Three learnership opportunities are available

Although all three programmes share the same basic education and unemployment requirements, they provide different workplace exposure.

Applicants should choose the stream and training location that best match their interests and circumstances.

Short-Term Insurance

The Short-Term Insurance Learnership is based in Centurion.

Learners will receive practical experience in telesales and/or customer service within a call-centre environment.

This route may suit applicants who are comfortable communicating with customers and who want exposure to insurance sales and client service.

Long-Term Insurance

Two Long-Term Insurance Learnerships are available, with one based in Centurion and another in Secunda.

These programmes provide practical exposure to sales and/or administration within long-term insurance.

Learners will therefore build experience around life insurance, customer interactions, financial risk, administration and regulatory responsibilities.

Who qualifies for the iMas Insurance learnerships?

Candidates must meet the following minimum requirements:

• Have completed Grade 12
• Have Mathematics and/or Accounting
• Be currently unemployed
• Not currently be registered for other studies
• Not be participating in another learnership
• Not be completing an internship
• Not be participating in a Youth Employment Service programme
• Be available to start immediately

The opportunities are aimed at unemployed individuals from previously disadvantaged and designated groups who want to establish themselves in the insurance industry.

Preference is given to candidates from designated groups and candidates with disabilities.

No specific age limit has been stated.

What skills is iMas Insurance Brokers looking for?

Applicants should be able to demonstrate more than academic eligibility.

The company is looking for candidates with:

• Strong verbal communication
• Strong written communication
• Attention to detail
• Customer-service orientation
• Self-motivation
• Integrity
• Good time management
• Ability to work under pressure
• Selling ability
• Negotiation skills
• Commitment to quality work

These skills are particularly relevant because the programmes involve customer interaction, insurance sales and administration.

Do not make your curriculum vitae look empty just because you have never worked in insurance. Experience from retail, school leadership, volunteering, customer service or informal selling can demonstrate communication, reliability and people skills. Focus on genuine transferable experience rather than trying to sound like an experienced insurance professional.

What will learners gain during the programme?

The learnerships combine structured theoretical learning with practical workplace experience.

Participants will receive on-the-job coaching and mentoring while completing the 12-month programme.

Learning exposure can include:

• Basic research
• Literacy and numeracy in an insurance environment
• Insurance risk assessment
• Personal financial risk
• Insurance legislation
• Ethical responsibilities
• Regulatory compliance

The practical component depends on the selected insurance stream.

Short-term learners can gain experience in telesales and customer service, while long-term learners can gain experience in sales and administration.

Successful completion provides an opportunity to attain an Insurance qualification at NQF Level 4.

How much does the iMas Insurance learnership pay?

The programmes offer a monthly allowance of R6,000 during the 12-month fixed-term contract.

This is the confirmed amount for the current learnership intake.

Applicants should still budget carefully for costs such as travelling to the workplace because a separate transport allowance has not been specified.

Which insurance stream should you choose?

The right option depends on the type of experience you want to gain.

Short-Term Insurance may be a stronger fit if you are interested in telesales, customer service and a call-centre environment.

Long-Term Insurance may suit applicants interested in life insurance, administration, sales and broader financial-services exposure.

Location is equally important.

Choose a programme you can realistically attend for the full 12-month period, rather than selecting a location simply because an application is available.

What should you prepare before applying?

A detailed compulsory document list has not been specified in the programme information.

However, your curriculum vitae should clearly show:

• Grade 12 completion
• Mathematics and/or Accounting
• Current contact details
• Education history
• Customer-service experience, if applicable
• Sales experience, if applicable
• Administration experience, if applicable
• Other relevant workplace or volunteer experience

Make sure your cellphone number and email address are current.

Your application should also accurately reflect your current study and employment status because these form part of the eligibility criteria.

How to submit your application

There are three separate applications, so use the portal for the programme you actually want to pursue.

Short-Term Insurance

Candidates interested in the short-term insurance programme can submit their details through the official online application portal for the Short-Term Insurance Learnership.

Training location: Centurion, Gauteng

Long-Term Insurance - Centurion

Candidates who want long-term insurance training in Centurion can use the official online application portal for the Long-Term Insurance Learnership.

Training location: Centurion, Gauteng

Long-Term Insurance - Secunda

Candidates who can attend the programme in Secunda can submit through the official online application portal for the Long-Term Insurance Learnership.

All three opportunities close on 7 October 2026.

Applicants must also be available to start immediately.

What has not been specified?

Some details should not be assumed.

Age limit: No specific minimum or maximum age requirement has been stated.

Transport allowance: A separate transport allowance has not been specified.

Permanent employment: The programmes run on 12-month fixed-term contracts. Permanent employment after completing the learnership should not be assumed.

Applicants should use only the conditions confirmed for the current intake rather than requirements or benefits from previous iMas Insurance programmes.

Why this programme could be useful for Matriculants

Insurance can provide entry routes into several areas of financial services, including customer service, sales, administration, claims, compliance and other business functions.

For applicants without substantial professional experience, a structured learnership provides an opportunity to combine formal learning with real workplace exposure.

The R6,000 monthly allowance also provides financial support while learners build practical experience and work towards an NQF Level 4 qualification.

The strongest candidates will still need to show that they can communicate clearly, work with customers, manage their time and learn in a professional environment.

Final Thoughts

The iMas Insurance Brokers Learnerships 2026 offer unemployed Matriculants a 12-month pathway into the insurance industry with a R6,000 monthly allowance.

Candidates can choose between short-term insurance or long-term insurance opportunities, with programmes available in Centurion and Secunda.

To qualify, applicants need Grade 12 with Mathematics and/or Accounting, must currently be unemployed and cannot be registered for another study or workplace-development programme.

Applications close on 7 October 2026, so eligible candidates should choose the most suitable stream, prepare their curriculum vitae and complete the correct application before the deadline.
