LearnEx is a South African training group. Its learnership applications for 2026 are closed: LearnEx Corporate Training says it has met its 2026 quota and applications reopen on 11 January 2027 for the 2027 academic year. When the window is open, the online application form asks for your name, 13-digit South African ID number, contact details, highest qualification, employment status and a short motivation.
LearnEx does not publish a fixed qualification-based entry requirement for each programme on its public pages. This page explains what the application asks for, what LearnEx offers, and how to check a private provider before you commit.
Entry Requirements at a Glance
- Learnership applications: closed for the rest of 2026; they reopen on 11 January 2027
- Application form: name, 13-digit ID number, contact details, highest qualification (from below matric to postgraduate), learnership history, employment status and a motivation of up to 1,000 characters
- Streams on the form: ICT, Office Administration, Project and Supply Chain, and Supervisory and Management
- Minimum qualification or age: not stated on the application page, so ask LearnEx before you apply
LearnEx Gratia, the group’s private college, describes itself as registered with the Department of Higher Education (DHET No. 2010/FE07/100) and offers Business Management, Accounting, Bookkeeping, IT programmes and other workplace skills courses for working and full-time students. See the LearnEx Gratia page.
Academic and Minimum Admission Requirements
LearnEx’s application form accepts applicants across the qualification range, from below matric to postgraduate, and does not state a minimum school-leaving mark. A learnership is work-based learning that combines structured work experience with theory; ask LearnEx what applies to the stream you choose.
For college-level and ICB programmes, LearnEx’s entry requirements are in its programme material, so request the current prospectus or confirm them with LearnEx before you pay anything.
Subjects, APS and Qualification Requirements
LearnEx does not publish an APS for its learnerships. Its learnership programmes page describes a full 12-month learnership as 30% theory (about three months in the classroom) and 70% practical workplace experience. Examples listed include an ICT Stream (Technical Support) qualification at NQF level 4 and Business Administration at NQF levels 3 and 4, each over 12 months, with a recognition of prior learning (RPL) option on the business administration programme.
Check the qualification ID and NQF level of the programme you are applying for, and confirm them on the SAQA register.
Documents and Application Requirements
You apply online. LearnEx says it only checks supporting documents if you are invited to an interview, where you may be asked to present original or certified documents. Have these ready:
- your South African ID (the form asks for the 13-digit number)
- proof of your highest qualification
- any other documents LearnEx asks for when it invites you to an interview
LearnEx does not state a fee on the application page, so confirm with LearnEx directly whether any cost applies before you pay anything.
Selection, Intake and Eligibility Considerations
The 2026 window has closed, so the next opportunity is 11 January 2027 for the 2027 academic year. Apply as soon as it reopens, because LearnEx closed its 2026 window once its quota was met.
Before you apply to or pay any private provider, check its registration. Private higher education institutions are listed on the DHET register of private higher education institutions (update of 12 August 2026), which anyone may inspect. A text search of that register did not find LearnEx, and LearnEx Gratia describes itself as a private college, which is a different category, so ask LearnEx for its registration and accreditation details for the specific qualification.
