At a glance

What this opportunity is

The Motus Aftermarket Parts NQF4 Learnership is a structured 12-month programme designed to help young applicants gain workplace experience in the automotive aftermarket environment. The programme includes practical exposure and on-the-job learning within a professional automotive organisation.

Available learning areas include administration, warehouse, and operations. These departments support the movement, organisation, and service delivery side of an automotive parts business, making this opportunity suitable for applicants who want to understand how automotive parts distribution and operational support work in practice.

Note: This is a fixed-term learnership opportunity. The official vacancy does not state that permanent employment is guaranteed after completion.

Who this opportunity may suit

This learnership may suit young applicants who have completed Matric and want to gain workplace exposure before applying for more advanced jobs in administration, warehousing, stock control, branch operations, logistics support, or automotive-related customer service environments.

• Applicants who are comfortable following instructions and workplace procedures.
• Young people who want structured workplace experience in the automotive industry.
• Applicants who can commit to a full 12-month programme.
• People who are interested in administration, warehouse, or operations work.
• Applicants who live near the placement area or are willing to relocate to the region of placement.

What you’ll do / learn

Successful learners can expect exposure to practical workplace tasks and industry-relevant learning within Motus Aftermarket Parts. Depending on the department, the work may involve administrative support, warehouse-related duties, stock movement support, general operations assistance, and learning how automotive parts environments are managed.

• Gain hands-on workplace experience in an automotive organisation.
• Develop practical skills linked to administration, warehouse, and operations departments.
• Receive exposure to industry-relevant workplace knowledge.
• Learn from experienced staff through on-the-job training and mentorship.
• Build workplace habits such as punctuality, teamwork, communication, and meeting deadlines.
• Receive a monthly stipend in line with SETA programme guidelines.

Eligibility requirements

Applicants should check that they meet the requirements before applying. The official vacancy lists the following requirements:

• Must be between 18 and 29 years old.
• Must have Grade 12 / Matric.
• Must not have previously participated in any SETA-funded programme.
• Must not currently be funded by NSFAS.

Key attributes required

• Strong work ethic and reliability.

• Ability to follow instructions and workplace standards.

What this role really means

An automotive aftermarket learnership is not the same as training to become a mechanic. In this type of environment, learners may be exposed to the business side of vehicle parts, including how stock is handled, how branches or warehouses support customers, how administration keeps operations organised, and how teams work together to move parts through the supply chain.

For your CV, focus on reliability, punctuality, computer literacy, communication, customer service exposure, school subjects linked to business or administration, and any part-time work or volunteering that shows you can follow instructions and work in a structured environment.
