About Megchem Learnership
MegChem runs a 1-year learnership in Computer Aided Drawing Office Practice at its head office in Secunda, Mpumalanga. As an engineering and technical services company operating in the chemicals and energy sector, MegChem needs skilled drawing office staff who can translate engineering designs into accurate technical drawings.
This is a fairly specialised, technically focused learnership rather than a broad general-skills programme, which makes it a strong option for candidates who already show an aptitude for technical drawing and design work.
Because the programme runs at a fixed location in Secunda and starts in January each year, it suits candidates who can relocate or already live in the area, rather than being available flexibly nationwide.

Funding Details
Over the year, learners gain a genuinely specialised technical skill, Computer Aided Drawing Office Practice, that applies directly to engineering, chemicals, and energy sector roles, not just at MegChem.
Because this NQF Level 4 qualification is fairly niche, learners who complete it stand out for drawing office and technical design roles that broader, more generic learnerships do not prepare candidates for.
Where You Can Study
Training takes place at MegChem's head office in Secunda, Mpumalanga, rather than at a separate college or university. This is a fully workplace-based learnership, run directly by the company.
Because the programme starts in January and is based specifically in Secunda, you need to be able to attend the full programme in person at that location for the full year.
