Closing Date: 25 September 2025

About the Programme
Sasol, a global leader in chemicals and energy, is once again creating opportunities for women through its Female Fuel Distribution Tanker Drivers Learnership Programme 2025. This initiative is designed for women who want to grow into professional heavy vehicle drivers within the fuel distribution sector.
The programme combines classroom learning with practical, on-the-road training. It equips learners with the right licenses, certifications, and experience to succeed in an industry that has traditionally had very few women drivers.
Programme Purpose
The learnership helps women who hold a Code 10 driver’s license to upgrade their skills and obtain:
- A Code 14 driver’s license
- A Professional Driving Permit (PrDP)
- A Dangerous Goods certification
This provides both the qualifications and the workplace exposure needed to build a career as a professional tanker driver.
