ADvTECH invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Call Center Operator vacancies (X4 Posts). The closing date for applications is 17 December 2025. If you enjoy speaking to people, helping them make important choices about their education, and working in a busy call-center environment, this could be the perfect chance for you. The role supports Capsicum Culinary Studio, one of South Africa’s well-known culinary education institutions, and it offers a solid pathway to build your career in customer service and sales.
Why This ADvTECH Call Center Role Stands Out
This opportunity is ideal for individuals who enjoy guiding others, explaining study options, and helping people understand their career paths. At ADvTECH, call center operators play a key part in growing student enrolment for Capsicum Culinary Studio. Every conversation you have can help someone take the first step toward a new future. This job is fast-paced, people-centered, and perfect for someone who likes a challenge and has a passion for communication.
Working in Johannesburg, you will be part of a supportive team that focuses on relationship-building, brand awareness, and helping the right students find the right course. If you are someone who listens well, explains clearly, and enjoys motivating others, this role gives you space to develop those strengths even further.
