Cleaning work in South Africa is real, skilled work — and the law is finally on your side. From 1 March 2026 a domestic worker earns the same minimum wage as any other worker. This course teaches you two things at once: exactly what rights you have (minimum wage, a written contract, UIF, leave, safe hours) so nobody can cheat you, AND how to clean like a professional — room by room, chemicals that can kill you if mixed, laundry and ironing, and how to win trust and keep good clients for years. Every lesson is practical. Nothing here costs money — just practice.
The Domestic & Professional Cleaning: Know Your Rights and Be Excellent course is R79, done entirely on your phone in English and isiZulu, and gives you a certificate of competence you can verify online by QR code. It covers 6 modules and 0 short lessons, with a final assessment you must pass to earn the certificate.
It costs R79, once off. That includes every lesson, the assessment, and your certificate. You can pay by card, EFT or voucher.
