PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

Purpose: The purpose of this qualification will be to equip learners to undertake the secretarial, administrative and management functions of an office. Qualifying learners will have acquired competence in the areas of office procedures and administration, business computing, communication, computer literacy, business management, marketing, word processing and presentations. The qualification provides a theoretical framework for functioning in any business environment and provides essential skills that will complement a number of alternative career choices. Learners acquiring the qualification will demonstrate competence at NQF 5 in the area of secretarial services and will learn towards a range of fundamental and core components leading to the qualification. Rationale: The qualification is designed to provide a solid foundation for learners pursuing a secretarial career and who wish to acquire back-up skills to complement an alternative career choice. Secretarial services include office administration and management, letter and report writing, personnel administration, computer operations, business communication, basic accounting, data capturing, storage and retrieval, preparing presentations and basic desktop publishing. Acquiring a Certificate in Executive Secretarial Studies enables the qualifying learner to demonstrate competence to organisations in these areas of activity. Organisations also need the qualification as a benchmark to gauge the competence of people in the organisation against those of their local and international competitors. Learners need the qualification to increase their access to employment. Providers of education and training in the field require the qualification to facilitate articulation between institutions. The generic learning offerings in the curriculum ensure a high degree of portability and enable learners to enter multiple job roles and careers in their quest to meet individual and organisational requirements. Some career paths linked to the qualification include: executive secretary, office administrator, personal assistant and office manager.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

It is assumed that learners have English and communication skills at one level below that required for the fundamental components of the qualification. Recognition of Prior Learning: The structure of the qualification makes provision for the recognition of prior learning if the learner is able to provide evidence of competence in the knowledge, skills and abilities implicit in the exit-level outcomes and associated assessment criteria. Generally, the recognition of prior learning allows for the gaining of credits for particular modules leading towards the award of the qualification. Recognition of prior learning will be achieved through the evaluation of a portfolio of evidence and an interview with the applicant through the RPL process as articulated by the institution in the context of the relevant legislation and requirements of the Higher Education Quality Committee.
