CREDITS
The skills programme has a minimum credit value of 13, which is made up from the core unit standards. Elective unit standards (14 credits) have also been selected to meet specified requirements. (See the Appendix for more unit standards).
ACCESS TO THE SKILLS PROGRAMME
This skills programme is open to anyone with access to learning opportunities and work experience in the areas reflected in the exit level outcomes and unit standards. It is advisable that candidates should already have addressed the areas associated with the NQF Level 1 requirements.
PROGRAMME DURATION AND FORMAT
Classroom training – 4 working days. Workplace (practical) application – 48 working days. Classroom training is facilitated by competent ETD practitioners. Facilitation sessions comprise of lecturing as well as interactive discussions, individual and group sessions.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
Relevant practical experience will be obtained during the learning phase of this skills programme. The assessment of individual unit standards will confirm the required practical experience.
INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT
For awarding recognition for the skills programme, a candidate must achieve a minimum of all the core unit standards. The assessment criteria in the unit standards are performance-based (applied competence as opposed to required knowledge only). This means that workplace experience may be recognised when awarding credits towards this skills programme. The candidate must demonstrate the ability to effectively engage in operations in an integrative way, dealing with divergent and “random” demands related to the work operations.
