ARTICULATION OPTIONS |
This programme provides access to various learning pathways, both vertical and horizontal. The scope of access provided is determined by the Qualification itself.
The underlying principle in the design is that the qualifying learner has the learning assumed to be in place to embark upon the study of qualifications at a higher level or at the same level but with a different focus, and that through the acquisition of this certificate, a viable learning pathway is created. This underpins the concept that qualification design favours the principle of 'dove-tailing', i.e. exiting from this qualification leads directly to entry to one or more qualifications at the same or higher level of the NQF. This programme compare favourably with similar one's at other tertiary institutions and allows for articulation horizontally and vertically nationally. By structuring the programme within the South African Qualifications Authority guidelines learners will be able to articulate both horizontally and vertically to other programmes and institutions as equivalent Qualifications offered by other institutions also follow these South African Qualifications Authority standards. Taking different subjects from different fields and from other faculties further enhances horizontal articulation. This programme is sufficiently general to allow learners wishing to switch to other qualifications offered by the Institution or elsewhere. Successful learners may also continue their studies at suitable tertiary institutions. |
