Applicants need Grade 12 and a valid Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority Grade C certificate. Online applications close on 24 July 2026, while no stipend amount has been announced.
The fixed-term programme combines workplace learning with practical exposure to access control, patrols, incident response, visitor management and security reporting.

An in-person recruitment session was scheduled for 20 July 2026 and has already taken place. Candidates who did not attend should use the available online submission route before 24 July 2026.

Learners will work alongside experienced security personnel while developing the practical discipline required in a professional security environment.
The programme may include exposure to:
- Access control procedures

Who meets the Stallion Security Learnership requirements?
Applicants must already hold the entry-level qualifications needed for Grade C security work.
Candidates should meet the following conditions:

- Be willing to complete the full 12-month programme

The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority Grade C certificate is compulsory. Consequently, candidates without valid Grade C registration may not qualify.
What qualities does Stallion expect from learners?
Security personnel often deal with members of the public, restricted areas and unexpected incidents. Therefore, learners need integrity, awareness and emotional control.
Stallion seeks candidates who demonstrate:
- Honesty and integrity
- Reliability
- Professional behaviour
- Strong observation skills
- Attention to detail
- Self-discipline
- Responsibility
- Teamwork
- Problem-solving ability
- Customer-service awareness

- Safety awareness
- The ability to remain calm under pressure
- A strong work ethic
Applicants should support these qualities with short examples from school, community responsibilities, previous employment or volunteer work.
What could learners experience in the workplace?
Learners will enter an operational security environment where they may need to follow site-specific procedures.
Depending on the placement, their responsibilities could include:
- Controlling entry and exit points
- Recording visitors
- Conducting patrols

Will learners need to work shifts?
Security operations often continue outside standard business hours. Therefore, learners may need to work shifts, weekends and public holidays.
Candidates should consider their transport arrangements before submitting, especially if shifts begin early or end late.
Reliability forms an important part of security work. Learners must arrive on time, report for scheduled shifts and follow instructions from supervisors.

The learnership does not guarantee permanent employment. However, completing the programme could strengthen a learner’s experience and industry knowledge.
Which documents should candidates prepare?
Applicants should gather clear and current documents before starting the online submission.
The required documents include:
- An updated curriculum vitae
- A certified copy of a valid South African identity document
- A certified copy of the Grade 12 certificate
- A valid Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority Grade C certificate
- Copies of any additional relevant qualifications or certificates
The original draft referred to an “African identity document”; however, applicants should provide a valid South African identity document.
Candidates should also confirm that the information on their curriculum vitae matches their certificates and registration records.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Place your Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority Grade C certificate and registration details near the top of your curriculum vitae. Stallion lists this certificate as compulsory, so the recruiter should not have to search through several pages to confirm that you qualify.

Candidates should:
- Include correct contact details
- Present their Grade 12 qualification clearly
- Add their valid Grade C registration
- Mention any previous security exposure
- Include customer-service experience
- Highlight shift-work availability
- Describe responsibilities involving safety or access control
- Use a professional email address
- Check spelling and document quality
- Submit before the closing date
Applicants without formal experience can mention relevant school, community or volunteer responsibilities. For example, helping manage access at an event may demonstrate observation, communication and responsibility.
