Principles of the reconstruction:
The project to reconstruct the NATED Report 191 Part 2 courses is built on the following principles:
The qualification will result in an Occupational Certificate as stipulated by the (OQSF) Occupational Sub-framework policy document
The qualification is intended for a National footprint and a mass education profile
The Qualification will have an entry requirement as Level 4 with certain specifications as per individual qualification
The exit level of the qualification will be at Level 5, but does not exclude level 6 components as needed within certain modules, to allow for
smoother articulation into HEI related qualifications
The curriculum is a modularised type curriculum which consists of the following type of learning:
Knowledge/theory type learning
Practical skills and a
Workplace component
All components need to be completed to gain access to the External Integrated Summative Assessment
FET /TVET lecturers form a major component of the Community of Expert Practitioners
The rest of the Community of Expert Practitioners will consist of the following constituencies:
Professional Bodies,
Associations,
Employers,
Unions and
Relevant SETA’s as per learning area
The entire qualification is industry lead, thus investigation into different sectors of industry and their expectations of the learners competencies
are analysed and fed back into the curriculation process
Articulation possibilities into (HEI’s) Higher Education Institutions are also explored and consulted on via forums such as (SATN) South African
Technology Network initiatives to create possible seamless progression into the Diploma level 6
The reconstruction process could also include current Unit Standard Based qualifications to limit proliferation of occupational qualification.
The QCTO will act as the DQP and QDF in all projects
