This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

Learners who are assessed as competent against this unit standard will be able to organize and control the construction of concrete pave wearing courses.

This competence forms part of the Elective learning and represents a specific context of supervision, i.e. the organising and controlling the construction of concrete pave wearing courses in a civil engineering construction context

It contributes to the development of a professional community of Civil Engineering Construction Supervisors. The contribution to The National Skills Development Strategy is the key developmental interface between learners and new competencies to be achieved.

Its contribution to socio-economic transformation is that learners would be able to undergo RPL-assessment and thereby receive recognition for previous learning and experience. The employability and career prospects of learners can therefore be enhanced by this qualification.
