PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The purpose of this qualification is to enhance readiness and provide entry into the areas of Systems Development at NQF level 5. It prepares learners for entry into the workplace or as undergraduate study in the Systems Development areas covered, providing them with the necessary knowledge needed for further study in the fields of Information Technology and Computer Sciences at Higher Education level.

The qualification is addressing the need in the workplace for nationally recognised qualifications, based on unit standards, that will allow people with workplace experience in the Systems Development areas covered, to request assessments and get recognition for prior learning.

A qualifying learner will be able to communicate effectively with fellow IT staff & users of information technology, understanding the role of technology in a business context and to be able to address business problems with appropriate information technology solutions. Learners will be able to apply the principles of creating computer software by carrying out, under limited supervision, a task of reasonable size to demonstrate an understanding of the knowledge, techniques & skills needed in one or more area of majoring/specialisation that the qualification offers.

A qualifying learner at this level will be a well-rounded IT professional, building on foundational technical skills acquired at NQF level 4, via the National Certificate in IT Technical Development or equivalent. This qualification is expanding the systems development foundation started at NQF level 4 into specialisation fields within systems development, in one or more of the following disciplines:
  • Procedural Programming.
  • Object Oriented Programming.
  • Fourth Generation Language Programming.
  • Web site development.
  • Multimedia.
  • Electronic Commerce.

    The qualification is designed to:
  • Provide qualified learners with an undergraduate entry into the fields of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Computer Sciences, specialising in the Systems Development area
  • Prepare qualified learners for initial employment into the ICT and related industries. Qualified learners will have a solid understanding of computer industry concepts and to able to work in areas of Systems Development with intermediate technical complexity.
  • Allow the credits achieved in National Certificates relating to Information Technology at NQF level 4 to be used as prior learning for this qualification, where applicable.
  • Allow people with workplace experience in the Systems Development areas covered, to request assessments and get recognition for prior learning.
  • Allow the qualification to be acquired in the traditional way of formal study as well as in the workplace, through Learnerships Schemes or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
  • Assist with professionalisation across the Information Technology Sector. It is intended to allow qualified learners to gain membership of registered professional bodies in the ICT industry.

    Rationale of the qualification

    Similar to the National Certificates in IT at NQF level 4, this qualification has been formulated such that it reflects the workplace-based needs of the Information Technology Industry as expressed by its stakeholders. The input has been used to ensure that the qualification provides the learner with accessibility to be employed within the IT Industry. The qualification may be acquired in the traditional way of formal study as well as in the workplace, either through learnerships or by recognition of prior learning (RPL).

    Academically this National Certificate is intended to be an entry-level qualification, at the Higher Education band, in the area of Systems Development. The qualification builds on from the National Certificate in Information Technology: Systems Development at NQF level 4, and it also facilitates entry into the Systems Development field from other related fields. It aims to enhance readiness for further study in Information Technology and related fields at the Higher Education level, as well as providing for initial employment in the computer industry.

    One of the most important needs for this qualification is to provide for RPL. There are currently no unit standards based registered qualifications for Software Development at the higher education level. However, computer programs are written, installed, maintained and upgraded on a daily basis in a number of different industry sectors. Many areas of training in this field if currently not provided against nationally recognised standards, which this qualification will be addressing.

    The qualification may be acquired in the traditional way of formal study as well as in the workplace, through learnerships or RPL. Acquiring the qualification through learnerships or RPL, has the potential of addressing the problems of the past, where newly qualified people getting into the industry struggled to get employment, because they were required to have practical experience. People with workplace experience in the areas covered by this qualification will now also be allowed to request assessment and get recognition for prior learning.

    The qualification provides the learner with the flexibility to articulate in the IT environment with a wide variety of specialisation options and to articulate within the Telecommunications, Information Technology and Electronic Industries and other industries where IT is a key component, like the Financial Services or Insurance Industries. 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    It is assumed that the learner must be competent in skills gained at the further education and training band, with Computer Studies as an advantage, but not a requirement. A learning assumption of this qualification is foundational skills in communication and mathematical literacy as required by NQF level 4 qualifications. Further learning assumed is the ability to use a personal computer competently.

