Will I be invited to bootcamp?
Even if you met all the minimum requirements for the aptitude test, it is not guaranteed that you will be invited to a bootcamp. The timing of bootcamps, and the number of people that are invited, all depends on how much demand there is for your chosen career track.
Additionally, even if you have met the minimum requirements, there may be others in the pool who scored higher than you, and the highest scorers on our aptitude test will get preference.
Should I redo my aptitude tests?
No, please do not redo your aptitude tests! If your results don’t show up within 15 minutes, then please check again in a few days.
When is the next intake?
Umuzi takes in new cohorts nearly every three months. This depends on the business environment, and the impact of COVID-19 has increased the interval slightly. , although we’re holding thumbs with everyone else that it will get better.
What are the minimum requirements?
You need to have completed an NQF Level 4 certificate (i.e. Grade 12 or NCV Level 4).
You must have a clean criminal record (we do make some exceptions, but you have to be honest with us from the start)
You need to be a South African citizen with a valid South African ID.
Do you run any graduate programmes?
From time to time, partners will ask us specifically to recruit individuals who hold a qualification higher than NQF Level 4, for example a Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree.
