Security Learnerships 2026/2027: Monthly Stipends, Requirements and Official Application Websites
South Africans interested in the private security industry can currently check several learnership opportunities for 2026 and 2027.
Current programmes include opportunities from Eagle Eye Security Specialists, Vale Risk, Delta Blue Security, TSU Protection Services and AM Security Services. Some programmes advertise monthly stipends, while others do not publish the allowance amount.
This guide for Linkinn.co.za was updated on 29 September 2026 and includes the official employer website or official recruitment page wherever one is available.
Important: only Eagle Eye has a clearly published closing date before 31 October among the opportunities below. Some other active learnership pages do not state a closing date. Linkinn.co.za will not invent a deadline where the employer has not published one.

Because the official employer website does not currently publish a dedicated learnership advert containing the stipend, applicants should reconfirm the amount before accepting any placement.

Which Security Learnership Pays the Highest Advertised Stipend?
Among the opportunities in this article with publicly advertised figures:
Delta Blue Security: R5,500 per month
Vale Risk: R4,500 per month
However, there is an important difference in verification.
The Delta Blue amount comes from its published vacancy notice reproduced by multiple sources, while the Vale Risk amount comes from current recruitment listings. Neither amount appears on a dedicated official employer learnership webpage that we could verify today. (SSETASouthAfrica)
Applicants should therefore confirm the allowance before accepting a place.
The TSU and AM Security Services official recruitment pages do not state their stipend amounts. (Tsu)
Which Security Learnership Is Closing First?
The most urgent opportunity in this list is:
Eagle Eye Security Specialists
Closing: 30 September 2026
Because today is 29 September 2026, qualifying Ekurhuleni applicants have very little time left to submit their application. (www.allJobs24.co.za)
The other programmes either do not show a closing date or currently have active application pages.
What Documents Should You Prepare?
Requirements vary, but applicants may commonly need:
- Updated CV
- South African ID
- Matric certificate or highest qualification
- Academic results where requested
- Proof of residence where the programme is location-specific
- Disability documentation where applicable
- Other certificates specifically requested by the programme
Do not send extra sensitive documents unless the employer’s genuine application process asks for them.
What Is a Security Learnership?
A learnership combines structured education with practical work experience.
The Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority (SASSETA) explains that a learnership must include structured learning and practical workplace experience and should lead towards a qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework. (SASSETA)
Security learnerships can therefore give learners:
- Formal learning
- Workplace experience
- Industry exposure
- A recognised qualification
- Practical professional skills
- Potential access to future entry-level employment
Completion of a learnership does not automatically guarantee permanent employment.
Important Application Warning
Applicants should be careful with unofficial social-media posts that promise guaranteed jobs or unusually high stipends.
Before submitting an application:
- Confirm the employer
- Use the official employer recruitment page where one exists
- Check the closing date
- Confirm the stipend if one is advertised
- Never pay someone to guarantee placement
- Never provide passwords, banking PINs or OTPs
If an employer provides a direct careers portal, that should generally be your first choice.

Final Reminder
Applicants searching for security learnerships in 2026 and 2027 currently have several programmes to check.
The most important application links are:
- Eagle Eye Security Specialists — employer website plus email application
- Vale Risk — official employer website and employer email
- Delta Blue Security — company website, with physical application according to its notice
- TSU Protection Services Centurion — direct online application
- TSU Protection Services Cape Town — direct online application
- AM Security Services Centurion — direct online application
- AM Security Services Strand — direct online application
The strongest rule is simple:
Use the employer’s official recruitment channel whenever one is available.
Do not assume that every security learnership pays the same stipend, and do not assume a closing date if the employer has not published one.
