PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

The purpose of this qualification is to equip learners with the required knowledge, skills and attitudes to function in a fuel retail environment by providing learners with the underlying principles of all of the major areas related to the Fuel Retail industry, thus enabling them to become effective employees, employers and/or self-employed members of society. The National Certificate in Service Station Operations further aims to provide career paths with associated learnerships through various levels and areas of the Fuel Retail industry and the wider Wholesale and Retail industry thus promoting the notion of quality lifelong learning.

This Certificate provides learners with a solid basis in all areas of fuel retail. This will enable them not only to understand the South African context of this sub sector but also to use this learning in various business environments. It will also assist in changing perceptions on the status and functional levels of service station operators in the work place. This qualification will provide the service station operators with pride, self worth and enhance their morale in their chosen career.

This Certificate will form part of a learning pathway for individuals functioning or aspiring to function within a fuel and/or retail industry. It further forms part of a learning pathway for individuals that intend embarking on fuel retail related qualifications that will span across Levels 2 to Level 5 on the national qualifications framework. This qualification resides on Level 2 on the NQF. It is an entry level qualification for individuals performing forecourt operations and convenience store operations. In respect of the forecourt operations, this qualification is aimed at the Forecourt Attendant, Supervisors and Car Wash Attendant. In respect of the convenience store operations, this qualification is aimed at the Cashier, Merchandiser, Cleaner and Food Handler. Thus there will be a ready progression and articulation within the qualification and across the various operations. Further there will be a ready progression of learning from Level 2 upwards, ultimately culminating in a qualification at NQF Level 5. There will also be articulation between this qualification and related wholesale and retail qualifications as well as food preparation related qualifications.

Qualifying learners will be able to know and do the following:
  • Planning and organizing of own job requirements.
  • Knowledge of legislation regarding safety, health and environment.
  • Problem solving and decision making.
  • Self management and teamwork.
  • Improved communication skills.

    Rationale:

    This qualification is a direct outcome of the revision of the former National Certificate: Service Station Operations NQF Level 2, NLRD ID: 48969 the demand is based on the transformation of the existing qualification into a qualification that meets the needs of the fuel retail industry, supporting the principles of the NQF and providing flexibility of bridging into a supervisory type qualification with a strong customer focus.

    The National Certificate: Service Station Operations, NQF Level 2, is designed to meet the needs of the learners who are already employed at service stations. It further allows access to, and meets the needs and aspirations of youth and the unemployed who wish to pursue a career in service station operations, or in fields where this learning may be useful. This furthermore includes adult learners who want to enter the arena or develop their careers in service station operations or the related sub-fields. Since this Certificate is part of the learning pathway it will allow mobility to persons operating at any level in the field.

    The development of competence in this field will lead to world-class service delivery, company longevity, the promotion of wealth, and job creation. Application of the learning achieved in completing this qualification will also assist employed and unemployed persons to enter other industries where they will be able to apply this learning in a practical context.

    The impact of this Certificate on society and the economy is reflected in the multiple job roles and careers that can stem from the qualification, including self-employment opportunities, job creation opportunities and the development of, or entry to, learners who are employed within the private or public sector. It can further stimulate and support skills development for emerging business owners. The range of learners would include school-leavers, youth, unemployed, emerging fuel retail business owners and those already employed at the appropriate levels desiring learning and growth opportunities, as well as the self-employed.

    The added value of the skills, knowledge and understanding developed by the Certificate will be evidenced by greater productivity resulting from the improved performance by the learner, due to the integration of the learning which will have taken place in the workplace.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Integrated assessment at this level will evaluate the learner's ability to combine actions and ideas across a range of activities and knowledge areas. The integrated assessment must specifically assess the learner's ability to:
  • Demonstrate competence by means of the practical application of the embedded knowledge in a manner that meets the required performance standards required.
  • Illustrate a clear understanding of the concepts, theory and principles that underpin the practical action taken.

    The assessment will require assessment methods, which take evidence generated during on-the job activities into account. Because assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid and reliable; ensuring that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the qualification.

    A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working or will work. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace simulations, case studies, role-plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.

