PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
Purpose:
This qualification is for those who are qualified at Certificate, Diploma or Degree level within the Higher Education and Training (HET) band in an academic or occupational area, and wish to act in a variety of Education, Training and Development (ETD) related roles at a high level. This Certificate will enable a person to achieve recognition for Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development (ODETD) competencies at a high level without needing to acquire a Degree in ETD. The Certificate includes competencies across all the ETD roles, with the opportunity to specialise at a high level in two or more of the following roles: Depending on areas of specialisation selected, recipients of this Qualification will be able to: Rationale: Education, Training and Development (ETD) is a priority area within the South African context and is supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. In order to meet the ETD requirements of the workplace, within the context of a quality assured environment and processes, it is important to be able to identify and recognise competent ETD practitioners at various levels. Workplace education, training and development are carried out to a large degree by people who have the requisite skills in their subject area, but little or no formal qualifications in ETD. With the need for and emphasis on quality ETD, it becomes critical to have a means to develop and recognise ETD competencies at a high level. Many candidates for this qualification will not have the time or the inclination to undertake an Bachelor Degree: ODETDP at level 6, but will want recognition for the essential competencies required at levels 5, 6 and 7 as represented by this qualification. ODETD stakeholders have indicated that this particular qualification will fill a vital gap within the ODETD field, serving a similar need to the Post Graduate Certificates and Diplomas in Education. This qualification will also be very useful for Further Education and Training (FET) College lecturers who may not have formal ETD qualifications, as well as for high level Skills Development Facilitators. This qualification will provide a means to give recognition to experienced ODETD practitioners, thus making it possible for practitioners to increase their employment prospects, and at the same time provide a means whereby organisations can appoint experienced practitioners in line with proven ETD competencies at a high level. Candidates for this qualification will typically add to their non-ETD qualifications to obtain the NC: ODETD level 6. Some holders of the NC: ODETD level 5 may choose to move on to the NC: ODETD level 6. Some holders of the NC: ODETD level 6 may choose to expand their learning so as to obtain the Bachelor Degree: ODETD level 6, or move into formal education. |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
It is assumed that practitioners have expertise in the subject/occupation field in which they intend to provide education, training and development, at a level required to engage meaningfully in ETD within that field, and have a Certificate or Diploma at least at level 5.
Further learning assumptions are specified within the associated unit standards where required. Recognition of prior learning: This qualification can be achieved wholly or in part through recognition of prior learning in terms of the defined exit level outcomes and/or individual unit standards. Evidence can be presented in various ways, including international and/or previous local qualifications, products, reports, testimonials mentioning functions performed, work records, portfolios, videos of practice and performance records. All such evidence will be judged in accordance with the general principles of assessment and the requirements for integrated assessment. Access to the qualification: National Certificate or Diploma at Level 5 in any field of learning other than ETD. |

QUALIFICATION RULES |
Fundamental:
Core: Elective: Learners who choose to specialise in Sign Language must complete from the following list of Unit Standards totalling a minimum of 23 credits: ID Number; Title; Level; Credits: If learners choose to, it is preferred that the learners achieve the replacement Unit Standard ID 263978 or ID 263982 rather than ID 114926 or ID 116810. |
EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES |
1. Analyse needs and plan and design learning.
2. Facilitate learning in routine and complex situations. 3. Engage in and promote assessment practices. 4. Facilitate and manage skills development in an organisation. 5. Define and evaluate standards. 6. Evaluate Human Resource Development interventions. Critical Cross-Field Outcomes: This qualification addresses the following critical cross-field outcomes: Learning programmes directed towards this qualification will also contribute to the full personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of the society at large, by making individuals aware of the importance of: |
ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
The purpose of the qualification is achieved via demonstration of competence in terms of the exit level outcomes, which in turn are a function of the associated unit standards. The unit standards associated with each exit level outcome form a coherent cluster, thus facilitating integrated assessment. The manner in which the unit standards have been clustered is outlined in the section on integrated assessment. Assessment criteria are provided for each exit level outcome mainly to address the need for evidence of integration of competencies.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Integrated assessment: Evidence of integration will be gained by designing and conducting assessments that ensure the unit standards are assessed in clusters linked to each exit level outcome as identified below. Assessors are to be guided by the detailed specifications indicated in each of the identified unit standards, and further guided by the assessment criteria specified for each exit level outcome, all within the context of an active ETD environment, dealing with divergent and random demands related to ETD. Assessors should note that evidence of integration may be presented by learners when being assessed against the unit standards - thus there should not necessarily be separate assessments for each unit standard and then further assessment for integration at exit level outcome level. Well designed assessments, including formative and summative, should make it possible to gain evidence against the requirements of each unit standard while at the same time gaining evidence of integration at exit level outcome level. For the purposes of integration, assessment should be guided by the following relationships between each exit level outcome and the associated unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 1: Analyse needs and plan and design learning Fundamental unit standard: Core unit standards: Elective unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 2: Facilitate learning in routine and complex situations Core unit standards: Elective unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 3: Engage in and promote assessment practices Core unit standards: Elective unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 4: Facilitate and manage skills development in an organisation Core unit standards: Elective unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 5: Define and evaluate standards Core unit standards: Elective unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 6: Evaluate HRD interventions Core unit standards: Elective unit standards: Assessment should be in accordance with the following general and specific principles: > Use appropriate, fair and manageable methods that are integrated into real work-related or learning situations. > Judge evidence on the basis of its validity, currency, authenticity and sufficiency. > Ensure assessment processes are systematic, open and consistent. |
INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
Qualifications and/or programmes from Singapore, the United Kingdom, United States of America, Australia and New Zealand were compared based on proven best practice within the field of Education and Training. The findings regarding comparisons are as follows:
Singapore: The NC: ODETDP, Level 6 was compared to the Singapore Training and Development Association Master of Education and Training. Although some components of the Singapore qualification are at a higher level, particularly the research components, the key roles and competencies of ETD practitioners are comparable. USA: The NC: ODETDP, Level 6 was compared to the Texas University Corpus Christi MSc Occupational Training and Development. As with the Singaporean qualification, some components are at a higher level, particularly the research components, but the key roles and competencies of ETD practitioners compare favourably. The NC: ODETDP, Level 6 compares most favourably however with Graduate certificates. Australia: A close correlation was found between the NC: ODETDP, Level 6 and the Southern Cross University Graduate Diploma in HR and Organisational Development, and the University of New England School of Professional Development and Leadership's Bachelor of Adult Education, with similar entry requirements and similarities in the curriculum: United Kingdom: There is a close match between the roles and competencies identified in the NC: ODETDP, Level 6 the Salford University Post Graduate Certificate in People and Organisational Development, the University of Wales, Newport Certificate: Post Compulsory Education and Training. New Zealand: A search for comparable NZ qualifications suggested that there is a reasonably close match with the NZQA National Certificate in Adult Education and Training (Level 5). Summary of findings: There are a significant number of international qualifications at graduate or post graduate level that compare very closely in purpose and content with the NC: ODETDP, Level 6. The comparisons confirm the need for a qualification that is pitched at a high level, but without the need to commit to extended studies of the degree type. |
