axiz ithuba learnership

The one-year Axiz Ithuba Learnership programme is fully endorsed and supported by the ISETT SETA. Ithuba is a Xhosa word for “opportunity”.

The learnership involves the provision of training and workplace experience in alternating periods. The Axiz Ithuba learners receive two months of training followed by two months in the working environment on a rotational basis. In total, they spend 120 days in training and 115 days in the workplace. The learners benefit by being afforded the opportunity to learn about the corporate environment and gain experience in a real working situation.

The Axiz Ithuba learners pursue an NQF Level 5 qualification known as the National Certificate in Information Technology: Systems Support Engineering. Axiz serves as the lead employment provider, while IT Intellect serves as the lead training provider and project manager.

A learnership is a vocational education and training programme that combines theory and practice. It culminates in a qualification that is recognised nation-wide and is registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). A learner who successfully completes a learnership has a qualification that demonstrates occupational competence in their chosen field of endeavour.
