Yes, that's correct. A learnership is a work-based learning programme that leads to a qualification that is registered in the National Qualifications Framework. Learnerships are directly related to an occupation or field of work, for example, bookkeeping or office administration. The aims of learnerships are to address the challenges of decreasing employment, unequal access to education and training, and employment opportunities. Learnerships are designed to provide learners with the skills and knowledge required to perform a specific job. They are often offered in industries that have a skills shortage. During the learnership, learners will be required to complete assignments, tasks and practical tests and projects. They will be formally assessed in the classroom and workplace. If all the assignments are completed successfully, they will be awarded an NQF-registered qualification, which is recognized nationally. Practical training is an essential part of a degree from a university of applied sciences. For the student, practical training is goal-oriented and diverse work that develops competence in relation to the professional field and working life.
