Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I apply with an N6 certificate?
An N6 certificate alone does not meet the stated National Diploma at NQF Level 6 requirement. The advert requests a completed National Diploma or Degree in the specified fields.

The advert does not specify a minimum work-experience requirement. It should therefore not be described as explicitly stating “no experience required”.
3. Is R7,000 confirmed as a monthly stipend?
The official vacancy lists R7,000 without stating the payment frequency. Confirm this with the employer.
4. How long is the internship?
The contract-duration field in the supplied official vacancy is blank.
5. Can I email my application to the helpdesk?
The listed email is for technical support. Submit your application through the official recruitment portal.
6. Can I wait until shortlisting to provide supporting documents?
Do not assume this. The portal applies different document rules to government departments and public entities. Follow the document requirements displayed for this KZN Sharks Board vacancy.
