PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The purpose of the Qualification is to empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate ethically and responsibly as Financial Advisors, Planners or Intermediaries and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and changing nature of the Financial Services Industry. It should add value to the qualifying learner in terms of enrichment of the person, status, licensing and recognition.

As a Qualification in Wealth Management, it provides a framework for learners to develop competencies related to the Long Term Insurance Sub-Sector, which includes Life Benefits, Healthcare Benefits Administration and Employee Benefits, Short Term Insurance and the Collective Investment Sub-Sector. It provides a balanced learning experience that allows flexible access to life-long learning, and to productive employment in Wealth Management, Collective Investments, Short Term and Long Term Insurance. It provides an opportunity for learners to learn and apply academic skills in relation to the workplace and will allow for multi-skilling. The Qualification is structured in such a way that it exposes learners to different kinds of investments with a view to enabling them to make an informed recommendation involving Financial Investments, Wealth Creation and Wealth Management. It is anticipated that this Qualification will promote the notion of life-long learning.

Rationale for the qualification:

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Wealth Management: NQF Level 4 is designed to meet the needs of learners in a variety of positions in the Financial Services industry with a particular focus on learners who could be deemed to give financial advice. It aims to develop informed and skilled learners in Wealth Management, which combines Long Term Insurance, Collective Investments and other aspects of investment and wealth creation and takes a holistic view of Wealth Management. It is intended for learners who
  • Have attained the National Certificate in Insurance: NQF Level 3 and wish to continue on a path of life-long learning specialising in Wealth Management.
  • Were previously disadvantaged or who were unable to complete their schooling and were therefore denied access to Further Education and Training.
  • Are trustees or Principal Officers of Retirement Funds or Medical Schemes.
  • Wish to extend their range of skills and knowledge of the industry so that they can become knowledge workers in the industry.
  • Are contracted in a learnership agreement in the Insurance sub sector.
  • Have not yet acquired the skills and competencies required for learning in Wealth Management at NQF level 5.

    The National Certificate in Wealth Management: Level 4 is a bridging certificate that allows the individual to work towards a nationally recognised qualification. It is flexible enough to accommodate both learners in formal education and learners already employed in the Financial Services Industry. The Qualification at this Level is the start of may lead to specialisation in various sectors of the Financial Services industry. It is generic enough to allow maximum mobility within the industry. The intention is:
  • To promote the development of knowledge and skills that are required in Wealth Management and specifically for giving financial advice.
  • To release the potential of people.
  • To provide opportunities for people to move up the value chain.
  • To provide opportunities for lifelong learning for people who work in Wealth Management.

    The skills, knowledge, values and attitudes reflected in the Qualification are building blocks that can be developed further at Level 5. Learners already employed in Wealth Management at this Level do work that requires fundamental knowledge of the most important areas of wealth management and the applicable legislation, economic principles and knowledge of the Financial Services Industry in general. They are required to interpret information and use their knowledge to propose and substantiate potential financial solutions within the level of their licensing mandate.

    Work roles related to Wealth Management include but are not limited to:
  • Internal Broker Consultants
  • Financial Services Call Centre Agents (Inbound and Outbound)
  • Personal Benefits Agents

  • Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation or community. As the Qualification is intended to be part of a learnership it is unlikely that the learner would work alone.
  • Organise and manage him/herself and his/her activities responsibly and effectively in that it is expected that the learner will be responsible for his/her own learning and for organising his/her own work allocated tasks responsibly in the work environment. She/he is required to complete research assignments timeously and to demonstrate insight into different aspects of Wealth Management.

  • The Wealth Management operating environment is explained as a system within the Financial Services sector and an indication is given of current events that could impact on the sector.
  • Essential methods, procedures and techniques of the Financial Services industry are applied within the legislated environment in order to propose a financial solution.
  • Well-defined problems both routine and unfamiliar within a familiar context are solved in order to propose a financial solution and where necessary applications of a solution are adjusted within relevant parameters to meet the identified needs or changes in the problem or operating context.
  • Information is gathered, analysed and evaluated in order to propose a financial solution or make a financial decision.
  • Financial data is interpreted to identify trends.
  • A Wealth Management solution is presented using technological skills.
  • Information is communicated coherently in writing and verbally in compliance with legislated requirements.

    Integrated assessment:

    Assessment practices must be fair, transparent, valid and reliable and should ensure that no learner is disadvantaged. Learners who wish to be assessed against this standard should direct enquiries to the Insurance Sector Quality Authority, INSQA.

