PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This qualification will prepare learners to function independently on water or wastewater treatment works. A person acquiring this qualification will be able to operate and control specific processes at a water or wastewater treatment works within the context of legislation and work policies and procedures. This qualification is aimed at people who are expected to make decisions relating to the amount of chemicals dosed, volumes of water treated and pumped. The qualification will provide learners with knowledge and skills to be able to lead a small team or group on a plant as well as to conduct administrative tasks in order to meet organizational objectives.

This qualification forms the foundation for progression and to higher-level qualifications within the water sector as fundamental learning such as mathematical literacy, communication, computer skills and first line supervisory skills are included in the qualification. This qualification focuses on the full development of the learner and further mobility and transportability within the water sector. This qualification will provide learners with key competencies in interpersonal communications skills, measurement skills and quality management skills at a lower level including required at this level.

This qualification will expand the skills base of the qualifying learner and make the person more effective in his/her tasks and more employable and will open up job opportunities in related fields. This qualification will enhance productivity within the water sector and contribute towards the ecological sustainability and improvement of the water environment.

Rationale:

This qualification reflects the workplace-based needs of water and wastewater treatment process for the advancement of the operators in terms of skills and knowledge within the sector. Currently there is no registered qualification on the NQF that bridges the knowledge and skills gap required to fulfill supervisory role on a plant at a lower level between Levels 2 and 4 registered qualifications.

This qualification provides the learner with a career path and progression from water and wastewater process operations to water and wastewater process control within the water sector. The National Certificate in Water and Wastewater Process Operations (Level 2) equips the candidate to operate certain sections on water or wastewater treatment works, whereas the National Certificate in Water and Wastewater Process Control pegged at NQF Level 3 will prepare the candidate to operate more independently on the plant.

The qualification also provides the flexibility to pursue different careers in fields related to the water sector. The level of flexibility within the range of electives will allow the individual to follow a career in a range of water or wastewater operations including careers other related sectors such as pollution control, wet industries, electricity generation, environmental qualifications.

    Associated Unit Standard:
  • ID 254123: Demonstrate knowledge of SI measurement units used in water and wastewater treatment.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Integrated assessment at the level of qualification provides an opportunity for learners to show that they are able to integrate concepts, ideas and actions across unit standards to achieve competence that is grounded and coherent in relation to the purpose of the qualification. Integrated assessment should show how already demonstrated competence in individual areas can be linked and applied for the achievement of a holistic outcome.

    Integrated assessment must judge the quality of the observable performance, and also the quality of the thinking that lies behind it. Assessment tools must encourage learners to give an account of the thinking and decision-making that underpin their demonstrated performance. Some assessment practices will demand practical evidence while others may be more theoretical, depending on the type of outcomes to be assessed, and the nature and level of the qualification. The ratio between action and interpretation is not fixed, but varies according to the demands of the qualification.

    While the generic component (literacy, communication and life skills) of this qualification at NQF Level 3 can be assessed through occupational contexts and activities relating to water and wastewater treatment, care must be taken in both the learning programme and the assessment to ensure that these foundational skills are truly portable. The primary aim of this qualification is to ensure that learners have a sound base of general education to prepare them for further learning, whatever career path they may choose. Learners must be able to transfer generic skills such as language, computation and learning skills etc across a number of different contexts, and apply them within a number of learning areas.

    A broad range of task-orientated and theoretical assessment tools may be used, with the distinction between practical knowledge and disciplinary knowledge maintained so that each takes its rightful place. 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.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    This qualification and component unit standards have been compared with similar qualifications including short courses and/or training programmes from various countries which include, Australia, New Zealand, France and United Kingdom. Other countries searched include Scotland, United States of America and Canada. The countries were chosen specifically on their bases of their approach in water and wastewater treatment processes or control processes to produce clean water that is essential for good health and safe to drink, treat wastewater both from domestic and industrial so that it is safe to return to the environment. Best practices have been considered in relation to education and training in water and wastewater related qualifications/courses in the study. Another reason for the choice of the countries was to find out as close as possible, countries whose water and wastewater process control systems including climate conditions are similar to the South African context. New Zealand was the mostly preferred country as their water and wastewater treatment processes are very similar to South Africa. Given the fact that the qualification is more focused on water and wastewater plant operators at NQF Level 3, qualifications and the relevant awarding bodies accredited to provide a wide range of academic and vocational qualifications including short courses in this field were searched.

    In examining the topics covered in these courses.

    United States of America (USA):

    In the USA, programmes focus primarily on higher levels than this level, for example, technicians and engineers hence there are no qualifications and standards developed at this level. Nonetheless, there were few short courses found that are offered for Water and Wastewater Operators at entry levels but rather for the different categories of classes.

    Rocky Mountain Water and Wastewater Plant Operators Fundamentals School:

    The school provides a course intended for those new plant operators to provide them with information needed to better understand water and wastewater treatment and to perform their duties effectively and efficiently. The course is designed to furnish concepts of how treatment processes work and the requirements of government regulations. The South African qualification also provides learners with knowledge of legislative requirements and regulations in relation to standards to provide the safest drinking water quality.

    The course topics include:
  • Intermediate Water.
  • Intermediate Wastewater.
  • Activated sludge.

    Penn Foster Workforce Development:

    Penn Foster is a career school that provides programmes aimed at improving job performance. It provides the Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator curriculum that provides learners with fundamental knowledge of sewage treatment, sludge processing, various sampling procedures and methods used to obtain the sample for the physical test of wastewater, various types of equipment to test, treat and process raw water, methods of wastewater generation, collection and transportation.

  • Activated sludge.
  • Sludge digestion and handling.
  • Effluent disposal.
  • Plant maintenance safety and housekeeping.
  • Laboratory procedures.

    SADC Region:

    In an attempt to do a comparison with the SADC region and emerging economies, searches have been conducted in the following international accrediting bodies.

    Regrettably there were no specific qualifications that could be compared with this qualification in the sense that most of the countries searched had limited information on qualifications developed so far, and it has been discovered that some bodies providing accreditation do not use unit standards for accreditation.

    Mauritius:

    A search was conducted on the Mauritius Qualifications Authority to establish qualifications related to water at this level. It has been discovered that Mauritius so far has developed qualifications in the following fields; Information and Communication Technology; Printing; Tourism and Hospitality Management; Jewellery; Building Construction and Civil Works; Adult Literacy and Health and Social Care. Unfortunately none of these related to this qualification. However, there is only one unit standard that are contained in this qualification in the Elective component that compare with this qualification:
  • Provide First Aid, ID: hs/01/0006/02.

    Further searches have been conducted in countries such as Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Botswana, regrettably there were no qualifications found that could be compared with the South African qualification at this level.

    Conclusion concerning comparability:

    The search has indicated that the South African qualification compares well in that a substantial degree of similarity was found in the most of the qualifications examined in terms of the occupational profiles and training standards. Generally, the Australian and New Zealand qualifications have been found to be more comparable in terms of the elements of the unit standards when cross-referencing was done against the South African unit standards.
