Specify the learnership reference number which you are applying for (e.g. KwaZulu Natal Region: Durban (Ref E22/2022). Ensure that the application form is fully completed and signed by the applicant (not by a proxy, agent or representative of the applicant). Use the correct reference number for the management area to which you are applying in the applicable block on the application form.
