ACRA invites you to participate in the Accelerated Artisan Training Programme (AATP). This is a guaranteed ring-fenced programme and supports the merSETA’s strategic intent to strengthen the artisan training pipeline both quantitatively and qualitatively on a dedicated joint cooperation and research platform. An accelerated apprenticeship is a modern apprenticeship programme that fast-tracks artisan development through up-front institutional training until all competencies have been achieved in a simulation environment, followed by workplace exposure over the required 80 to 90 weeks and which ends in a trade test.
Employers need to have enough qualified artisans to mentor these apprentices – the ratio of one qualified artisan to two apprentices. Employers will need to be workplace approved by merSETA. ACRA will oversee the programme, the related apprenticeship management systems and the required training for the selected candidate apprentices on your behalf. The accelerated format of the programme requires that candidate apprentices entering the programme have a higher qualification than required.
