The qualification fills this gap by providing a focused, practical approach that aligns with industry needs, ensuring learners gain relevant and up-to-date competencies (Sector Skills Plan 2020/21, n.d.). The qualification addresses critical needs identified within the South African industrial and agricultural sectors. The qualification is thus designed to equip learners with practical skills that directly respond to these sectoral requirements. The typical learners include recent high school graduates who wish to pursue a career in human resource management, as well as current employees in related fields seeking professional development and formal recognition of their skills.

    Upon completion, graduates of the Higher Certificate in Human Resource Management qualification can pursue roles such as human resources administrators, compliance officers, sustainability coordinators, and resource planning assistants. These positions are essential in ensuring efficient and sustainable resource utilisation across various sectors, thus contributing to the strategic development of the South African economy (Sector Skills Plan, 2020/21).

    The qualification resides within the NQF Level 5 qualification pathway, providing a foundational entry into the field of resource management. This qualification serves as a stepping stone for further study, allowing graduates to progress vertically into advanced diplomas or bachelor's degree qualifications in Resource Management or related fields. Additionally, it offers diagonal mobility for learners who wish to specialise further in areas such as Environmental Management or Project Management by transferring credits towards other related qualifications. This ensures that graduates not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical skills, making them more competitive in the job market.

    The qualification provides multiple benefits to learners, society, and the economy. For learners, it offers a practical, industry-aligned qualification that enhances employability and provides a pathway for professional growth. By equipping learners with skills in strategic resource planning, sustainable practices, and compliance management, the qualification increases their value to employers, opening opportunities for higher earning potential and career advancement. From a societal and economic perspective, the qualification promotes sustainable resource management, which is crucial for organisations to remain profitable. By training professionals to manage resources responsibly, the qualification supports the provision of qualified graduates in line with the National Skills Development Plan (Department of Higher Education and Training, 2019). By producing skilled graduates capable of enhancing resource efficiency, the qualification supports sector growth, job creation, and overall economic resilience. This detailed rationale demonstrates the necessity of the qualification and aligns it with industry needs, societal benefits, and economic contributions, ensuring it is a valuable addition to the NQF.

    The qualification prepares graduates for entry-level roles within resource management sectors, addressing the need for skilled personnel in industrial, agricultural, and environmental domains. Typical occupations for graduates include positions as follows:
  • Human Resources Administrator
  • Compliance Officers
  • Sustainability Coordinators
  • Resource Planning Assistants

    These roles are crucial in supporting the sustainable and efficient use of resources across various industries, contributing to the national economic agenda. Higher Certificate in Human Resource Management qualification structure enables learners to pursue vertical progression into advanced diplomas or bachelor's degrees in related fields and offers diagonal articulation into specialised qualifications, such as environmental management or project management. This articulation pathway enhances graduates' career mobility and fosters continual professional development within the resource management sector, ensuring they remain competitive and adaptable in an evolving job market. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):

    The institution recognises the important role that the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) plays in ensuring equitable access and participation in Higher Education. In this process, non-formal and/or informal learning is measured, evaluated, and checked for equivalence or parity with the formal qualification entry requirements. The RPL assessment process will focus on ways of evaluating a person's knowledge and skills acquired through lifelong learning experiences (formal, non-formal and informal) against a set of pre-determined criteria.

    RPL Process:
    Learners are required to submit an RPL application, and the institution committee shall meet and provide outcomes regarding all RPL applications that are presented before the committee for decisions and recommendations regarding entry into the qualifications for which prospective RPL candidates have applied. The decisions are communicated by the committee to the relevant stakeholders in the enrolment department. The RPL process focuses on establishing whether the student has acquired competence in the following areas:
  • Basic theoretical knowledge.
  • Practical competence.
  • Reflective competence.
  • Applied competence.

    RPL for access:
    Assess whether a candidate's prior experience and learning meet the entry requirements for the qualification, enabling them to be accepted into the qualification. In contrast, RPL for credits and/or exemptions evaluates if this prior learning can be counted towards specific modules within the qualification, potentially shortening the duration or reducing the coursework required. Essentially, RPL for admission determines eligibility for entry, while RPL for credits and exemptions grants academic credit or module exemptions based on previous learning. All RPL applications are subject to evaluation by the RPL committee. No more than 10% of a cohort will be admitted into the qualification based on RPL. It is assumed that the learning derived from work or life experience will be a major element in the profiles of non-standard entrants primarily by means of a portfolio of evidence. Where appropriate, interviews will also be conducted to assess applicants for selection purposes.

