PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The purpose of this qualification is for learners to be able to manage the sourcing, selection and maintenance of a radio station's output. The National Certificate in Radio Station Management (NQF Level 5) qualification is generic across commercial, public and community service fields. The qualification will create larger pool of competent station managers to meet the growing need for competence. Apart from the competencies gained, other advantages of the qualification to learners include recognition, mobility, standardisation, and broad competency base across areas (some of which are generic).

Qualifying learners are capable of:
  • Compiling business plans in accordance with stakeholders requirements
  • Managing human resources to optimise performance in radio stations
  • Applying financial management principles in order to maximise revenue and minimise costs
  • Developing and implementing marketing strategies in order to optimise brand awareness
  • Maximising advertising sales to optimise financial viability and stability of radio stations
  • Developing, managing and implementing programme strategies that are in line with specific mandates
  • Managing operations and facilities to achieve business objectives
  • Formulating research objectives and interpreting and applying results to inform strategies

    To qualify, learners are required to elect to become capable of:
  • Selecting music for radio stations OR
  • Managing radio station music databases OR
  • Scheduling music for radio stations

    Rationale

    A demand exists for this qualification in that there is no current formal qualification for Radio Management. Rather, It is typical that radio people competent in other job areas get promoted to management level, but are without management experience or training. This is especially so in the Community Radio sector which is currently experiencing much learning and developing. In addition to the former, ICASA plans to increase licences across the sectors, meaning that management skills will be much needed. This qualification thus fills a gap/need for managers in the radio industry.

    Management competencies (and especially financial competencies) will enhance both the quality and the economic viability and sustainability of a radio station. The qualification will be valuable for people working at a music radio station who need to manage the sourcing, selection and maintenance of a radio station's musical output. The qualification will also help to "professionalise" the community radio sector.

    The qualification will standardise/equalise station management throughout the industry and provide a bigger pool of competence for key role players. Qualified learners will have enhanced mobility to move across sectors and across various media (generic management skills in particular enhances mobility within and between both sectors and industries). Competencies acquired will include: finance, human resources, marketing, sales, programming, research, technical (outside programming). Qualified learners will also be mentors and expected to impart skills (without a formal qualification standard, this development of others can be left to chance). Leadership qualities overall will be developed. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The design and credits of this qualification was based on the assumption that the following competencies have been attained before commencing with this qualification:
  • Computer literacy (word processing and spreadsheets end use) at NQF Level 3
  • Project management at NQF Level 4
  • Achieving audience strategy objectives in radio at NQF Level 5
  • Research analysis and implementation at NQF Level 4
  • Writing business reports at NQF Level 4
  • Time management at NQF Level 4

    It is also assumed that learners understand and can explain:
  • At least one Computer Music Scheduling System
  • How to operate digital recording and play out equipment
  • Library indexing (or archiving)
  • The characteristics of the South African music industry
  • International and local music trends
  • Regulatory bodies, legislation and processes (ICASA, SAMRO)
  • Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa's code of conduct
  • Radio stations' programme strategy and music policy requirements

    Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

    This qualification can be achieved wholly, or in part, through recognition of prior learning. Evidence can be presented in a variety of forms, including previous international or local qualifications, reports, testimonials, mentoring, functions performed, portfolios, work records and performance records. As such, evidence should be judged according to the general principles of assessment described in the notes to assessors below. Learners who think they have met the requirements of any Unit Standard that forms part of this qualification may apply for recognition of prior learning to the relevant Education and Training Quality Assurance body (ETQA). The applicant must be assessed against the specific outcomes and with the assessment criteria for the relevant Unit Standards. A qualification will be awarded should a learner demonstrate that the exit level outcomes of the qualification have been attained.

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Internationally, almost no qualifications were found specifically addressing radio station management competence. Mostly short courses are provided after initial qualifications in various fields. For example, in Bulgaria, short courses address competence in strategic planning, sales management, marketing, managing human resources, promotions, and advertising, and in Cambodia, short courses for radio station managers focus on audience research. All these sets of competence are contained within this South African qualification.

    Many countries, including the United Kingdom, base their radio station management learning programs on general management programs, and are conceptualised as progression from or part of radio production and radio presenting learning programs. In the Netherlands, most programs focus on content development and journalism.