    The assumed learning can be acquired in the traditional way of formal study as well as in the workplace. Acquiring the competencies in a workplace (either via formal skills programmes or normal on-the-job training) has the potential of addressing the problems of the past, where formal qualifications were only obtainable by way of formal study.

    Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
    This qualification may be achieved through the recognition of prior learning, which includes formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.
    Achieving unit standards through RPL

    Any learner wishing to be assessed to achieve credits in respect of any or all of the unit standards specified in this qualification may arrange to do so without having to attend further education or training.
    Achieving the qualification through RPL

    To achieve the qualification through RPL, the learner must submit him/herself to be assessed against the integrated assessment criteria of this qualification.

    REREGISTRATION HISTORY 
    As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this qualification was Reregistered in 2012; 2015. 

    NOTES 
    This section contains additional information to support the implementation of this qualification. It suggests the ways in which the learning assumed to be in place could by acquired as well as different ways in which learnerships (that will lead to this qualification) could be implemented.

    A. Additional notes on learning assumed to be in place for this qualification
    This qualification has been designed with the assumption that the necessary foundational skills have been acquired at NQF level 4. If a learner has not acquired these skills, they will struggle with some of the concepts of the unit standards covered by this qualification.
    This qualification has been designed with the assumption that the necessary foundational skills have been acquired at NQF level 4. If a learner has not acquired these skills, they will struggle with some of the concepts of the unit standards covered by this qualification.
    Although these foundational skill are in many cases stated as a requirement by stakeholders, to make learners more employable, such unit standards could not be included as part of this qualification, as it will lower the standard of the qualification. Because Computer Studies is currently not a compulsory subject in schools, it could also not be assumed that every school leaver will have the necessary fundamental IT skills required for this qualification.
    It is therefor very important to assist learners to be able to acquire the knowledge that are assumed to be in place for the unit standards attempted in this qualification. Depending on the specialisation stream some additional assumed knowledge might need to be acquired.

    Examples of such unit standards are the following:
  • Investigate the use of computer technology in an organisation.
  • Describe types of computer systems and associated hardware configurations.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of developing software for the internet.
  • Explain the principles of computer networks.
  • Explain how data is stored on computers.
  • Describe the difference between programming in Object Oriented and Procedural Languages.
  • Design a computer program according to given specifications.
  • Explain Computer Architecture Concepts.
  • Apply the principles of computer programming.

    The following methods are suggested ways of acquiring the necessary competencies, to the level required for this qualification:
    1. Specific "bridging" programmes (short courses) could be used, which could already exist or need to be built.
    2. Specific "bridging" programmes could be built into the learnerships that will lead to this qualification, as skills programmes, that will ensure these competencies are achieved
    3. The National Certificate in Systems Development at NQF level 4 could be completed.

    B. Additional notes as ETQA guidelines for learnership implementation of this qualification.
    This qualification has been designed to accommodate various learnerships in the area of Systems Development. The intention is that different learnerships will be used to cover the different specialisation streams of the qualification, to cover a specific need that arises in the industry. In other words, the intention is that multiple learnerships will be used to lead to this one national qualification. Learnership titles should reflect the necessary specialisation(s) chosen within the qualification, to allow the industry to experience the value of the new unit standard based qualifications, as addressing specific needs highlighted as part of the research in the industry. This is crucial in addressing the perception in the industry that national qualifications are not addressing the workplace needs.

    In addition, as mentioned in the previous section, learnerships are ideal vehicles for ensuring learning assumed to be in place are covered as part of the learnership. Learnerships will often cover more than national qualifications, to address the specific needs that the learnerhip in trying to address. This could result in learnership-delivery of national qualification being the route that industry prefer, for acquiring national qualifications.

    C. Additional notes regarding articulation to this qualification
    It is important to note that although this qualification was designed as part of a broad IT qualifications framework, articulation to this qualification might need additional study in the learning assumed to be in place. It is suggested that additional learning assumed to be in place be acquired in ways explained above, to ensure learners are properly equipped for the area of specialisation chosen. Although the qualification was developed with articulation in mind, the size of the ICT industry results in areas of specialisation that acquire very specialised skills, which cannot be covered adequately in all qualifications. Learners attempting this qualification and/or training providers planning to deliver this qualification (or some of its unit standards) need to pay attention to this fact when articulating into this area.
