PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This qualification will provide the broad knowledge, skills and values needed for learners who wish to pursue a career in the road traffic law enforcement field. Learners achieving this Qualification will be deployable on the country's rural and urban roads either as provincial or metro traffic law enforcement officers.

Learners will be provided with the theoretical knowledge and the practical competencies to be able to enforce road traffic law on South African roads. This Qualification contains competencies in road traffic law enforcement ethics, the legislative framework for traffic law enforcement, road-side traffic law enforcement, attending to road emergencies and the protection of oneself and the public. Further, learners will be able to specialise in the use of different types of firearms, extend their learning pertaining to specific road traffic law enforcement legislation, advance their driving competencies and/or assess learner drivers and/or vehicles.

The learner achieving this Qualification will be able to:
  • Apply knowledge of the ethical framework within which the traffic officer operates.
  • Apply the legal and regulatory framework that governs the traffic officer's duties and activities.
  • Manage traffic in various contexts.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of health and safety requirements within the ambit of a traffic law enforcement officer.
  • Demonstrate physical defensive and restraining techniques.
  • Operate equipment used by a traffic officer.

    Rationale:

    Road traffic law enforcement constitutes one aspect in a series of essential services currently being rendered on rural and urban roads. As traffic volumes increase significantly year on year, South Africa becomes a sought after tourist destination and the 2010 Soccer World Cup approaches, the demand for this essential service is envisaged to grow astronomically. It will be in the interest of the country to ensure that traffic law enforcement officials are trained adequately in order to improve safety and efficiency on South African roads. Safety and efficiency on the countries roads is one of the factors which leads to an improved and dependable road transport system thus benefiting society and the economy.

    This qualification is intended to meet the needs of the road traffic law enforcement sector by standardising the training of traffic law enforcement officials throughout South Africa and providing an entry point for learners interested in a career in road traffic law enforcement.

    Learners typically completing this Qualification would be young adult school/university leavers recruited by the various provincial agencies who would attend the learning program based on this Qualification at one of the various traffic colleges situated throughout the country as an entry point into the sector.

    Once this Qualification has been completed, learners will be able to pursue the National Certificate: Policing, NQF Level 5 and/or the National Certificate: Generic Management, NQF Level 5. The latter qualification will make it possible for the learner to become a manager within the road traffic management sector.

    This Qualification supports the objectives of the NQF in that it gives the learner access to a registered qualification. It will ensure that the quality of education and training in the sub-field is enhanced and of a world-class standard. The qualification will allow learners not only to develop their knowledge and skills in the field of road traffic law enforcement, but will also enable them to benchmark their competence against international standards.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Because assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the Qualification. Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably linked. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated.

    Assessment of the communication, language, literacy and numeracy should be conducted in conjunction with other aspects and should use authentic selling and specific economic sector contexts wherever possible.

    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. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, 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. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.

    Assessors and moderators should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.

    Assessment should ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are assessed. The assessment of the critical cross-field outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of specific outcomes and embedded knowledge.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Best Practice:

    Many countries have been surveyed to generate this international comparability. The United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada are known to have highly sophisticated traffic law enforcement agencies considering the human and financial resources at their disposal. Other European countries like Germany and Sweden were also considered but the United Kingdom qualification encapsulated many of their programme competencies.

    United Kingdom:

    The Highways Agency, which is mandated by the United Kingdom Government, has introduced the Certificate in Traffic Management for Traffic Officers and Supervisors. This provides them with the opportunity to achieve a vocational qualification while undertaking their job. Achieving this qualification begins with the Foundation Course. Following successful completion, the learner will start working with operational teams and work towards achieving the Certificate in Traffic Management using experiences in the job as evidence for their file. The Certificate in Traffic Management is accredited by City and Guilds.

    The Foundation Course, which is at the same level as this Qualification, provides learners with a solid grounding in the skills required to carry out their role. The duration of this course varies depending on the future role of the learner; up to 6 weeks for on-road and up to 4 weeks for control room staff. The intensive programme is designed to give learners exposure to managing incidents, dealing with customers and the media, patrolling and closing the network and the full range of activities that they will experience on the job. Further training takes place in the range of activities needed for using specialist equipment from the patrol vehicles and managing incidents. Early in the training learners meet the Police and other emergency services whom they will work alongside when managing incidents on the network.

    Conclusion: The Foundation Course of the Certificate in Traffic Management is very similar to this Qualification in all aspects except the training of control room staff.

    United States of America:

    In the United States police officials are required to enforce road traffic law. For this purpose training is carried out by many police colleges. Any other road traffic law enforcement is carried out by the respective State highway patrols. There is no however no national qualification or training programme.

    The training offered to these officers has the following commonalities. In their curriculum and most Field Training Officer programs, recruits are given the knowledge on traffic enforcement, vehicle positioning, initial officer approach, interview area and position for citation completion and radio checks. Traffic enforcement is also stressed as one of the most dangerous tasks that police officers will perform. Training in the use of firearms is a core function of the traffic law enforcement officer.

    The programme consists of a basic introduction which is 6 weeks, depending on the states training programme. Then this is followed by a 4 week field-training program.

