Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I apply via email or WhatsApp?
The current advertisement specifically requests a CV Drop-off at 317 Paul Kruger Street, Capital Park. Unless otherwise stated by the Academy, physical submissions are the most reliable way to ensure your documents are received.
2. What if my PSIRA certificate is not certified?
In the security industry, certification of documents (by a Commissioner of Oaths or SAPS) is mandatory to prove authenticity. Uncertified documents may result in your application being discarded.
3. Do I need to live in Pretoria to apply for the Wallmannsthal site?
It is highly recommended. Proof of residence is required because the company prioritizes “local” deployment to ensure punctuality and reduce transport costs for the officers.
4. Is there an age limit for the “Physically Fit” requirement?
While there is no strict age limit, the role involves standing for long periods, patrolling, and potentially chasing intruders. You must be able to pass a basic physical assessment.
5. How will I know if I am hired?
Eldna Security typically contacts shortlisted candidates for an interview and a competency test. If you are not contacted within 30 days of your drop-off, your application may have been unsuccessful.
