MISA Water Process Controller Training Learnership Programme (Grade 12 required)

The Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA) hereby offers unemployed youth an 18 months learnership in the local government sector.

Whilst the programme is not exclusively limited to individuals from previously disadvantaged communities, MISA strives for excellence in the context of service delivery and skills development and encourages historically disadvantaged individuals to apply.

The MISA Water Process Controller Training programme is in response to the need for accredited plant operator training interventions to develop the capacity of municipalities to comply with Regulation 2834.17 of the Water Services Act No. 108 of 1997 aimed at ensuring the professionalization and certification of persons operating drinking water supply system or waterworks as Water or Wastewater Process Controllers.

The 18 months learnership programme will culminate with candidates competent in the National Certificate in Water and Waste Water Process Control NQF Level 2 eligible for registration as Class 1 Operators.
