Motus Apprenticeships: Automotive Training in Pretoria and Ballito
Motus Apprenticeships offer entry-level automotive training opportunities at Menlyn and Zambezi in Pretoria, and at Kia in Ballito. The live employer listings close on 21 or 23 October 2026, with three places advertised at Menlyn and separate apprentice vacancies at the other two businesses.

The roles suit applicants who want supervised practical experience while building technical skills. Requirements differ between the dealerships, so use the individual advert rather than treating all Motus apprentice vacancies as interchangeable. Salary amounts are not published in the notices reviewed.
Motus Apprenticeships: locations and closing dates
- Menlyn Multifranchise: three Apprentice Level Year 1 positions — Pretoria, Gauteng. Closes 21 October 2026. Listed as Contract.

The Zambezi title on the recruitment portal spells the brand “Izuzu”. That listing is linked directly above so applicants can identify the correct vacancy. Keep the employer’s exact title when searching the portal or checking a submission confirmation.
Motus Apprenticeships: three Menlyn motor-mechanic places
Menlyn’s notice describes training for applicants who want to become Motor Mechanic Technicians. Apprentices report to the Service Manager and train for a maximum of three years. The stated academic requirement is Grade 12 with Pure Mathematics and Physical Science, with preference for a Technical Matric.
A clear criminal record is required. A driver’s licence and technical skills are advantages. The listing also asks for customer awareness and teamwork. Practical work involves assisting a technician with vehicle repairs, replacing components and maintaining workshop order, alongside attendance at prescribed technical or level courses.
Motus Apprenticeships: Zambezi repair work and technical courses
The Zambezi opportunity also describes a programme lasting a maximum of three years. Applicants need Grade 12 with Pure Mathematics and Physical Science; a Technical Matric receives preference. A clear criminal record is required, while a driver’s licence and technical skills are listed as advantages.
Tasks include helping with vehicle repairs and component removal or replacement, working on wheels, batteries and filters, and assisting with lubrication and oil changes under supervision. Safety, clean tools, tidy work areas and attendance at the required training courses are part of the job. The portal categorises it as entry level.
Motus Apprenticeships: Kia Ballito workplace learning
Kia’s Ballito vacancy focuses on learning under experienced professionals, completing assigned tasks and attending training. The notice lists a high-school qualification or equivalent, Physical Sciences, and Pure and Technical Maths. It does not give minimum percentages or clarify how the two Mathematics subjects are to be interpreted, so applicants with questions should confirm their subject combination with the employer.
Kia also wants basic computer skills, reliability, effective communication, teamwork and a basic understanding of the relevant industry. Unlike the two Pretoria notices, this advert does not state a three-year duration. Do not transfer a training term or licence condition from another dealership’s vacancy to this one.
What applicants can gain
The common benefit is an opportunity to learn in an automotive workplace with supervision and training expectations. The Pretoria roles describe a motor-mechanic development path, while Kia describes practical learning and skills development more generally. Progress depends on meeting the employer’s training and assessment requirements.
Employment labels also need careful reading. Menlyn is listed as Contract, while Zambezi and Kia are listed as Permanent. Those portal labels do not replace the written apprenticeship and employment terms. Before accepting an offer, establish the working hours, remuneration, training arrangements and any assessment obligations in the actual agreement.
How to apply for the right dealership
- Select the official vacancy link for your preferred dealership. Check the title and location before clicking Apply.
- Compare your school subjects and qualifications with that advert’s requirements. Distinguish compulsory criteria from advantages.
- Prepare an accurate CV showing education and any relevant practical exposure. Have clear qualification records ready for the portal’s document requests.
- Complete the application linked to the specific vacancy, review the details and submit before its deadline.
- Retain your submission confirmation and monitor the email address and phone number included in the application.
A CV registration on the general careers site is not proof that you have applied for a particular apprenticeship. Motus’s official careers page directs applicants to its recruitment portal; use the vacancy-level application so the dealership and role are clear.
Motus Apprenticeships: frequently asked questions
Do all three vacancies require a driver’s licence?
The Menlyn and Zambezi notices describe it as an advantage. Kia’s reviewed checklist does not list it. Follow the advert for your chosen position.

These three reviewed vacancies do not list N3 as a compulsory requirement. Other Motus advertisements may have different criteria, so avoid applying their checklists to these posts.
Is a stipend amount available?
No payment amount is published in these notices. Ask Motus about the applicable package during recruitment.
When should applicants expect feedback?
The portal’s recruitment terms say that applicants who have not heard back within three weeks of submitting should consider their application unsuccessful.
