PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

Practitioners who have earned this qualification will advance their competence in a range of ETD roles. (The qualification is thus a formative rather than a specialist qualification). They will be capable of making significant contributions to structured and targeted skills development at the level of learning programmes within enterprises or other learning environments.

The qualification will allow practitioners to advance to a Level 5 Diploma in Occupation-directed ETD. It also provides them with credits which they can carry across towards earning any other ETD qualification at the same level.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

This is an additional or complementary qualification, as practitioners are assumed to have a prior qualification (or equivalent competence) in an occupational field before applying to be assessed for this qualification.

Recognition of prior learning

This qualification may be achieved in part or in whole through the recognition of prior learning.

RECOGNISE PREVIOUS LEARNING?

QUALIFICATION RULES

In the fundamental component of the qualification, a learner must achieve a minimum of 24 credits by demonstrating the competence required by any standards at level 4 or above in the fields of languages and communication (8 credits); mathematical sciences and numeracy (8 credits); information technology (4 credits); and equity issues in education and training (4 credits).

In the core component of the qualification in any permutation, a learner must achieve the following Level 5 occupation-directed ETD standards: facilitation, planning, assessment design, evaluation, research and occupational development. (Total of 86 credits).

In the elective component of the qualification, a learner must choose one of four possible permutations. These are: training, design, management and assessment.

If learners choose the training permutation, they must elect to do the guidance and counselling standard at level 5 (12 credits).

If learners choose the management permutation, they must elect to do the management standard at level 5 (12 credits).

If learners choose the design permutation, they must elect to do the learning materials design standard at level 5 (12 credits).

If learners choose the assessment permutation, they must elect to do the moderation unit standard at level 5 (12 credits).

In addition, a learner choosing any possible permutation must attain a minimum of 8 credits by achieving any of the Occupation-Directed ETD Level 6 standards.

The elective component of the qualification must therefore total a minimum of 20 credits.

EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES

1. Generate options and possibilities for skills and personal development learning opportunities at the level of learnerships / learning programmes.

2. Identify the most appropriate options for learning opportunities at learnership / learning programme level, and explain the basis for the choice made, which should include enterprise and sector level elements of the Skills Development Strategy.

3. Implement learnerships / learning programmes while continuously monitoring and adapting both the training and own performance.

4. Reflect on what they have learnt about themselves as learners and as practitioners during planning and implementation, and identify strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement.

ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Integrated assessment

Assessors should develop and conduct their own integrated assessment against the specific and critical outcomes in a manner, which takes account of established assessment principles and makes use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods.

Assessment should involve the application of acquired competence in a workplace or other occupationally directed context.

Assessors should specifically check for the following:

1. Practitioners should demonstrate competence in the specific outcomes in context. Such demonstration must include:

Making provision for increasing worker access to education and training within the workplace;

- contributing to more structured and targeted skills development within enterprises or other occupationally directed contexts;
- taking account of workplace productivity as well as increasing the independence and responsibility of learners; and

taking into account the national Skills Development Strategy as well as the enterprise / industry strategies for development.

2. Oral and/or written explanations of how issues that have not occurred during observed performance would be dealt with.

3. Written and / or oral self-assessment of the practitioner`s own performance and possible future improvements.

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY

International comparability

This qualification is comparable to the equivalent Australian qualification.

MODERATION OPTIONS

1. Anyone moderating the assessment of a learner against this qualification must be registered as an assessor with the relevant ETQA.

2. Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this qualification must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA.

3. Moderation of assessment will be overseen by the relevant ETQA according to the ETQA`s policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation; in terms of agreements reached around moderation between ETQAs (including professional bodies); and in terms of the moderation guideline detailed under point 4 immediately below.

4. Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments at exit points of the qualification, unless ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described both in individual unit standards as well as the integrated competence described in the qualification.

Anyone wishing to be assessed against this qualification may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution, which is accredited by the relevant ETQA.

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
