Potential areas of practical exposure include:

- Relevant certificates showing the completed qualification or subjects.
- A willingness to undertake the apprenticeship in Polokwane.
The advert specifically states that SOR is not accepted.
Important Qualification Note
The wording in the advert refers to “NCV Level 4–7 Subjects”, but it does not provide a detailed list of the exact subjects required for each trade.

Youthscope cannot add specific subject requirements that are not stated in the available information.

The exact duties and training activities assigned to successful candidates are not fully specified in the supplied advert.
