

2

Check eligibility

Compare your education, field of study, employment status, location and experience with the advertised criteria. General programme information is not a substitute for the specific advert.

3

Prepare documents

Common documents include an ID copy, CV, certificates, academic record, proof of address and institution letters. WIL candidates may need confirmation that workplace experience is required to complete the qualification.

4

Submit and keep proof

Use the stated application channel, complete every required field and save confirmation emails, reference numbers or screenshots. Avoid sending documents to unofficial contacts.
