CSG Group is accepting curriculum vitae registrations from students interested in future learnership placements across administration, information technology, management, catering, cleaning, security, project management and retail. Qualifications range from National Qualifications Framework Levels 1 to 5. Registration places candidates on a database but does not guarantee selection for a programme.
This is not a single learnership intake with a fixed number of available places. CSG Group uses the registration process to build a candidate database for current and future programmes.
Students should therefore select the qualification area that matches their education, interests and career direction instead of submitting a completely generic curriculum vitae.

Why is this different from a normal learnership advert?
A normal advert usually provides a programme title, start date, location, stipend, eligibility rules and closing date.
The CSG Group page works differently. Students submit their curriculum vitae for consideration when suitable learnership placements become available.
CSG may retain candidates’ personal information for:
- Current learnership opportunities
- Future learnership opportunities
- Matching candidates with suitable programmes
- Learnership placement processes
- Access by relevant third parties for placement purposes
Submitting a curriculum vitae means the candidate consents to this use of personal information.

Individual qualification titles and levels for these additional areas are not listed on the learnership registration page.
Candidates interested in those fields can still indicate their preferred area when submitting their information.
How can the learnerships be delivered?
CSG Group uses several learning formats.
Virtual classes
Many learnerships can be facilitated through Microsoft Teams. This may allow learners to participate from different parts of South Africa.
Virtual learning still requires reliable attendance, suitable internet access and the ability to complete online activities.
Face-to-face classes
CSG Group also conducts classroom-based sessions.
The location will depend on the programme, client and learner group.
Online learning
Learnership content can be delivered through the CSG electronic learning platform.
Candidates should not assume that every qualification is available through every delivery method. The format will depend on the specific programme.
Who can register for consideration?
The page does not publish one universal set of requirements for all 27 qualifications.
It does not state a general:
- Age limit
- Minimum school qualification
- Employment-status requirement
- Disability requirement
- Province restriction
- Stipend amount
- Programme duration
Eligibility will depend on the selected qualification, its National Qualifications Framework level, the client funding the programme and the available placement.
Candidates should provide accurate education, location and employment information so that CSG can consider them for suitable programmes.
What should a curriculum vitae include?
A curriculum vitae should make the candidate’s preferred training direction clear.
Include:
- Full name and contact details
- Residential area and province
- Highest completed qualification
- School subjects
- Additional certificates
- Employment status
- Previous learnership participation
- Relevant practical experience
- Computer skills
- Preferred learnership field
- Availability for virtual or classroom learning
Candidates should tailor the skills section to the programme they want.
For example:
- Administration: Organisation, recordkeeping and communication
- Information technology: Computer literacy, troubleshooting and technical interests
- Cleaning: Hygiene awareness, safety and attention to detail
- Retail: Customer service, stock handling and teamwork
- Catering: Food service, cleanliness and customer interaction
- Management: Team coordination, planning and communication
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Add a short “Preferred Learnership” line near the top of your curriculum vitae. Writing “Information Technology – Technical Support” or “Wholesale and Retail – Receiving and Dispatching” gives CSG a clearer picture of where to match your profile than a vague statement saying you will accept anything.
Does curriculum vitae registration guarantee placement?
No. CSG Group clearly states that submitting learner information does not guarantee successful placement.
Selection will depend on factors such as:
- Available programmes
- Client requirements
- Qualification entry rules
- Funding criteria
- Candidate location
- Available workplace placements
- The number of suitable applicants
Registration should be treated as an expression of interest, not confirmation that a learnership has been secured.
How should candidates submit their details?
Curriculum vitae registrations must be initiated through the official CSG Group learnership registration page.
Select the Submit CV option in the student section and follow the form instructions.
If the submission form does not load, request access guidance directly from CSG Group:

Final Thoughts
The CSG Group Learnerships 2026 registration page provides access to a broad training catalogue rather than one fixed intake.
Its 27 listed qualifications span National Qualifications Framework Levels 1 to 5, giving candidates options in administration, catering, management, cleaning, information technology, project management, security and retail.
The most important step is choosing a suitable direction. Candidates should submit accurate information, name their preferred qualification and understand that database registration does not guarantee placement.
