Northlink college learnership programme is composed of:
- Training at a college (± 30%)
- Practical experience in the workplace (± 70%)
- Both learnerships and skills programmes are meant for people who are already employed as well as people who want to enter the workplace.
- Learnerships are composed of SAQA unit standards, which have a total number of credits depending on the qualification level reflected on the NQF. Unit standards are components or building blocks of NQF qualifications. Each unit standard is formulated in such a way that it can also be used as a skills programme.
