Learners will receive training in soft skills as well as experience in their learnership field, leaving their learnership with qualifications and experience to aid them in establishing a solid career.
The Pharmacy Assistant Learnership Programme was established in 2009, to date, this programme has supported over 2 849 learners at both basic and post-basic levels.

To date, we have successfully trained 481 learners, and currently have more than 64 learners’ enrolled in the business administration learnership.
