PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

Purpose:
The purpose of the Diploma in Road Transport Management Passengers is to develop students with a wide range of vocational and industry-specific intellectual competencies, knowledge and practical skills. This will enable students to critically explain and apply road transport management principles, processes and procedures. The student should be able to take decisions in the context of a road transport (passengers) organisation interpret relevant information and produce innovative responses based on informed judgement to concrete but often unfamiliar problems. The qualification will provide the student with a range of fundamental knowledge and competencies in fields such as business communication, information systems, supply chain management, marketing management and financial management. Furthermore, it will also provide the student with detailed knowledge about road transport legislation and the application of general management principles and specific road passenger transport management principles on a junior management level. The programme is relevant and responsive to the needs of the South African road passenger transport industry.

Rationale:
The programme provides a learning opportunity to entry level employees in the road passenger transport management industry to develop relevant knowledge and skills through a limited contact, industry focussed programme. The offering of the Dip (Road Transport Management Passengers) will address South Africa's road transport management-related scarce skills stemming from the fact that has been identified on the National Scarce Skills List of 2008. Knowing that students are mostly working adults, the Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management will ensure that the programme learning support material will provides guidance and academic support in the learning process.
