Overview
The South African Navy is one of the most capable naval forces in the African region, with advanced operating units of battleships, submarines, patrol craft, and auxiliary vessels, as well as a marine force of over 7000 soldiers.
The South African Navy’s primary mission is to maintain, defend, and participate in counter-piracy operations, fisheries protection, search and rescue, and maritime law enforcement for the benefit of South Africa and its international allies.
The South African Navy Traineeship / Learnership, which is part of the South African Military Skills Development System (MSDS), provides young South African citizens with the opportunity to serve in the MSDS for two years as a Submariner or Diver. The voluntary service system attempts to provide young South Africans with the necessary skills to participate in the open market.
Young recruits will receive Military Training as well as Functional Training during the course of two years of training. Recruits will be deployed in the second year and given the opportunity to put their knowledge and talents into practice.
For the selection procedure, applicants will be subjected to Psychometric Testing, Medical Evaluation, Criminal Record Vetting, and Qualification Verification. Diver applicants will be needed to pass a swimming test.