    Awarding of Credits:
    The following standard applies:
    Credits are awarded for individual modules if, in the opinion of the assessors, the applicant has satisfied at least 80% similarity of the outcomes or meets all or most of the outcomes to determine the suitability of being admitted into the qualification. Credit will only be awarded if the applicant passed the module with a 50% or above pass mark with a 12-credit and above. Credits will also be given through Recognition of Prior Learning in accordance with established practice at South African higher education institutions. Assessment for Credit Accumulation Transfer (CAT) is conducted using the portfolio of evidence (PoE) submitted by the applicant. The maximum amount of 'specific' credit granted is 50% and credits may only be accumulated for modules, which are prescribed within the structure of a named award.

    RPL for admission assesses whether a candidate's prior experience and learning meet the entry requirements for a qualification, enabling them to be accepted into the qualification. In contrast, RPL for credits and/or exemptions evaluates if this prior learning can be counted towards specific modules within the qualification, potentially shortening the duration or reducing the coursework required. Essentially, RPL for admission determines eligibility for entry, while RPL for credits and exemptions grants academic credit or module exemptions based on previous learning. All RPL applications are subject to evaluation by the Admissions and Selections Recognition of Prior Learning Committee.

    Integrated Assessment:
    The institution Assessment Strategy has been reviewed and amended according to Council on Higher Education Accreditation Criteria (2012), the National Policy and Criteria for Designing and Implementing Assessment for NQF Qualifications and Part-Qualifications and Professional Designations in South Africa (SAQA, 2014).

    Integrated assessment requires careful consideration in implementing formative and summative assessment methods, which offer an inclusive and holistic view of learners ' learning. Assessments are aligned with the pre-defined learning outcomes per module, culminating with the qualification exit level outcomes. Formative and summative assessments are diverse in nature, and these encompass knowledge check questions, case studies, and scenario-based questions. Formative assessments allow for regular feedback to learners, highlighting areas of success and improvement. Summative assessments evaluate student learning after a student's learning journey. Imperative to integrated assessments is the provisioning of feedback to not only learners but also internally, whereby the results of assessments play a critical role in informing the development of future assessments, assessment practices and the continuous improvement of the qualification.

    Assessments at different NQF Levels:

    The institution has recognised a change in its student profile and, more significantly, in the learning needs of learners, nationally and internationally. Correspondingly, there have been a number of advancements in education technology that better support student success. In pursuit of global relevance and enhanced student success, the institution has taken the decision to participate in this global trend and will initiate the natural progression from distance to online for its qualifications, and to this end, the institution has undertaken a review of its Assessment Strategy. The Assessment Strategy is outlined within the institution's Assessment Policy.

    As such, the following is provided as rationale for the assessments at NQF level 5:
    Qualifications pitched at NQF level 5 are usually one year in duration, and one would assume better throughput rates in qualifications of shorter duration. Internal research undertaken at the institution has evidenced, however, that the higher certificate qualifications have similar and, in some cases, lower throughput rates than those of the degree qualifications. This can be attributed to the entry profile of learners on the NQF level 5 qualifications, the majority of whom are school leavers who did not qualify for degree endorsement. This suggests that these learners require additional support to ensure a reasonable opportunity at success. The institution has therefore introduced a range of knowledge checks and reflective exercises into the NQF level 5 assessments. The core purpose is for the learner to develop and demonstrate an understanding of key concepts, terms, and theories. These knowledge checks grant learners additional opportunities to be assessed and get feedback for continuous improvement and therefore carry a 40% weighting each - ultimately enhancing the learning experience and supporting a philosophy of life-long learning. Exams are stressful and often regurgitation exercises that do not contribute to the philosophy of lifelong learning. As such, the institution has elected to introduce a project component as the summative assessment for the Higher Certificate Qualifications, which contributes 60% of the final assessment weighting and will allow learners to synthesise their experiences and knowledge and apply these to practical scenarios.

    Assessment Type, Method, and Description:
    The assessment method for each module on this qualification is by:
    Formative Assessments.
  • These are online assessments.
  • These assessments are in the form of multiple choice, true/false or a combination of both.

    Summative Assessment:
  • This assessment is in the form of a project and requires calculations and/or application to relevant theory.
    Formative Assessment 40%.
    Summative Assessment 60%.
    To pass a module, the following requirements must be met.
  • The compulsory completion of ALL assessment activities.
  • The sub-minimum requirements as outlined above.
  • A final combined mark of 50%.

    You will be expected to attempt the summative assessment only if the subminimum requirements, as outlined above, have been met. The onus is on you to confirm that you have met the subminimum requirements for the formative assessments prior to attempting the summative assessment. If you have not met the subminimum requirements for the formative assessments, you will be required to re-register for that module. MANCOSA will not be responsible for learners attempting the summative assessment without meeting the formative assessment subminimum requirements.
