PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose of the Qualification:

The purpose of this qualification is to ensure competent performance in railway track construction and maintenance, thereby enhancing safety and reliability in the field of Civil Engineering Construction and Maintenance. It will also facilitate increased access of learners to this field.
For those who have been in the workplace for a long time, this Qualification can be used to assess and recognise workplace skills acquired without the benefit of formal education and training.
This Qualification describes the learning outcomes required to effectively participate in a structured workplace.
For education and training providers, this Qualification provides guidance for the development of appropriate learning programmes and assessment documentation.
For employers, this Qualification enables skills gaps to be identified and addressed ensuring that productivity levels are increased and business objectives achieved.
The primary skills that are recognised in this Qualification relate to the construction of railway lines and turnouts, as well as the maintenance of the railway track.
The Qualification will lay a foundation for future career advancement to supervisory and management Qualifications within this field.

Rationale for the Qualification:

This Qualification is for those persons who are involved in activities relating to the construction and/or maintenance of railway track. Such activities can be performed in any of the following contexts:

Public Rail Transport, including Freight and Passenger Transport
Private Sidings
Mining operations
Port operations

The combination of learning outcomes in this Qualification will provide the learner with applied competence with regard to Rail Construction and Maintenance activities. This Qualification recognises skills, knowledge and values relevant to the workplace. It is suitable for learners who:
  • Have attended courses and then apply the knowledge gained to activities in the workplace.
  • Are already employed and have acquired the skills and knowledge without attending formal courses.
  • Participate in skills programmes or learnerships and the appropriate work experience.
  • Acquire the learning through any combination of the above.

    The demand for the Qualification stems from the following factors:
  • The growing need to qualify learners who can contribute to the creation and maintenance of a national rail transport network, which is affordable, reliable, available and safe.
  • Unique environmental circumstances in South Africa, including extreme climatic conditions, which necessitate the continuous maintenance of the rail network.
  • The continuous introduction of new technologies in the Rail Construction and Maintenance environment.
  • The importance of Rail Transport as one of the key transportation modes in the country.

    The learning pathway for a learner within the Rail Construction and Maintenance Industry is outlined below:
  • NQF Level 2:

    "National Certificate: Rail Construction and Maintenance" (Generic Qualification, with specialization in Rail Construction/Maintenance).

    NQF Level 3:

    "National Certificate: Rail Construction and Maintenance".

    NQF Level 4:

    "FETC: Supervision of Construction Activities: Rail Construction and Maintenance" (Generic Qualification, specialization in Rail Construction/Maintenance).

    NQF Level 5:

    "National Certificate: Management of Construction Activities: Rail Construction and Maintenance" (Generic Qualification, with specialization in Rail Construction/Maintenance).

    As a contribution to socio-economic transformation, learners will be able to undergo RPL-assessment, thereby receiving recognition for previous learning and experience. The employability and career prospects of learners holding this Qualification will be enhanced.

    Benefits to the economy would include improved employment prospects for previously unskilled persons.

    The availability of a safe, reliable and affordable Rail network will have a major impact on the economy of the country.

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    It is assumed that learners are already competent in the following:
  • Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 2
  • Communication at NQF Level 2

    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    The Qualification may be obtained through the process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Learners who have met the requirements of any Unit Standard in this Qualification may apply to the relevant Education and Training Quality Assurance Body (ETQA) for Recognition of Prior Learning and will be assessed against the assessment criteria and specific outcomes for the relevant Unit Standard/s. ETQA bodies are responsible for facilitating the implementation of the RPL, and must register trained assessors against specific Unit Standards. Learners are prepared for assessment and assessed against the Unit Standard by such registered assessors. Learners declared competent against a specific Unit Standard will receive ETQA certificates indicating their achievements and this information will also be recorded on the National Learner Record Database (NLRD).

    Access to the Qualification:

    Access to this qualification is open to all learners, bearing in mind the learning assumed to be in place detailed in this qualification.

    However learners within the public rail sector have to complete the Unit Standards listed in the table below, prior to being granted access to this Qualification. These Unit Standards deal with "train working rules". This prerequisite is in accordance with the safety requirements of the Rail Regulator for public rail transport. Advances in track maintenance technology and associated requirements have increased the need for learners in the public rail sector to achieve all these "train working rules".

    This access requirement does not apply to learners within the Private rail transport sector.

    Unit Standards relating to "train working rules" are the following:
  • 14594 - Utilise semaphore signals/indicators for rail movement on double lines
  • 14607 - Utilise semaphore signals/indicators for rail movement on single lines
  • 14611 - Utilise colour-light signalling for rail movement
  • 14621 - Perform crossing of trains
  • 14608 - Utilise pilot working of train control for safe movement on rail
  • 14622 - Utilise telegraph order system for safe movement on rail
  • 14668 - Utilise the radio train order system of train control for safe movement on rail
  • 14671 - Utilise track warrant system of train control for safe movement on rail
  • 14637 - Utilise Van Schoor method of train control for safe movement on rail
  • 14634 - Utilise various fixed and temporary trackside indicators for rail movement
  • 14670 - Utilise wooden train staff system of train control for safe movement on rail

    6.
  • Horizontal and vertical clearances, safety devices and markers are maintained in accordance with relevant specifications.

    Integrated assessment:

    Because assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the Qualification.

    Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably lined. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated.

    Assessment of the communication, mathematical literacy should be conducted in conjunction with other aspects and should use authentic Rail Construction contexts wherever possible.

    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. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies, role-plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.

    The term 'Integrated Assessment' implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.

    Assessors and moderators should make 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.

    Assessment should ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and Critical Cross-Field outcomes are evaluated. The assessment of the Critical Cross-Field outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of specific outcomes and embedded knowledge.
