Zevoli Training Academy has officially opened its 2026 recruitment for an NQF Level 3 Security Learnership. This program is specifically designed to bridge the gap between basic certification and professional employability. By blending classroom theory with on-site workplace exposure, the learnership equips candidates with the “hard skills” of the trade—such as patrolling and safety procedures—alongside the “soft skills” of professional workplace conduct. With a focus on specific Gauteng hubs like Midrand, Thembisa, and Alexandra, this intake is a high-value opportunity for disciplined youth aged 23 to 27.

🚀 Student Desk Expert Insight: Why PSIRA Grade C Matters
Most learnerships are for beginners, but Zevoli is looking for “Ready-to-Run” candidates:
- Professional Baseline: By requiring a PSIRA Grade C certificate up front, Zevoli ensures that every learner already understands the legal and ethical framework of the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority. This allows the learnership to focus on advanced operational skills rather than just basic rules.
- The “Experience Gap” Solution: Security firms often refuse to hire new guards without experience. This learnership solves that by providing the “Workplace Exposure” component on your CV, making you a “Experienced” candidate by the time you finish.
- Community-Centric Hiring: By targeting areas like Diepsloot and Alexandra, Zevoli is reducing the transport burden on learners. If you live in these areas, you are the priority—make sure your proof of residence is ready.
