Toshiba Technical Apprentice Learnership 2026: Equipment Servicing and Maintenance Training

Toshiba Business Systems is offering a Technical Apprentice Learnership Programme in Milnerton, Western Cape, for unemployed South African youth interested in becoming photocopier technicians.

The programme combines theoretical learning with practical workplace training in equipment servicing, maintenance, fault finding and technical support.

Successful learners will receive a monthly stipend of R6,000.

What is the Toshiba Technical Apprentice Learnership?

The programme is designed for candidates who are not already trained technicians but want to build practical technical skills.

You will learn the basics of servicing and maintaining photocopier equipment while developing the hands-on experience needed for technical support work.

The opportunity is full time and structured as a learnership.

What will you learn?

Training will cover areas such as:

Basic technical maintenance
Equipment servicing
Fault finding
Practical technical work
Handling and moving photocopier machines
Theoretical technical knowledge
Workplace technical training

The programme is intended to build a foundation for work as a photocopier technician.

How does equipment servicing work?

Equipment servicing involves inspecting machines, identifying problems and carrying out the maintenance needed to keep them working correctly.

As a learner, you can expect to build practical skills in checking equipment, recognising faults and supporting basic maintenance work.

This type of experience can also strengthen your understanding of electronics, mechanical components and technical troubleshooting.

What does fault finding involve?

Fault finding is the process of identifying why a machine is not operating correctly.

You will learn to approach technical problems systematically by checking equipment, identifying possible causes and supporting the repair or servicing process.

This is an important skill in technical support because accurate diagnosis helps reduce unnecessary repairs and downtime.

Will the work be physically demanding?

Yes. Applicants must be physically fit and able to move heavy photocopier machines.

The position therefore suits candidates who are comfortable with practical, hands-on work rather than purely office-based tasks.

Do you need previous technical training?

No previous technician qualification is required.

The programme is aimed at candidates who still need to develop the technical knowledge and practical experience needed for this type of work.

Applicants who are already trained or qualified technicians are not the target group for the learnership.

Who can apply?

You must:

Have Grade 12
Have a valid driver’s licence
Be interested in practical technical work
Be physically fit
Be able to move heavy machines
Be able to speak English
Be able to write in English
Be able to commute reliably to Milnerton or relocate before starting

These requirements reflect the practical and mobile nature of equipment servicing.

Why is a driver’s licence required?

A valid driver’s licence is compulsory.

Technical service work can involve travelling between customer sites or transporting equipment and tools, so being able to drive can be an important part of the job.

Who is this learnership best suited to?

The programme may suit you if you are interested in careers involving:

Technical support
Equipment servicing
Office equipment maintenance
Photocopier repairs
Electronics
Mechanical maintenance
Fault diagnosis
Field service

It is especially relevant if you enjoy working with your hands and solving practical technical problems.

What skills can the programme help you build?

The learnership can help you develop experience in:

Technical maintenance
Equipment servicing
Fault finding
Basic diagnostics
Equipment handling
Workplace safety
Technical problem solving
Customer-site support

These skills can be useful in office technology, electronics, field service and equipment-maintenance environments.

How much is the stipend?

Successful learners will receive:

R6,000 per month

This is a learnership stipend.

The learnership is based in Milnerton, Western Cape.

Applicants must be able to travel reliably to the workplace or relocate before starting.
