Do you have Matric, a love for design, and a curiosity about how things are built? Enflotech Group is offering a fully funded 18-month Draughting Learnership — and it could put you inside a real engineering office learning AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and 3D mechanical design. Applications close 31 March 2026. Here’s everything you need to know.
An 18-month, SETA-accredited programme. Real CAD software training. Workplace experience at a professional engineering company. If you have Matric with Maths and Physical Science at 60% or above, the Enflotech Draughting Learnership 2026 is your officially recognised gateway into South Africa’s engineering and manufacturing industry. Applications close 31 March 2026.
There are thousands of young South Africans who are technically minded, detail-oriented, and fascinated by how machines, structures, and systems are designed — but have no formal pathway into engineering.
This learnership changes that.
The Enflotech Group of Companies has officially opened applications for its Draughting Learnership Programme 2026 — an 18-month, fully structured work-based training programme that turns school leavers and unemployed youth into job-ready, SETA-qualified draughtspersons.
You’ll learn AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Autodesk Inventor. You’ll work inside a real engineering environment. And you’ll walk away with a nationally recognised qualification that opens doors in engineering, manufacturing, mining, and construction.
But the window is closing. Applications close on 31 March 2026.
What Is the Enflotech Draughting Learnership Programme?
This is a formal, SETA-accredited Draughting Qualification programme — not a short course, not a workshop. It’s an 18-month commitment that blends theoretical training with real workplace experience at the Enflotech Head Office.
The programme is designed to develop entry-level draughtspersons who are fully capable of working in professional engineering environments. That means producing technical drawings, interpreting designs, managing engineering documents, and supporting live engineering projects.

How Does the Training Actually Work?
The programme is split into two major components, designed to give you both the knowledge and the real-world experience employers expect.
Classroom & Institutional Training
An accredited training provider delivers structured theoretical content covering:
- Engineering drawing principles and technical standards
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD) — fundamentals and application
- Mechanical design basics and ISO draughting standards
- Quality and safety procedures in engineering environments
- Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) preparation — essential for certification
You’ll also receive hands-on training in industry-standard CAD software, including:
- AutoCAD — the global standard for 2D technical drawing
- SolidWorks — widely used for 3D mechanical design
- Autodesk Inventor — parametric 3D modelling for engineering
These are the exact tools that engineering firms, manufacturers, and mining companies use every day. Knowing them makes you hireable.
Workplace Learning at Enflotech
Beyond the classroom, learners gain direct experience working at Enflotech Head Office under the supervision of qualified engineers and experienced draughtspersons.
Practical workplace tasks may include:
- Preparing and updating technical drawings
- Managing drawing registers and document control
- Participating in design reviews
- Processing Engineering Change Notices (ECNs)
- Using CAD libraries and templates in live projects
- Gaining exposure to workshop and manufacturing environments
This is not observation. This is participation — and the difference matters enormously when you’re job hunting.
What Skills Will You Have After 18 Months?
By the time you complete the programme, you’ll be able to:
- Produce accurate 2D and 3D engineering drawings to professional standards
- Apply engineering dimensioning and drawing standards
- Maintain document control systems and drawing registers
- Interpret and support engineering designs and revisions
- Demonstrate professional workplace conduct and communication
- Support live engineering projects using industry CAD tools
These skills are directly transferable into roles across engineering, manufacturing, mining, construction, and industrial design.
Who Qualifies to Apply?
To be considered for the Enflotech Draughting Learnership, you must meet the following minimum requirements:
- Grade 12 / Matric certificate
- Mathematics — minimum 60%
- Physical Science — minimum 60%
- Eligible for a SETA-accredited Draughting / Engineering Drawing qualification
- Valid South African ID
- Police clearance
- Driver’s licence
Location preference: Candidates residing in the Vaal, Vereeniging, or Emfuleni area will be given preference, though this is not an absolute disqualifier for strong applicants.
This learnership is ideal for:
- Matriculants interested in engineering design or mechanical careers
- Youth who enjoy technical drawing, problem-solving, or design thinking
- Individuals wanting to learn professional CAD software
- Graduates seeking structured workplace exposure
Will You Receive a Stipend?
Yes. Participants receive a monthly stipend as outlined in the learnership agreement.
It’s important to understand the employment conditions clearly:
- This is a fixed-term learnership — not a permanent job offer
- Employment after completion is not guaranteed
- Post-programme hiring depends on available vacancies, company needs, and learner performance
That said, completing a SETA-accredited qualification with documented workplace experience significantly strengthens your employability across South Africa’s technical sectors.
What Qualification Will You Receive?
Learners who successfully complete the programme will receive:
- A SETA-accredited Draughting Qualification
- A workplace reference letter from Enflotech
- A completion certificate from the Enflotech Group
These credentials are recognised and respected in industries including engineering, manufacturing, mining, construction, and industrial design — all sectors with ongoing demand for skilled draughtspersons.
What Documents Do You Need to Apply?
Prepare and submit the following with your application:
- Updated CV
- Certified copy of South African ID
- Matric certificate
- Academic transcripts
- Driver’s licence
- Police clearance certificate
Incomplete applications reduce your chances. Get your documents certified and ready before you apply.

Important: If you have not received feedback within one week after the closing date, consider your application unsuccessful.
Apply early. Don’t wait for the final days.
Why This Learnership Is Worth Your Attention
South Africa’s engineering and technical sectors face a growing shortage of qualified draughtspersons. Companies in mining, manufacturing, and construction are actively looking for people who can translate engineering ideas into precise, buildable drawings.
A SETA-accredited Draughting Qualification positions you for roles such as:
- Junior Draughtsperson / CAD Technician
- Mechanical Design Assistant
- Engineering Drawing Office Technician
- Document Control Coordinator
- CAD Support Specialist
And unlike many entry-level roles, these positions carry long-term career growth — into senior draughting, design engineering, and project coordination.

Final Thoughts
The Enflotech Draughting Learnership Programme 2026 is a rare, structured opportunity for young South Africans to enter one of the country’s most technically demanding — and consistently in-demand — career fields.
It’s funded. It offers real workplace experience. It teaches software that global engineering firms use every day. And it ends with a qualification that speaks directly to what employers in engineering, mining, and manufacturing are looking for.
If you have Matric, Maths, and Physical Science at 60% or above — don’t let 31 March 2026 pass without applying.
