Clicks Group Pharmacy Assistant Learnership 2026: Maths Literacy Accepted

Who can apply

• Completed Grade 12.
• Mathematics: at least 50% OR Mathematical Literacy: at least 60%.
• English: at least 50%.
• A pass in Life Science (Biology)/Physics.
• Mathematical Literacy is accepted, but its threshold is higher. A general Matric pass does not replace the subject checks. Compare the actual percentages on your results statement, rather than relying on your overall pass category.
• The science requirement uses a slash between the subjects and gives no numerical pass threshold. If your subject name or result does not clearly match that wording, confirm it through the official recruitment route before assuming eligibility.
• Employment-equity considerations and the development of unemployed youth receive preference. No specific age range is stated. Only candidates meeting the minimum requirements will be contacted; meeting them does not guarantee selection.

Full details

Clicks Group’s pharmacy assistant learnership at Unicare Bellville accepts Mathematical Literacy at 60%, or Mathematics at 50%. Check the English and science requirements too, then weigh the work-back commitment before choosing this route into pharmacy.

This programme trains you towards pharmacist assistant qualifications through theory and supervised practical work in a pharmacy.

Do your Matric subjects meet the entry requirements?

Mathematical Literacy is accepted, but its threshold is higher. A general Matric pass does not replace the subject checks. Compare the actual percentages on your results statement, rather than relying on your overall pass category.

The science requirement uses a slash between the subjects and gives no numerical pass threshold. If your subject name or result does not clearly match that wording, confirm it through the official recruitment route before assuming eligibility.

Employment-equity considerations and the development of unemployed youth receive preference. No specific age range is stated. Only candidates meeting the minimum requirements will be contacted; meeting them does not guarantee selection.

What does the work-back commitment mean for your plans?

After qualifying, you must work for Unicare for at least as long as the learnership lasted. Before accepting an offer, ask for the length of each training stage, where you would work afterwards and the terms of the qualified role.

Read the written agreement carefully. Ask how the commitment is calculated, when it begins and what happens if your circumstances change. Do not assume the conditions of another Clicks or pharmacy programme are identical.

The listing does not specify the programme duration, start date, exact work address, shift pattern or a rand amount for pay. Confirm these details before making transport, study or household-budget commitments.

What will you study and do during the programme?

The learning pathway names two qualifications through the accredited Pharmacy Healthcare Academy:

• National Certificate: Pharmacy Assistance - Learner Basic Pharmacist Assistant.
• Further Education and Training Certificate: Pharmacist Assistance - Learner Post Basic Pharmacist Assistant.

It combines theory and practical learning towards NQF-registered qualifications. The role reports to the Pharmacy Manager.

Your training obligations include:

• Completing training contracts at a registered Unicare pharmacy with an approved tutor.
• Attending required training and passing competency assessments.
• Submitting a Portfolio of Evidence.
• Supporting the healthcare team under a registered pharmacist, within SAPC scope-of-practice limits.

The role title starts at Learner Basic, while the description also names Post Basic training. Ask how progression between the stages is organised. The two qualifications should not be read as a promise that you begin already qualified.

A useful personal preparation habit is to keep a dated record of training, feedback and completed work. Follow the tutor’s instructions about what belongs in your portfolio and how it should be submitted.

Which strengths should you show in your CV?

The role calls for these practical strengths:

• Customer care and meeting expectations.
• Teamwork, communication and working relationships.
• Integrity and respect for principles.
• Accuracy and attention to detail.
• Numeracy, literacy and computer literacy.
• Following instructions and procedures.
• Planning, organisation and delivering results.

Use honest examples instead of a list of unsupported claims. A school project can demonstrate organisation; retail or volunteer work can show how you helped people and followed instructions. Describe only experience you actually have.

Make your education section easy to check: school, completion year, relevant subject names and accurate marks. Keep a readable copy of your results available for any document request in the portal.

How do you complete your online submission?

1. Open the official listing from the overview table. Check the Bellville location and reference click_027314 so you continue with the correct opportunity.
2. Sign in or register through the recruitment portal. The registration form requests an email address, password, mobile number, first and last names, a CV, and citizenship/identity information. Complete the relevant fields accurately.
3. Prepare a supported CV file. The registration form accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX or TXT files, with a maximum size of 10 MB. A clear PDF is a practical option if your formatting needs to stay consistent.
4. Check your profile after uploading. The portal reads information from the CV to help build the profile. Review names, dates, contact details and education entries, and correct any extraction errors.
5. Complete the listing-specific questions and document requests. Follow the requirements shown in your account. Do not assume that creating a profile completes the submission.
6. Finish the submission before the closing date and retain any confirmation message or reference the portal provides. Check your email, including spam, for follow-up instructions.

For a new password, the registration screen specifies at least eight characters, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character. Use a password you do not share with anyone.

For registration difficulties: call 010 140 3099 or email [email protected]. This is portal support; do not treat the address as an alternative CV submission route.

What else should you check before taking the next step?

Yes. You need at least 60% in Mathematical Literacy, together with the English and science requirements listed above. The Mathematics alternative has a 50% minimum.

Previous pharmacy experience is not listed among the minimum requirements. Focus on your school results and honest examples of customer care, accuracy, teamwork and computer skills. You still need to complete the employer’s screening process.

Pay is described only as market related, and the training duration is not specified. Confirm both with the recruitment team before accepting an offer. Do not budget around an unverified stipend figure.

Yes. Successful candidates must sign a work-back agreement and work for Unicare as qualified pharmacist assistants for at least the length of the learnership period. Request the full written terms before deciding.

Treat account registration and the opportunity-specific submission as separate steps. Return to reference click_027314, complete the remaining prompts and keep any submission confirmation the portal provides.

Actionable Next Steps

Put your results statement beside your CV and check every entry requirement. If the marks match, complete your profile and the Bellville submission while there is still time to resolve upload or login problems.

Keep a short list of questions about training length, pay, work location and the work-back agreement for the recruitment team. If this route does not fit your results or plans, compare other learnership opportunities on SETA Careers and check each programme’s own criteria.
