Documents you will need

What should you know about assessments and medical fitness?
The recruitment information refers to selection assessments and medical fitness requirements. It does not explain the assessment format or provide a detailed preparation syllabus.

For preparation, practise explaining why you want the relevant stream and give genuine examples of following instructions, communicating clearly and working with others. These examples support your application without pretending to predict a particular test.
What does non-artisan mean for your career choice?
The Mining Qualifications Authority describes non-artisan learnerships as occupational learning that leads towards an NQF-registered qualification and is not trade related. That explains why the programme should be considered separately from an artisan trade pathway.
The exact qualification and NQF level for this Msobo intake are not supplied. Ask for the qualification title, training duration, provider and assessment arrangements when the employer explains the programme.
If you are comparing occupational training with a trade route, read our Sasol Artisan Learnerships 2026 guide. Check that programme’s own subjects, entry conditions and deadline.
