    Integrated assessment:

    Formative assessments conducted during the learning process consist of written tests, demonstrations and a number of self-assessments. The purpose of formative assessment is to diagnose learner strengths and weaknesses and to determine readiness for summative assessment.

    Summative assessment consists of written tests coupled with assignments, case studies and practical demonstrations and would be conducted only when the learner indicates that he/she is ready to undergo summative assessment.

    Before qualifying, learners will be expected to demonstrate competence in practical situations which integrate the assessment of all specific outcomes, for all unit standards.

    Integrated assessment provides learners with opportunities to display their ability to integrate practical performance, actions, concepts and theories across unit standards in order to achieve competence related to the purpose of this qualification.

    In particular, assessors should monitor and ensure that learners are able to demonstrate an ability to consider a range of options and make decisions about:
  • Quality of observed practical performance as well as the theory and knowledge which underpin practical skills.
  • Different methods to be used by learners to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.
  • Reflective competencies.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The learnership model for the qualification National Certificate in Construction NQF Level 2, is unique to South Africa., but is, however, comparable to the "strand" concept related to qualifications registered on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework.

    In New Zealand, no fundamental unit standards are incorporated in the comparable qualification. Unit standards are clustered into appropriate groups with totals as low as 60 credits. This grouping is called a "strand", indicating a limited area of specialisation.

    The South African learnership model is more comprehensive because fundamental unit standards in Mathematical and Language Literacy are included, providing learners with an opportunity to achieve these competencies as part of the learning processes incorporated in the qualification.

    Grouping of elective unit standards comprising a particular learnership is very similar to the New Zealand "strand" concept, but is more comprehensive, leading to a broader learning field.

    In Botswana, the Department of Labour has established a Construction Industry Trust Fund for the training of artisan-related skills required in the construction industry. The centre is located at Gaborone and uses competency-based training materials and methodologies for the training of artisans in the construction industry. The qualification typify the SAQA NQF Level 3. 

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    This qualification has been developed to provide mobility across various fields of learning in the construction industry.

    Horizontal portability is also possible because the fundamental learning and core units are the same for all the learnerships in this field.

    Annexure C (elective unit standards - rules of combination) provides details of different combinations of electives together with fundamental and core learning, formatted according to fields of learning which will deliver the same generic qualification at NQF Level 2 following successful completion.

    Vertical articulation permits learners to progress from level 1 to level 7 in the various learnership fields. However, from level 4 onwards, competencies are clustered to make provision for supervising and managing a range of skills.

    The following qualifications provide a learning pathway for the construction worker:
  • NQF level 1: National Certificate in Construction (generic + various streams)
  • NQF level 2: National Certificate in Construction (generic + various streams)
  • NQF level 3: National Certificate in Construction (various streams)
  • NQF level 4: National Certificate in the Supervision of Construction activities. (generic)
  • NQF level 5: National Diploma in the Management of Construction activities (generic)
  • NQF level 6: National Degree in Construction Management
  • NQF level 7: National Professional Degree in Construction Management

    For the purposes of RPL, holders of qualifications other than those listed above are also eligible for assessment against this qualification.

Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
