What the first requirement means
Mathematics Literacy is explicitly excluded. Matric Mathematics, Physical Science and English must each be at least 40%. The advert then lists N2-or-higher subjects for each discipline and also mentions an appropriate NCV Level 4 with every subject at 40% or above. Its formatting does not clearly explain whether NCV Level 4 replaces the N2 route, so confirm the option presented in the official application form.
What makes this role different
This intake is divided among nine named trades rather than one general engineering stream. Mechanical Fitter has four advertised places, Boilermaker has three, and the remaining routes have one or two each. Applicants should therefore match their technical subjects to a specific route before opening the employer form.
How to apply
- Choose the advertised trade that matches the subjects shown on your Matric, N2 or NCV certificates; do not select a route only because its title sounds appealing.
- Prepare one complete upload containing your CV, certified copies of relevant qualifications and a copy of your South African ID.
- If you are applying from a host community, add proof of residence stamped by the relevant tribal office or municipality, as required in the source.
- Submit through Valterra Platinum's official form before the safer 30 August 2026 apply-by date, then retain confirmation and reference REF80388V.
Decide before you apply
This programme suits an unemployed applicant whose school and technical results match one advertised trade, who can provide every requested document and who is ready for both classroom-style and workplace training at Amandelbult.
Do not treat general engineering interest as enough. Mathematics Literacy, missing technical subjects, an incomplete document pack or choosing a trade that does not match your results could prevent the employer from verifying your application.
Make your CV specific
Put the chosen trade near the top of your CV, followed by Matric subject names and percentages, then the exact N2 or NCV qualification and relevant technical subjects. Keep the wording consistent with the certificates you upload.
The clearest evidence is a readable document set showing Mathematics, Physical Science, English and the trade-specific technical subjects. Applicants from host communities also need the source-stated stamped proof of residence.
