Ready to launch a career in insurance? AVBOB, Africa’s largest mutual assurance society with 5.5 million+ members, offers a 12-month Long-Term Insurance Learnership (NQF Level 4, 140 credits) in partnership with INSETA. With a Matric certificate and ~R5,000/month stipend, you’ll gain industry skills. Apply now to join a 4.2/5 Indeed-rated leader.
Why AVBOB’s Learnership Stands Out
Unlike typical programs, AVBOB’s learnership immerses you in a R600 billion insurance sector, blending NQF-accredited theory with hands-on experience at 1,000+ branches (avbob.co.za). With 65% of learners securing roles as financial associates or administrators (jobsandmore.co.za), you’ll grow in a program tailored for unemployed youth, including those with disabilities.
What’s the AVBOB Learnership Role?
AVBOB, founded in 1918, provides funeral insurance and burial services across South Africa. As a learner, you’ll work in sales, administration, or client services at branches in Gauteng, Limpopo, or KwaZulu-Natal, supporting 10,000+ monthly policies while earning a recognized qualification in a SETA-accredited program.

- Assist with client inquiries and policy sales
- Process insurance claims and administrative tasks
- Learn long-term insurance principles via training
- Collaborate with financial associates on client needs

Where’s It Going?
Work in branches like Centurion or Umhlanga, gaining skills for roles like insurance advisor or claims processor. With insurance growing 5% yearly (Stats SA 2025), AVBOB’s 90% learner completion rate (studentroom.co.za) prepares you for careers at firms like Old Mutual. Its focus on rural access enhances your industry edge.
Does It Work?
AVBOB’s 4.2/5 Indeed rating (2025) praises training and support but notes sales targets. Ideal for driven communicators, 80% gain insurance expertise within a year (jobsandmore.co.za). Unlike short courses, AVBOB’s structured program offers deep, practical skills for a thriving career.
