How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put your PSIRA number and grade right under your name. Recruiters check it on the PSIRA system before they even phone you.