    The Australian framework contains only one qualification, a one-year Diploma of Broadcasting, which is at a level equivalent to this South African qualification. Although the qualification is aimed at radio and television broadcasting industry personnel who are involved in producing and presenting programs, including on-air presenting, it addresses similar sets of competence in its elective components. The South African qualification has more of a business focus, and addresses more strategic planning competence than the Australian qualification, that focuses more on production. The qualifications compare as follows:

    In the United States of America (USA), radio station management competence is often achieved after an initial Bachelor of Arts degree (often in Communication) - this is at a higher level than this South African qualification. Competent/qualified radio station managers are required to apply their competence under limited supervision. Competencies addressed in learning programs compare as follows with this South African qualification:

    USA-South Africa
  • Conducting research, including audience needs assessment-Formulating research objectives and interpreting and applying results to inform strategies
  • Establishing communication lines-(Integrated within the unit standards)
  • Designing and coordinating fundraising activities and other projects -Maximising advertising sales to optimise financial viability and stability of radio stations

    Radio station management competence in Afghanistan (where new independent radio stations are currently developing) compares as follows with the South African qualification:

    Afghanistan-South Africa
  • Coordinating radio station operations-Managing operations and facilities to achieve business objectives
  • Purchasing equipment, maintaining it and supervising repairs-Managing operations and facilities to achieve business objectives
  • Coordinating radio station personnel -Managing human resources to optimise performance in radio stations
  • Coordinating radio budgets-Applying financial management principles in order to maximise revenue and minimise costs

    None of the electives in the South African qualification is included in Afghanistan training programs, and marketing, sales and research competences are not addressed in Afghanistan.

    The South African qualification was found to be unique, as most other countries do not award a qualification for radio station management, or include this area of competence with radio production or radio presenting qualifications. 

  • ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    Vertical articulation upwards is possible with, for example, the National First Degree in Customer Management at NQF Level 6. Vertical articulation downwards is possible with, for example, the National Certificate in Music Industry Business and Management at NQF Level 4. Horizontal articulation on the NQF is possible with, for example, the National Certificate in Management at NQF Level 5 (24493), and the National Certificate in Radio Production (NQF Level 5). 

    MODERATION OPTIONS 
    Moderation of assessment and accreditation of providers shall be at the discretion of a relevant ETQA as long as it complies with the SAQA requirements. The ETQA is responsible for moderation of learner achievements of learners who meet the requirements of this qualification. Particular moderation and accreditation requirements are:
  • Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this qualification must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA. Providers offering learning towards achievement of any of the unit standards that make up this qualification must also be accredited through the relevant ETQA accredited by SAQA.
  • The ETQA will oversee assessment and moderation of assessment according to their policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation, or in terms of agreements reached around assessment and moderation between the relevant ETQA and other ETQAs and in terms of the moderation guideline detailed here.
  • Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments for the qualification, unless the relevant ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described in Unit Standards as well as the integrated competence described in the qualification.
  • Internal moderation of assessment must take place at the point of assessment with external moderation provided by a relevant ETQA according to the moderation guidelines and the agreed ETQA procedures.
  • Anyone wishing to be assessed against this qualification may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution that is accredited by the relevant ETQA. 

  • CRITERIA FOR THE REGISTRATION OF ASSESSORS 
    Assessment of learner achievements takes place at providers accredited by the relevant ETQA (RSA, 1998b) for the provision of programs that result in the outcomes specified for this qualification. Anyone assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of a learner against this qualification must be registered as an assessor with the ETQA. Assessors registered with the relevant ETQA must carry out the assessment of learners for the qualification and any of the Unit Standards that make up this qualification.

    To register as an assessor, the following are required:
  • Detailed documentary proof of relevant qualification/s, practical training completed, and experience gained, at a level above the level of this qualification.
  • NQF recognised assessor credit

    Assessors should keep the following general principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments:
  • Focus the initial assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcomes expressed in the titles of the Unit Standards to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember that the learner needs to be declared competent in terms of the qualification purpose and exit level outcomes.
  • Where assessment across Unit Standard titles or at Unit Standard title level is unmanageable, then focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes. Take special note of the need for integrated assessment.
  • Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies.

    In particular, assessors should assess that the learner demonstrates an ability to consider a range of options by:
  • Measuring the quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge.
  • Using methods that are varied to allow the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.
  • Maintaining a balance between practical performance and theoretical assessment methods to ensure each is measured in accordance with the level of the qualification.
  • Taking into account that the relationship between practical and theoretical components is not fixed, but varies according to the type and level of qualification.

    All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well-documented principles:
  • Appropriate: The method of assessment is suited to the performance being assessed.
  • Fair: The method of assessment does not present any barriers to achievements, which are not related to the evidence.
  • Manageable: The methods used make for easily arranged cost-effective assessments that do not unduly interfere with learning.
  • Integrate into work or learning: Evidence collection is integrated into the work or learning process where this is appropriate and feasible.
  • Valid: The assessment focuses on the requirements laid down in the standards; i.e. the assessment is fit for purpose.
  • Direct: The activities in the assessment mirror the conditions of actual performance as close as possible.
  • Authentic: The assessor is satisfied that the work being assessed is attributable to the learner being assessed.
  • Sufficient: The evidence collected establishes that all criteria have been met and that performance to the required Standard can be repeated consistently.
  • Systematic: Planning and recording is sufficiently rigorous to ensure that assessment is fair.
  • Open: Learners can contribute to the planning and accumulation of evidence. Learners for assessment understand the assessment process and the criteria that apply.
  • Consistent: The same assessor would make the same judgement again in similar circumstances. The judgement made is similar than the judgement that would be made by other assessors
