PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
A person acquiring this qualification will be able to operate and control primary bread plant processing operations under general supervision and control in an automated or semi-automated bread plant. This qualification facilitates access to, and mobility within career paths within the food processing and especially the pastry and biscuit baking environment and contributes to the social and economic development of the country at large.

This qualification will allow a person to advance to several baking processing qualifications at NQF level 3 and 4. The packaging unit standards provide credits that can be carried over to a national certificate in food and beverage packaging qualification on NQF level 3. This qualification will enhance the social status and productivity within the baking industry.

Rationale of the qualification
This qualification reflects the workplace-based needs of the plant bread baking industry that is expressed by employers and employees, both now and for the future. This qualification provides the learner with accessibility to be employed within the plant bread baking industry and provides the flexibility to pursue different careers in the baking industry and articulation within the food industry. The level of flexibility within the range of electives will allow the individual to pursue a career within packaging, pastry and biscuit processing environment.

    Integrated Assessment

    The applied competence (practical, foundational and reflexive competencies) of this qualification will be achieved if a candidate is able to operate and control primary bread plant processing operations under general supervision and control in an automated or semi-automated bread plant.

    The identification and solving of problems, team work, organising one-self, the using of applied science, the implication of actions and reactions in the world as a set of related systems must be assessed during any combination of practical, foundational and reflexive competencies assessment methods and tools to determine the whole person development and integration of applied knowledge and skills.

    Applicable assessment tool(s) to establish foundational, reflexive and embedded knowledge, problem solving and the application of the world as a set of related systems within the manufacturing environment.

    A detailed portfolio of evidence is required to prove the practical, applied and foundational competencies of the learner.
    Assessors and moderators should develop and conduct their own integrated assessment by making use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.
    Unit standards in the qualification must be used to assess specific and critical cross-field outcomes. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and should assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflexive competencies.
