In addition to the tax deductions that a company can claim for entering into a learnership and completing the learnership, can the company also claim a tax deduction on the remuneration of the learner?

Is the remuneration a normal salary for work performed by the learner?

That will be deductible under normal circumstances as salaries and wages.
