Description
Motus Apprenticeships 2026 currently include several Level Year 1 opportunities in Gauteng for candidates who want to build practical motor-mechanic skills inside dealership workshops. Instead of creating separate short articles for each branch, the current Motus apprenticeship openings are grouped here so applicants can compare location, closing date and entry requirements before choosing where to apply. The available positions are at Haval Kempton Park, Toyota Strydom Park in Randburg and Motus Garsfontein Multifranchise in Pretoria. All three are entry-level automotive opportunities built around structured workplace learning, supervised vehicle repair and the gradual development of workshop skills. The Toyota Strydom Park and Garsfontein roles specifically state that the apprentice should be willing to complete an Apprentice Training Programme for up to three years with the goal of becoming a Motor Mechanic Technician, while Haval Kempton Park describes a Level Year 1 learning route covering maintenance, repair, workshop organisation, parts handling and customer interaction.
The Motus Apprenticeships 2026 also share a practical expectation: applicants should be genuinely interested in automotive technology and comfortable learning by working alongside qualified technicians. The two Toyota/Garsfontein positions have stricter published school-subject requirements, including Grade 12 with Pure Mathematics and Physical Science, while the Haval role asks for a completed high-school qualification and basic mechanical aptitude. Because the closing dates are close, applicants should prepare documents immediately and apply only to the branches they can realistically attend.
Available Positions
- Apprentice: Level Year 1 — Toyota Strydom Park, Randburg — closes 13 August 2026.
- Apprentice: Level Year 1 — Motus Garsfontein Multifranchise, Pretoria — closes 13 August 2026.
- Apprentice: Level Year 1 — Haval Kempton Park — closes 14 August 2026.
What the Apprenticeship Involves
The Toyota Strydom Park and Garsfontein apprenticeship roles are strongly workshop-focused. Apprentices assist technicians with vehicle repairs, remove and replace parts, lift vehicles safely, change lubricants and oils under supervision, remove and fit wheels, filters and batteries, keep tools and equipment in good condition, attend prescribed technical courses and follow workshop safety rules. These duties are designed to build the practical foundation needed for later motor-mechanic technician work.
The Haval Kempton Park role follows a similar learning direction but the published description also gives more attention to customer interaction and workshop support. Apprentices participate in hands-on maintenance and repair training, assist technicians in diagnosing vehicle issues, help maintain tools and the workshop environment, support parts and inventory activity, learn to communicate with customers about vehicle status and take part in ongoing training sessions.
Minimum Requirements
Toyota Strydom Park and Motus Garsfontein require Grade 12 with Pure Mathematics and Physical Science. A Technical Matric is preferred, a valid driver’s licence is advantageous and applicants must have a clear criminal record. Technical skills are useful, but the roles remain entry level. Haval Kempton Park requires a completed high-school qualification or equivalent, an interest in automotive technology, strong communication, basic mechanical aptitude, teamwork and a willingness to learn. A valid driver’s licence is preferred but not essential for the Haval role.
Which Motus Apprenticeship Should You Apply For?
Start with the branch you can commute to consistently, because workshop training depends on regular attendance. Next, check your Matric subjects. If you passed Pure Mathematics and Physical Science, the Toyota Strydom Park and Garsfontein routes are directly aligned with the published requirements. If your school background is broader but you can show mechanical interest, technical workshops, automotive courses or hands-on exposure, the Haval Kempton Park listing may be the more flexible option. There is no benefit in applying to every branch if you cannot meet its stated academic or location requirement.
What Could Strengthen Your Application
- Grade 12 results showing Pure Mathematics and Physical Science where required.
- Technical Matric, automotive subjects or workshop-related coursework.
- A valid South African driver’s licence, where available.
- Examples of practical mechanical work, school projects or automotive workshops.
- A clear explanation of why you want to qualify as a motor-mechanic technician.
- Evidence that you can follow safety procedures and work well with technicians and customers.

Final Summary
Motus currently has three verified Level Year 1 apprenticeship opportunities across Gauteng. The roles are designed for entry-level candidates who want structured automotive workshop training, with the Toyota and Garsfontein routes especially suited to Matric candidates who completed Pure Mathematics and Physical Science. Closing dates are 13 and 14 August 2026, so applications need to be submitted promptly.