    The term integrated assessment implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. Whenever possible the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the Unit Standards should be integrated and, during integrated assessment, the assessor should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment tools and methods. Combinations of practical, applied, and foundational competencies should be assessed. Assessment should further ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are evaluated in an integrated way.

    Assessors must assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience as the assessment process is capable of being applied to RPL, subject to the rules and criteria of the relevant ETQA. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    This qualification has been benchmarked against international practice in the Fuel Retail industry. However, it needs to be recognised that revised National Certificate: Service Station Operations Level 2 is explicitly placed within the South African context.

    Reference to service station operations unit standards and qualifications were found in the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. Qualification comparability was conducted with these countries as similarities exists between such frameworks and the South African Qualifications Framework. The following international qualification and its associated unit standards closely relates to this revised National Certificate: Service Station Operations Level 2:
  • National Certificate in Motor Industry (Service Station Sales) NQF Ref: 0026.

    Reference to a related service station qualification was made with the Australian Qualifications Authority namely:
  • Certificate II in Automotive Sales Service Station Operation - AUR21105.

    It must be noted that the qualification design for both the New Zealand and Australian related qualifications differs from the qualification design for those qualifications registered on the South African National Qualifications Framework. As such one could not make an easy comparison between the narrow focused Australian and New Zealand qualifications with the broad-based South African based qualification.

    Whilst the South African NQF qualification design makes provision for the Fundamental, Core and Elective learning areas, the New Zealand qualifications makes provision for a compulsory core generic area of learning and an elective area of learning and the Australian qualifications makes provision for a compulsory, inventory and elective area of learning. Whilst the related New Zealand qualification includes a number of communication literacy unit standards within the compulsory core learning areas the Australian qualification makes reference to only one required communication literacy unit standard. Further learning unique to the convenience store, forecourt and car wash areas at a service station are combined and included across the New Zealand and Australian qualification. This design limits learning selection in each specialisation area at a service station.

    Both the New Zealand and Australian qualifications has a strong focus on motor and automotive retail areas of learning rather than generic retail and fuel retail in specific.

    In terms of retail and the automotive learning areas, the New Zealand qualification comprises core generic and elective unit standards where the core generic aspects relates to time management, understanding the automotive industry, carrying out personal workplace requirements, maintaining automotive stock, identifying the location of motor vehicle systems and components, displaying goods, selling products, carrying out forecourt duties, maintaining a safe and secure work environment, mastering the fundamentals of consumer behaviour, interpreting the retail distribution legislation and environment, attending to customers, providing customer service, performing calculations, employing customer service techniques. The electives include automotive administration such as carrying out office functions, determining stock levels, determining warranties and demonstrating the use of automotive products as well as automotive electrical and electronics such as servicing a battery.

    The electives further comprise automotive preventive maintenance and automotive sales where the latter includes dispensing of CNG and LPG whilst automotive electrical and electronics includes selecting and applying lubricants and preparing a vehicle for use and shutdown.

    The Australian qualification is located within the Australian Apprenticeship Services. The compulsory units of competence includes applying safe work practices, establishing customer relations, working effectively with others, communicating effectively in the workplace, applying environmental regulations and best practices in the workplace, selling products, delivering customer service. The learner is then required to complete 8 units of competence from the Sales Inventory and 3 units of competence from the Retail, Service and Repairs training packages. This selection is informed by Descriptors which are used to describe the incumbent's job profile. The Descriptors include Aftermarket Retail Operations, Bicycle, Heavy Vehicle Mobile Equipment, Outdoor Power Equipment, Replacement Parts and Accessories Service Station Operations and Vehicle. The Service Station Descriptors include learning units such as identifying the automotive parts and selecting the products, presenting stock and sales area, carrying out cash/credit/fund transfer transactions, applying legal requirements relating to product sales, using business technology, maintaining workplace safety, applying point of sale handling procedures, minimising theft.

    No evidence of standards-based qualifications in service station operations was found in Japan, Malaysia, or the United States of America.

    Numerous private international service providers offer Forecourt related training but course outlines and curricula were not available for comparison purposes.

    The main difficulty in comparison is that one is not always comparing like with like. This notwithstanding, the technical content of this qualification for service station operations does correspond loosely with the level of highlighted international qualifications in Service Station Operations. International Comparability was completed before during and after the qualification redesign process.
