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 qualification does not replace any other qualification and is not replaced by any other qualification. 

PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

The purpose of this qualification is to recognise the skills and knowledge required to:
  • Terminate, joint, upgrade and install medium voltage cables.
  • Work effectively and efficiently, optimising the use of resources.
  • Observe all applicable regulations and legislative requirements.

    For the purposes of this qualification, medium voltage is defined as not exceeding 33 kV.

    These capabilities require an understanding of:
  • Factors which affect the quality of cable joints and terminations.
  • Work practices which promote and maintain safety and quality, while minimising risks, by identifying and eliminating hazards and potentially dangerous situations.
  • Controlling environmental impacts and working in adverse climatic conditions.
  • The relevant standards, statutory requirements and jointing or terminating procedures.
  • Managing resources, time and the jointing team.
  • Liaising with sub-contractors.

    The skills and understanding acquired by learners will contribute to the development of the economy, the supply of essential services, the expansion of services to those who previously did not have electricity, and the maintenance of current services to industry and private citizens.

    Rationale:

    Although electrical power cable jointers perform a critically important role in the economy, there has to date been no formal recognition of their skills. Cable jointing and termination as an activity is captured within electrical qualifications but specialist cable jointers have had to rely on informal training acquired over a period of many years. It has become important to recognise this occupation and the related skills and knowledge for the following reasons:
  • The complexity of cables and cable jointing systems, especially for medium and high voltage cables, has increased.
  • The renewal of South Africa's aging electrical infrastructure requires formally qualified people if the cable jointing and termination failures are not to persist.
  • Infrastructural development projects will require the services of formally qualified cable jointers.
  • Electrical service providers, such as municipalities, find it difficult to identify contractors who have the required knowledge and skills.
  • In keeping with the principles of the National Qualifications Framework, this qualification will provide recognition to those who are deemed competent in the occupation by their peers and their employers.

    The outcomes of this qualification combine skills and knowledge in the technical, inter-personal and business spheres, enabling the learner to perform the operational aspects of the work, function within a team context and contribute to value-adding processes within the organisation, for the benefit of customers and thus for the economy and society at large. 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The following competencies are assumed for a learner embarking on this qualification:
  • Communication and Literacy, NQF Level 3.
  • Mathematical Literacy, NQF Level 3.
  • Hand skills with a variety of hand and power tools.

    These skills form the basis for determining the credit allocation in this qualification. These skills may be acquired through a National Certificate at NQF Level 2 or 3. If a learner does not have such experience, the learning time will be increased. The allocation of credits is also based on the assumption that the learner will be working towards this qualification as part of a learning programme which integrates the unit standards.

    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    This qualification may be obtained through a process of RPL. The learner should be thoroughly briefed prior to the assessment and support should be provided to assist the learner in the process of developing a portfolio. The guidelines for integrated assessment should be used to develop the RPL assessment process. As with integrated assessment, while this is primarily workplace-based qualification, evidence from other areas of endeavour may be introduced if pertinent to any of the Exit Level Outcomes.

    Access to the qualification:

    There is open access to this qualification. Employers or training institutions may however require the learner to have had experience in another occupation such as fitter or electrician. A workplace and learner support in the workplace is, however, a prerequisite to obtaining the relevant work experience and evidence required for the assessment of the Exit Level Outcomes.

  • The Elective Component consists of Unit Standards to the value of 50 credits. Learners are to choose Unit Standards to the minimum of 12 credits. 
    		•

    EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES 
    The Exit Level Outcomes for this qualification reflect a combination of Specific Outcomes and Critical Cross-field Education and Training Outcomes. The way in which the Critical Outcomes have been advanced through the learning required for this qualification is embedded in the way in which the unit standards have been constructed. Critical Outcomes form the basis for acquiring the skills and knowledge and values. The application of these in a specific context results in the achievement of Specific Outcomes. The integration of Specific Outcomes from a variety of unit standards results in the ability to achieve the Exit Level Outcomes.

    1. Terminate, joint, upgrade and install medium voltage cables.
    2. Plan and prepare for cable jointing operations.
    3. Develop the skills and performance of team members.
    4. Manage the quality and safety of cable jointing and termination.

