Yes. I noticed that the 2026 listings show Sisekelo Institute of Business & Technology is advertising learnership opportunities for South Africans who have completed Grade 10 Grade 11 or Grade 12. Sisekelo Institute of Business & Technology also says that online options are available, across the country.
Important eligibility point
Even though the current advertisements say Grade 10 to Grade 12 the requirements can vary depending on the qualification. Some Sisekelo opportunities require Grade 12 specifically so do not assume every programme will accept Grade 10 or Grade 11.
The official website of Sisekelo lists its accredited learnership offerings and fields including Cyber Security, Software Development, Data Science, Project Management, Business Analysis and Business Administration.

Closing date: I could not find a confirmed closing date for the Grade 10–12 nationwide opportunity in the sources reviewed. Please verify the intake directly with Sisekelo before submitting your documents.
If you tell me your grade (10, 11 or 12) your age and your province I can also search for 2026 learnerships you may qualify for nationwide including information, about the stipend and application links.
what is a seta or qcto learnership?
In South Africa a SETA/QCTO learnership is a program that helps you learn a skill that is needed for a job while also getting real work experience at the same time.
What do SETA and QCTO stand for?
SETA stands for Sector Education and Training Authority. There are SETAs each one covering a different area like banking, retail, construction and technology. These SETAs are in charge of helping pay for and managing training and learnerships in their area.
QCTO stands for Quality Council for Trades and Occupations. This group is in charge of making sure that the qualifications and training programs for jobs are of good quality and meet the right standards.
How does a learnership work?
Study and get training. You learn all the knowledge and skills you need for the job.
Get work experience. You get to practice what you have learned in a workplace either with a company or through a program that has been approved.
Do assessments. You are tested on both what you know. What you can do.
Get a certificate or a qualification. If you finish the program successfully you get a certificate or a qualification that is recognized by the government.
Do you get paid?
Most of the time yes. A learnership might give you a monthly payment but it is not the same as a regular salary. How much you get depends on the program. How it is funded.
For example a program might say:
Grade 10–12 → Learnership → Training and work experience → Monthly payment → Recognized certificate
Is it the same as going to university?
No. A learnership is more about learning skills that you can use away in a job. You do not have to go to university to take part in a learnership.
If you are, in Grade 10 11 or 12 a learnership can be a way to start your career while also gaining real experience and a certificate that others will recognize.
stipend information
For the Sisekelo 2026 learnerships you asked about the advertised stipend is generally around R3,800 to R5,800 per month depending on the programme.
It is a stipend, not a salary.
The exact amount can differ by learnership or qualification and by funding arrangement.
You normally receive it while completing the required training and workplace component.
Meeting the Grade 10 to 12 requirement does not automatically guarantee a stipend; you need to be accepted into the funded learnership.
I would verify the 2026 amount, with Sisekelo before relying on the advertised figure because third-party listings can become outdated.
If you want I can check the Sisekelo 2026 advert and give you the exact stipend, requirements, closing date and application link.
