    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):
    The principle of flexible and open access will be offset against the provision so that this is not to the detriment of the potential learner and that his/her chances to succeed are reasonable. Through evaluation by a specifically constituted RPL committee, learners' competencies will be assessed to determine whether they are eligible for access to, advanced placement in, or have provided evidence that the stated competence of the qualification has been achieved through experience that complies with the stated specified outcomes. RPL applicants will be required to prepare portfolios of evidence containing evidence from four sources, including:
  • Formal learning (e.g., certificates, academic transcripts, etc.),
  • Informal learning (e.g., job descriptions, employment contracts, etc.),
  • Work products (e.g., statements from employers, evidence of work performed
    by the applicant, etc.) and
  • Formal interview.

    RPL for access:
  • Applicants without the minimum admission requirements for a qualification but with work experience and other relevant qualifications may be invited to submit a portfolio of evidence (PoE) to the academic assistant.
  • The principles of RPL are accepted and will be implemented in a flexible manner, with no more than 10% of a cohort of learners in a qualification admitted through an RPL process.

    RPL credits:
  • Learners may also be given credit through RPL for individual modules if they can produce a portfolio of evidence or undergo any other recognised means of assessment that shows that they meet the outcomes and associated assessment criteria specified for that module. > RPL credits, on the other hand, cannot exceed 50% of the total credits.
  • Applications for credit via the RPL mechanism are reviewed by the RPL committee, which allows for uniform and consistent application of the RPL policy.

    Entry Requirements:
    The minimum entry requirement for this qualification is:
  • National Senior Certificate (NSC), NQF Level 4 granting access to bachelor's degree studies.

    INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT
    The institution makes use of projects, research essays, portfolios of evidence, case studies, product evaluations, reports, observations and examinations as assessment strategies to determine learners' conceptual understanding and applied competencies and successful completion of learning.

    This qualification aligns very well with the institution's assessment strategies which provide for the evaluation of learners' academic achievement based on the assessment of academic work.

    The assessment principle underlying both modes of evaluating learners' achievement is that a learner's success or failure should be decided based on the following educational criteria:
  • Online assessments (formative) constitute 40%.
  • Online Assessment (Summative) constitutes 50%.
  • Performance in work-oriented activities. constitutes 10%
  • Continuous assessment tasks and activities inter alia include online tests, homework, simulations, portfolios, worksheets, projects, examinations and practicals (10%).

    The work will be done individually, by learners. Actual activities involve:
  • Standardised online tests (1 1/2 hours long) every four weeks before the semester exams as well as an assignment during the semester.
  • All online tests will be saved into a database for future use.
  • All the above contribute approximately 40% towards the final mark, depending on the module.

    In line with the requirement for flexibility, this parameter may be adjusted slightly to reflect important industry trends, but without substantially changing the nature of the course. Summative evaluation constitutes up to approximately 60% of the overall mark, depending on the module.
