Vital College has opened applications for its General Security Practices Learnership for 2026. This paid program offers unemployed young people a chance to gain skills in the security field. With a monthly stipend starting at R2500 and a recognized qualification, it provides a solid entry into private security jobs.
What Is the Vital College General Security Practices Learnership?
This learnership comes from Vital College in partnership with Enpower Training Services. It targets General Security Practices at NQF Level 3. The program lasts 12 months and mixes classroom learning with hands-on practice.
Learners build knowledge of security basics and workplace skills. By the end, they earn a qualification that employers value. This setup helps those new to the industry get ready for real jobs.
Why This Learnership Stands Out
The monthly stipend from R2500 supports learners during training. It reduces money worries so they can focus on studies. Security jobs are in demand, and this program meets that need with certification.
Many young people seek roles that offer training and pay. This learnership fits perfectly for entry-level workers without experience. It turns interest in security into practical ability.

Career Benefits of This Opportunity
Completing the learnership adds a strong qualification to your CV. You gain skills that match what security employers expect. This helps you stand out in job searches.
