AVBOB & INSETA Long‑Term Insurance Learnership 2026 – A Job Opportunity for South African Youth
Are you a young South African looking for a career in the insurance world? AVBOB, a well‑known insurance and funeral service company, and the Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority (INSETA) are offering a full‑time, 12‑month learnership in long‑term insurance for people who are 18 to 35 years old and have finished high school. If you’re ready to learn, work, and earn a monthly stipend, read on to find out how to apply.
What the Learnership Looks Like
This program combines classroom training with real work. For a year, you’ll spend part of your week learning the basics of long‑term insurance—how plans are sold, how policies are managed, and how customers are helped. The rest of the time you’ll work at an AVBOB office in your region, doing the same jobs that insurance professionals do every day.
At the end, you’ll earn an INSETA‑accredited qualification that shows you are ready to work in the financial services sector. Employers in South Africa recognize INSETA certificates, so the learnership can open many doors.
Why This Learnership Is a Great Choice
- Earn While You Learn – You’ll receive a monthly stipend for the entire 12 months.
- Work Experience Nationwide – You can be posted to AVBOB offices anywhere in South Africa.
- Build Essential Skills – You’ll practice communication, teamwork, and office computer tools like MS Office.
- Clear Path to a Paid Job – After the learnership, many graduates move into entry‑level insurance roles.