    Critical Cross Field Outcomes:

    The Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are embedded in the unit standards which make up the qualification and are thus also reflected in the Exit Level Outcomes of the qualification. While performing cable jointing and termination functions and related activities qualifying learners will exhibit the following in relation to the Exit Level Outcomes.
  • Identifying and solving problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical thinking have been made (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4).
  • Working effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organization and community (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4).
  • Organising and managing oneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4).
  • Collecting, analyzing, organizing and critically evaluating information (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4).
  • Communicating effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4).
  • Using science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility toward the environment and the health of others (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 4).
  • Demonstrating an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognizing that problem contexts do not exist in isolation (Exit Level Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4). 
    		•

    Integrated Assessment:

    The integrated assessment should be based on a summative assessment guide. The guide will specify how the assessor will assess different aspects of the performance and will include:
  • Evaluating evidence in a portfolio of evidence, particularly projects which integrate various aspects of the qualification and which demonstrate the integration of all aspects of learning: fundamental and core; knowledge, skills and values; the development of the critical outcomes.
  • Observing and listening to the learner at work, both in primary activities as well as in other interactions, or in relevant simulations.
  • Asking questions and initiating short discussions to test understanding and to verify other evidence.
  • Looking at records and reports.
  • Formative and summative assessment of unit standards.

    Assessment of competence for this qualification is based on experience acquired by the learner in the workplace, within the particular cable jointing and termination context. The assessment process should cover the explicit tasks required for the qualification as well as the understanding of the underlying concepts and principles. The assessment process should also establish how the learning process has advanced the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes.

    The learner may choose in which language he/she wants to be assessed. This should be established as part of a process of preparing the learner for assessment and familiarising the learner with the approach being taken.

    While this is primarily a workplace-based qualification, evidence from other areas of endeavour may be presented if pertinent to any of the Exit Level Outcomes.

    Assessors should also evaluate evidence that the learner is able to perform consistently over a period of time.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Comparison with cable jointing qualifications was carried out in two stages:
  • Comparison of the occupational profile.
  • Comparison of course and/or standards for specific cable jointing and termination processes.

    Occupational profile

    A cable jointer is a recognised trade/occupation in a wide range of countries ranging across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Antipodes. The International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO, 1988) classifies it as 72451 Cable worker, electric power, underground cables.

    The occupational profile is described by the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (Second Edition) as:
  • 4313-13 Cable Jointer: Joins insulated electric power cables installed in underground conduits and trenches and prepares cable terminations for connection to electrical equipment and overhead lines.
  • Skill Level: The entry requirement for this occupation is an AQF Certificate III or higher qualification. Registration or licensing may be required.

    Tasks Include:
  • Repairs, maintains and joins cables.
  • Splices conductors, insulates splices and connects cable sheathing.
  • Checks insulation and performance of installed cables.
  • Maintains location diagrams.
  • Ensures that electrical conductors are correctly connected between sub-stations and customers' premises.
  • May dig trenches and service pits or tunnels for cables.
  • May test for the presence of gas.
  • May encase cables in armoured or other protective covers.

    An Australian AQF Certificate III is equivalent to the South African NQF level 4 which is a standard for engineering trades and occupations. Energex, a private Australian company which distributes and retails electricity, amongst other sources of energy, describes the responsibility of the cable jointer as follows:
  • Cable Jointers are responsible, both individually and as a member of a team, for the installation and maintenance of a wide range of cables, accessories and auxiliary equipment associated with underground electricity cable systems to ensure the safety, quality assurance and reliability of services.

    This occupational profile has been quoted to emphasise that:
  • The cable jointer works as part of a team. Implicit in the occupational profile is the ability to direct the activities of a team, and particularly those of the jointer's mate (see the section on courses below).
  • The occupation has to deal with 'a wide range of cables, accessories and auxiliary equipment'.

    These broad occupational descriptors accord, explicitly and implicitly, with those in other countries, eg New Zealand, United Kingdom, Germany and Hong Kong.

    In the United States of America and other countries in the new world, the occupation is classified as Electrical Line Installer and Repairer and the profile includes other duties such as installing overhead cables. This component of the qualification is not included in the usual role descriptions of cable jointers.

    The occupational profiles, in general, do not specify voltages or cable types and the definitions of low, medium and high voltage vary quite widely. Voltage is an indication of complexity and determines specific jointing and quality requirements. The exception is New Zealand. where cable jointing qualifications are described in some detail:
  • They demonstrate a progression in terms of complexity across three levels.
  • They are more explicit in terms of voltages and complexity.

    The New Zealand cable jointing qualifications describe three stages:

    Stage 1: National Certificate in Electricity Supply (Cable Jointer- Low Voltage) (Level 3).
  • Jointing and terminating low voltage paper cables.
  • Jointing and terminating low voltage live polymeric and paper cables.
  • Polarity and phasing.

    Stage 2: National Certificate in Electricity Supply (Cable Jointer - High Voltage) (Level 4) with an optional strand in Cable Jointer Advanced
    The qualification covers the jointing and terminating of high voltage cables in the following cable categories:
  • Joint HV polymeric insulated power cables up to 11kV.
  • Joint HV paper insulated power cables up to 11kV.
  • Install pad mounted electrical equipment.
  • Terminate HV polymeric insulated power cables up to 11kV.
  • Terminate HV paper insulated power cables up to 11kV.

