In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

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 supervise the rehabilitation of roads using a milling machine.

This competence forms part of the Elective learning and represents a specific context of supervision, i.e. the organising and controlling of road rehabilitation by milling in a civil engineering construction context.

It contributes to the development of a professional community of Civil Engineering Road 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. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
ABET Level 4 Literacy and Numeracy competencies. 

UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
  • Worksite procedures include but are not limited to manufacturer's procedures, operator's manuals and site operational requirements.
