Who can apply

• Finance

• Commerce
• A related field
• Basic accounting and financial knowledge
• Microsoft Office proficiency, especially Excel
• Strong numerical skills
• Analytical ability
• No previous experience is required. Show what you can do through genuine coursework, assignments or other relevant activities, rather than inventing a work history.
• The questionnaire includes a Matric option and a broad certificate/diploma option. Those choices do not replace the higher qualification requirement in the listing.

Full details

You can meet the Kia Finance Internship 2026 academic rule with a relevant National Diploma or equivalent NQF Level 6 qualification, without previous experience. Its title names three provinces, while the location field says Johannesburg. Check placement details before the 30 October 2026 deadline.

Kia South Africa’s 12-month programme offers finance graduates practical exposure to automotive retail. The learning covers accounting records, cash, reporting, controls and the financial side of vehicle stock.

What are the key details you need before starting?

Which qualification and skills must you have?

A relevant diploma is an expressly listed entry route. The academic requirement is a degree, National Diploma or equivalent NQF Level 6 qualification in:

You also need the following practical foundation:

No previous experience is required. Show what you can do through genuine coursework, assignments or other relevant activities, rather than inventing a work history.

The questionnaire includes a Matric option and a broad certificate/diploma option. Those choices do not replace the higher qualification requirement in the listing.

State your qualification’s full name, institution and level clearly. A related subject does not automatically make a lower-level certificate equivalent to NQF Level 6.

How should you interpret the three provinces and Johannesburg location?

The role title uses GP, WC and KZN, referring to Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The separate location field names Johannesburg, Gauteng.

No branch-by-branch placement list is provided. The form does not show a dedicated province-preference question in its finance questionnaire.

Enter your actual residential details and check the specific workplace when Motus contacts you. Do not assume that a post in your nearest dealership is guaranteed.

Transport, accommodation, working hours and relocation support are not specified. Consider your likely travel arrangements before accepting a placement.

What finance work will you learn in an automotive business?

The programme covers six learning areas:

• Financial administration
• Financial reporting and expense management
• Debtors, creditors and cash management
• Financial controls, compliance and risk
• Vehicle stock control and asset management
• Dealership and importer finance systems and reporting

Debtors concern money owed to the business; creditors concern amounts the business owes. Learning both helps you understand how transaction records connect to cash management.

Vehicle stock gives this internship an automotive focus. You will gain exposure to the financial records and controls associated with a dealership and/or importer operation.

A useful CV example could describe checking totals in an assignment, organising transaction data or using Excel to prepare a report. Explain your actual task and the checks you performed.

What documents and cover-letter information should you prepare?

The listing does not set out a fixed attachment checklist. To support your qualification and the form’s education fields, prepare readable copies of:

• Your updated CV
• Relevant identity documentation
• Finance qualification certificate or award record
• Academic transcript, if available
• Other evidence requested for your circumstances

Put your CV in CV Upload and supporting files in Additional Documents. The document menu includes ID, Passport, Transcript and Other.

Use the matching category for each file, with Other available where no specific qualification-certificate category is offered. Save each supporting attachment.

The menu also offers driver’s licence and screening-document categories. Their presence does not make every menu item a compulsory attachment. A driver’s licence is not expressly listed as an entry requirement.

No certification-age rule or CV file-size limit is stated in the listing. Follow any format and size validation the upload control displays.

If you include a profile photo, the portal’s upload guidance specifies PNG, JPG or JPEG, smaller than 2 MB and at least 360 × 360 pixels.

The form includes a Cover Letter field. Prepare a short note connecting your qualification, actual Excel ability and interest in dealership finance to this programme.

For example, explain a genuine finance assignment you completed and why you want to learn about cash, reporting or vehicle-stock controls. Use your own experience and wording.

How should you prepare for the five screening questions?

All five questionnaire prompts are marked as required. Prepare your education and computer-skill selections, plus your own explanations of the role and financial accuracy.

For the role question, connect your answer to the published learning areas. You could discuss transaction records, reporting, cash, payment tracking or vehicle-stock information.

For the accuracy question, explain a practical consequence. An incorrect entry can affect a report, a payment decision or a balance that someone else relies on.

The error question offers reporting and correcting, ignoring, asking a colleague, or leaving the issue for someone else. A responsible response is prompt reporting and correction through the authorised process.

Choose your education and computer-skill answers honestly. The options describe your current background; they are not a reason to overstate your award or Excel competence.

How do you complete the Motus submission from start to finish?

1. Open the official Kia Finance Internship submission form.
2. Match the full programme title, GP, WC and KZN wording and 30 October 2026 closing date.
3. Complete Personal Details: name, email, phone, demographic selections, nationality, work eligibility and residential location.
4. Enter the ID, passport or work-permit information shown for your circumstances. Check all fields marked as required.
5. Upload your CV, add relevant supporting files separately, and include a profile photo if you choose to provide one.
6. Complete your Experience Summary, actual Work History and Education records. Save each record you add.
7. Complete the Cover Letter field with your own relevant background and motivation.
8. Answer all five questionnaire items, including the two written responses.
9. Read the terms, Privacy Statement and POPIA Manual available through the portal. If you agree, complete the terms acceptance required by the form.
10. Review your details and files, correct any validation messages and use the final submission button. Keep any confirmation and your submission date.

Use the role-specific form, rather than relying on the website’s general CV-registration route. Motus states that registering a CV or receiving an acknowledgement does not establish a successful outcome.

Finish before 30 October 2026. The listing does not give an alternative email submission address or a published closing time.

What should you know about screening, consent and feedback?

Motus’s terms allow personal data to be used for recruitment and, where relevant, employment. Screening and interview agencies working for Motus may receive information for those services, subject to confidentiality.

The portal’s acceptance wording includes retaining your details in Motus’s talent pool. Read the linked privacy documents before deciding whether to accept the terms.

Motus also describes Financial Intelligence Centre-related screening where appropriate and relevant to a role. The listing does not instruct candidates to obtain a screening report in advance.

Keep your CV current if your details change. An acknowledgement or talent-pool registration is not an employment offer.

If you receive no response within three weeks of submitting, Motus says to regard your submission as unsuccessful. This period runs from your submission date, rather than the closing date.

What other questions might you have about the Kia internship?

Can Matric alone meet the entry requirement?

No. Although Matric appears in the questionnaire, the listing requires a relevant degree, National Diploma or equivalent NQF Level 6 qualification.

Does any NQF Level 6 qualification qualify?

The field matters too. The qualification must be in Finance, Accounting, Financial Management, Commerce or a related area; an unrelated award is not automatically suitable.

Do I need previous dealership or finance employment?

No previous experience is required. You still need the relevant qualification, accounting knowledge, Microsoft Office ability and numerical and analytical skills.

Is a driver’s licence compulsory?

It is not expressly included in the entry requirements. A driver’s licence document category on the portal does not, by itself, create a licence requirement.

How much is the internship stipend?

No salary or stipend amount is published. Confirm remuneration and other placement terms if you receive an offer; do not assume another Motus programme’s amount carries over.

Actionable Next Steps

Match your qualification first, then prepare your Excel examples and written questionnaire responses. Complete the official form before 30 October 2026 and keep the date for the three-week feedback window.