    The Ohio Peace Officer Training Curriculum includes a substantial amount of traffic officer training described below. The aspects highlighted resonate with some of the competencies in this qualification. Details of the highlighted aspects are then given below:
  • Administration.
  • Legal.
  • Human Relations.
  • Firearms.
  • Driving.
  • Subject Control.
  • First Aid.
  • Patrol.
  • Civil Disorders.
  • Traffic Regulations and Enforcement.
  • Investigation.
  • Physical Conditioning.
  • Homeland Security.

    The Stanley Community College offers the Traffic Officer Certificate Program to traffic officers. The contents of this Certificate are as follows:
  • Radar or Time Distance Operator.
  • Standardized Field Sobriety Testing.
  • Arrest, Search, and Seizure Update.
  • Scene Traffic Crash Investigation.

    Conclusion: This Qualification surpasses the generics of all traffic officer training in the United States of America. However in terms of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Curriculum Civil Disorder, Investigation and Homeland Security are not included in this Qualification. This Qualification does also not contain Scene Traffic Crash Investigation which is contained in the Traffic Officer Certificate Program.

    Canada:

    Traffic officer training in Canada typically takes place through a university or registered college over a two year period which culminates in a diploma. Once completed the learner will have acquired the following competencies:
  • Enforcement, investigative and legal/court processes, procedures and documentation related to road transportation.
  • Conduct interviews, self-initiated or in response to complaints/inquiries, to gather applicable information for potential enforcement action.
  • Recognise and evaluate potential risks to yourself or public and take steps to minimize and/or resolve these.
  • Reduce and/or manage (the effect of) stress in a non-threatening as well as potentially dangerous or threatening work environments.
  • Identify, assess and/or resolve issues and conflicts with people such as violators, complainants, and stakeholders.
  • Interpret and apply applicable federal, provincial statutes/regulations, municipal bylaws and policies, programs and agreements relating to road transportation and the safe operation of vehicles.
  • Operate an enforcement vehicle, as well as office and specialized equipment in a responsible and safe manner.

    Conclusion: Most of the above competencies are embedded in this Qualification.

    Singapore:

    In Singapore the objective of the traffic management course is to provide participants with necessary information on traffic management. At the end of the course, participants are expected to have a good understanding of:
  • The Road Safety Management systems in Singapore and Japan, and how these systems enhance road safety.
  • How Traffic Police, Land Transport Authority and other partners work together to enhance Road Safety in Singapore.

    The course will cover the following areas:
  • Singapore's approach to Road safety - Enforcement, Education and Legislation.
  • Ensuring the competency of drivers - Testing and licensing.
  • Education as a means to enhance Road Safety - Working with partners.
  • Road Safety Through Road Engineering - LTA.
  • Traffic Enforcement Strategies.
  • Examples of traffic policy in Asian region (Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur).
  • Traffic and traffic management in Japan.

    Conclusion: The majority of these aspects are embedded in this Qualification although the course mostly concentrates on road traffic management rather than road traffic law enforcement which will be incorporated in the NQF Level 5 Qualification.

    Malaysia:

    As part of Malaysia's integrated road safety strategy a pilot programme is being undertaken to support the professional development of the traffic police in strategic law enforcement and road safety. The aim of the programme is to strengthen the capacity of traffic law enforcement professionals in Malaysia to reduce the incidence, severity and costs of road trauma in the community.

    The overall programme content includes:
  • Leadership in policing.
  • The purpose of road policing.
  • Evidence-based policing.
  • Effective use of intelligence.
  • Planning strategies and tactics.
  • Identifying and understanding the risks.
  • Understanding the safety factors.
  • Traffic operational policing.
  • Overcoming barriers to enforcement.
  • Safety in traffic policing.
  • Speed and speed control strategies.
  • Alcohol interventions.
  • Occupant restraints.
  • Reporting & obtaining evidence.
  • Collision investigation.

    Conclusion: The content not covered in this Qualification includes leadership, effective use of intelligence, planning strategies and tactics and collision investigation.

    Namibia:

    In Namibia, the Israel Patrick Iyambo Police College is the only institution of advanced police training in the country. The institution offers a Traffic Officers Course over a period of three months. Details of the course are not available.

    Kenyan:

    In Kenya training in traffic law enforcement seems to be part of the training given to constables who graduate to attempt the junior training wing or the inspectors or supervisory courses. The Traffic Department of the Kenyan Police identified the following key competencies for traffic officers:
  • Prevention of road accidents.
  • Investigation of road accidents and maintenance of data.
  • Provision of free flow of traffic along the roads/escorts of VIPs.
  • Enforcement of traffic laws and regulations.
  • Apprehension/prosecution of traffic offenders.
  • Enforce the axle - load regulations in conjunction with Ministry of Public Works at the weighbridges.
  • Carrying out Annual inspections of all Public service vehicles, commercial and private vehicles prior to licensing or registration.
  • Inspection and certification of road worthiness of vehicles on the road.
  • Inspection of accident vehicles to ascertain/determine the pre accident defects.
  • Testing of drivers and issuances of certificate of competence.
  • Monitoring the movement of Government vehicles.

    Conclusion: There is clearly a significant overlap of the competencies of the Traffic Department in Kenya and the competencies in this Qualification.

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion the Further Education and Training Certificate: Road Traffic Law Enforcement is a more comprehensive Qualification than those surveyed. Programmes compared are shorter in duration and do not engage with a number of the technical competencies of this qualification such as the legislative framework, vehicle fitness, controlling of traffic and the use of specialised equipment. Further this Qualification is very specific to South African legislation.
