What Are The Requirements Of A Trade Test?

Here Are The Entrance Requirements Of A Trade Test

N2 Certificate including the four relevant subjects of Maths, engineering science and a fourth subject as required by the trade; or
Technical trade theory programs quality assured by a SETA deemed to be equivalent to NQF level 3; or
Relevant Engineering NCV Certificate with seven subjects at NQF level 3; or
Technical Grade 11 with Maths, Science, Language and related trade theory subject; or
Relevant (directly related to the trade theory subjects) N6 certificate or National Technical Diploma (T, S or N stream.)

In addition to the above mentioned minimum level of educational qualification, the applicant must also have:

successfully completed all of the job practical training unit standards (in the case of learnerships) or modules (in the case of an apprenticeship) of an artisan learning program at an accredited training provider as verifiable by training records.