    The focus of assessment must be on the assessment of the learning outcomes rather than learning outputs. The Specific Outcomes guide the learning and training process towards the outcomes on a continuous basis. The purpose is to determine whether the outcomes have been attained. Situations should present a wide range of options. Applications should require significant choices from a wide range of procedures and in a number of contexts.
  • Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably linked. Where appropriate, assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values indicated in the various Unit Standards should be integrated.
  • Assessment has a formative monitoring function. Formative assessment should be used to assess gaps in the learner`s skill and knowledge and to indicate where there is a need for expanded opportunities. The goal is to promote learning and to assess the efficacy of the teaching and learning process. Feedback from assessment informs teaching and learning and allows for the critique of outcomes, methodology and materials. Formative assessment is diagnostic and as such it should guide the learner and the trainer. It is continuous and is used to plan appropriate learning experiences to meet the learner`s needs. It provides information about problems experienced at different stages in the learning process. As it is criterion referenced, if the learner has met the assessment criteria, s/he has achieved the outcomes.
  • Assessment should also have a summative component. Summative assessment may be used on completion of a Unit Standard, but should not be the only form of assessment. A summative assessment of the exit outcomes is required on completion of all the necessary Unit Standards and before a Qualification is awarded.
  • A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Assessment should take place in an authentic context as far as is possible. Where it is not possible to assess competence in the workplace, simulations, case studies and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.
  • Integration implies that theoretical and practical components should, where possible, be assessed together.
  • Integrative techniques should be used to assess applied competence. Learners should be required to demonstrate that they can perform the outcomes with understanding and insight
  • Assessment should ensure that all Specific Outcomes, Embedded Knowledge and Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are evaluated. Assessment of the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of the specific outcomes. The Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are implicit in some Unit Standards and programmes should be designed to extend and further reflect the integration.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    International comparability was undertaken as part of the qualification design and Unit Standard generation process for the registered Long Term, Short Term and Collective Investment qualifications at level 4. As Wealth Management combines all aspects of insurance and investment into a holistic qualification the findings of the original writing teams are relevant to this qualification.

    Writing teams consulted numerous Internet web sites to access Unit Trust Standards and Qualifications from other countries for comparison purposes. No equivalent Qualifications or Unit Standards were found. The following web sites were consulted:
  • British Standards Online www.bsi-global.com
  • Standards Council of Canada www.scc.ca
  • NSSB (National Skills Standards Board - USA) www.nssb.org
  • Financial Services Standards Resources at Business.com www.business.com
  • The Investment Funds Institute of Canada www.ific.ca
  • The Unit Trust Association - England www.investmentfunds.org.uk
  • British Standards Institution www.bsi-global.com

    Long Term Insurance (Life, Group Benefits and Healthcare Benefits) Unit Standards were compared to the NVQs from England and the Australian Insurance Qualifications. No insurance Unit Standards were obtained from New Zealand as there are none registered in that country. The NVQs included broad generic Core and Elective Unit Standards. It was ascertained that these qualifications were similar to the approach taken by South Africa with the exception of the inclusion of Fundamental Unit Standards deemed essential by SAQA.

    Short Term Unit Standards were compared to the NVQs from England and the Australian Insurance Qualifications. No insurance Unit Standards were obtained from New Zealand as there are none registered in that country. The NVQs included broad generic Core and Elective Unit Standards. It was ascertained that these qualifications were similar to the approach taken by South Africa with the exception of the inclusion of Fundamental Unit Standards deemed essential by SAQA.

    The level descriptors in the United Kingdom and Australia were similar to those adopted by SAQA. The format, assessment guidelines and methods of British standards were similar to the South African requirements. In general, British qualifications include four generic Unit Standards and the requirement of three options from an offering of twelve or thirteen core Unit Standards. It was decided to make use of the 1995 and 1996 British NVQs to determine international comparison throughout the process. In general the British philosophy allowed flexibility and it was felt that this approach was applicable to the international insurance industry and more specifically to the South African environment, with its focus on portability within the broader financial services industry. The qualification will therefore, be benchmarked against the British Qualifications.

    The Insurance Unit Standards have been compared to the standards and qualifications mentioned above. They are, in the opinion of the FSSGB, more relevant to the South African situation as the baselines of the British and Australian qualifications are so different it would be difficult to compare them Level to Level. The South African Fundamental Unit Standards for Financial Services Qualifications are relevant to the South African situation.

    Some of the Unit Standards in this Qualification were registered with the Level 4 National Certificate in Risk Management. The international trend is to risk management with insurance as a component. The FSSGB compared the National Certificate in Risk Management: NQF Level 4 to qualifications in risk management in the UK, USA and Australia. The UK, USA and Australia have Higher Education qualifications, but the SGB could not locate an equivalent qualification at an FET non-specialist level.

    A delegation from Inseta visited the UK and Ireland in 2002 with a view to benchmarking the insurance Qualifications registered with SAQA. Both countries indicated that at present they have nothing to compare our South African Qualifications to and would like to benchmark against the South African standard in about two years time.