    Optional Strand
    The optional strand allows the trainee to further develop these skills for working on the following cable categories:
  • Joint HV polymeric insulated power cables from 22kV to 33kV.
  • Joint HV paper insulated power cables from 22kV to 33kV.
  • Terminate HV polymeric insulated power cables from 22kV to 33kV.
  • Terminate HV paper insulated power cables from 22kV to 33kV.

    Joint electricity supply power cables up to and including 11kV using transition jointing methods.

    Stage 3: National Certificate in Electricity Supply (Cable Jointer - Specialist) (Level 5).
    The qualification covers the specialist jointing and terminating of high voltage cables in the following cable categories:
  • Oil or gas pressured paper cables.
  • Oil or gas filled polymeric cables.
  • Paper insulated cables up to 33kV.
  • Polymeric cables up to 66kV.
  • Other specialist HV cable types.

    Occupational Profile Compared to Qualification
    The exit level outcomes and the unit standards included in the South African qualification can be compared satisfactorily to the occupational profile in general and the requirements of the level 4 New Zealand qualification in particular.

    Courses and Standards
    Education and training for cable jointers is generally described in the following forms:
  • A person acquires the skills and knowledge as part of an apprenticeship, eg Hong Kong, India, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia.
  • A person qualified in a related engineering trade acquires the skills and knowledge in a combination of short courses and on-the-job training, eg USA, UK, Germany.

    Typical courses include the following from a private training company in the United Kingdom:
  • Course Name: 33 kV Jointing, Days: 10.
  • Course Name: HV Overhead Terminations, Days: 1.
  • Course Name: Padmount Jointing, Days: 1.
  • Course Name: 11kV XLPE (Triplex) Jointing, Days: 5.
  • Course Name: 33kV Single Core XLPE Jointing, Days: 2.
  • Course Name: Jointing Appreciation Course, Days: 1.
  • Course Name: LV Single Phase Jointing Course, Days: 2.
  • Course Name: Full 11kV (LV-HV) Cable Jointing Course, Days: 10.
  • Course Name: Jointers Mates Duties, Days: 5.
  • Course Name: Full Low Voltage Jointing, Days: 20.
  • Course Name: Plastic Jointing Course, Days: 4.
    > Total course days: 61.

    The courses essentially only cover jointing and termination techniques but also include low voltage jointing and termination. The courses do not cover welding techniques, the management of sites and resources, or team management and development skills. Note the course detailing the duties of jointer's mate. This implies:
  • The team-nature of the process.
  • That the jointer's mate has a particular role in the process.

    Another example, from Africa, illustrates a slightly different approach. The Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre in Zambia, which focuses largely on developing skills for hydroelectric power generation, offers a 3 week training course for cable jointers.

    Learning Objectives (sic)
    At the end of the course, the participant shall be able to:
  • Apply skills in the use of various types of hand, power and special tools in cable jointing and termination.
  • Identify and utilize various types of materials used in cable jointing and termination.
  • Apply standard safety rules and regulations.
  • Apply skills pertaining to installation and maintenance of LV, MV and HV cable joining.

    Course Outline
  • Electricity General Rules and Regulations.
  • Communication Skills.
  • Basic Electricity Theory and Practice.
  • Engineering Drawing.
  • Mechanical Principles.
  • Main cable types.
  • Application of cable to various voltages.
  • Configurations and situations.
  • Cable Jointing Theory and Jointing Practice.
  • Cable Termination Theory and Termination Practice.
  • Tools and Materials.

    This course illustrates the broad framework of knowledge and skills required by a cable jointer. However, given that the 11 modules are spread over 15 days, a considerable degree of depth is unlikely to be achieved, and, at best, this course serves as an introduction. A deepening of knowledge and understanding through application in context would be needed to develop the level of competence expected in the occupational profile.

    Course Comparison to Qualification and Unit Standards

    The difficulty in comparing training modules and courses to a competency-based qualification is that they only describe one part of the learning process. The workplace epistemologies or epistemologies of practice (ways of acquiring knowledge) are not explicit. All that can be stated is that the titles of the courses or modules are embedded in the qualification as:
  • Specific outcomes.
  • Essential embedded knowledge.
  • Assessment criteria.

    The contents of the courses would be embedded in the unit standards and assessed as that part which probes the learner's understanding.

    Summary of the comparison

    Comparison was done in two stages:
  • Comparison of the occupational profile.
  • Comparison of course and/or standards for specific cable jointing and termination processes.

    The occupational profile is reflected in the exit level outcomes and the choice of unit standards and the course titles and content are embedded in the unit standards.
