As we step into 2025, the African Development Consortium (ADC) is thrilled to announce the launch of its flagship Learnership Program, the Social Auxiliary Worker NQF Level 5 course, starting in March. This program is designed to provide individuals with the essential skills and qualifications required to excel in the social services sector. With a focus on practical learning and real-world application, the course aims to empower participants to make a positive impact in their communities and become key players in the field of social work.
What is the Social Auxiliary Worker NQF Level 5 Program?
The Social Auxiliary Worker NQF Level 5 course is an accredited learnership program aimed at equipping participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to work effectively in the social services sector. The program covers essential topics that will help participants understand the role of a social auxiliary worker, work with diverse communities, and contribute meaningfully to social development.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will earn a National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 5 qualification, which will open doors to career opportunities in social work and community development.
Course Modules
The Social Auxiliary Worker NQF Level 5 course will cover three key modules that are integral to the role of a social auxiliary worker:

This module provides an in-depth understanding of the history, policies, and current practices in social auxiliary work within South Africa. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the socio-political context and its impact on communities and individuals in need of social services. - Social Work Methods and Principles
In this module, participants will explore the core methods and principles used in social work, including case management, intervention strategies, and the ethical practices that guide social work in South Africa.

Effective communication is at the heart of social work. This module will teach participants how to communicate with individuals from diverse backgrounds, navigate sensitive situations, and foster positive relationships with clients, communities, and other social service professionals.
Why is This Program Important?
