AM Security Services Learnership

AM Security Services, a leading provider of integrated security solutions in South Africa, has launched its 2026 Learnership Programme to develop future-ready security professionals. This initiative is aligned with the National Skills Development Strategy and caters especially to individuals passionate about public safety, private security, and professional service.

This learnership is fully accredited and leads to a National Certificate in General Security Practices (NQF Level 3) — a SAQA-recognised qualification. The programme blends classroom-based learning with real-world workplace experience under the guidance of qualified mentors.

• Accredited security training modules
• Hands-on experience in guarding, access control, patrolling, incident response, and reporting
• Training aligned with Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) standards
