Recommendations and Exemplars for the design of:

Learning / Curriculum

Learning should include involvement in the weigh and batching process on a daily basis.

The learner should be able to check for deviations from procedures and follow all reporting procedures for variances/ discrepancies.

The learner should familiarise him/ her self with the Gaming, provincial, company procedure for the weigh and batching process.

Performance systems
Ongoing measurement of the learner's ability to meet this standard is recommended.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
