    Integrated assessment:

    Assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and must ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever. For this purpose, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the Qualification.

    Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably aligned. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated through the practical application of sales and services in a wholesale and retail environment.

    Assessment of the communication, language, literacy and numeracy should be conducted in conjunction with other aspects and should use authentic wholesale and retail sales and services 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 evaluated. The assessment of the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of Specific Outcomes and Embedded Knowledge. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    This qualification has been compared with similar qualifications in the following countries considered to be leaders in this field: United Kingdom (including Wales and Scotland), Australia and Singapore.

    Comparisons were conducted via the United Kingdom's National Qualifications Framework for areas of Retail operations provided valuable comparison in terms of three qualifications:
  • Qualification 100/2878/X - Certificate in Retail Operations Level 2 (Scottish Framework)
  • Qualification WRR 30202 - Certificate in Retail Operations Level 3 (UK Framework)
  • Qualification WRR 20102 - Certificate in Retail Operations Level 2 (UK Framework)

    It was noted that merchandising featured strongly in the above qualifications and was therefore included. The qualifications selected are all vocationally based as thus formed a good comparison base for the National Certificate: Wholesale and Retail Operations NQF Level 2.

    The following competencies are incorporated in the WRR30202 (consisting of 9 units of which five are core and 4 elective) and WRR20102 (consisting of 14 units of which 10 core and 4 elective) and the 100.2878/X qualification (consisting of three mandatory units and two optional units of learning:

    Retail operations L3 (WRR30202):
  • Maintain and order stock
  • Maintain store security
  • Apply store security systems and procedures
  • Build relationships with customers
  • Develop innovative ideas at work
  • Profile a retail market
  • Maintain store safety
  • Coordinate merchandising presentation
  • Monitor in-store visual merchandising display

    Retail operations L2 (WRR20102):
  • Communication in the workplace
  • Point of sales handling procedures
  • Terminal or register balancing (Point of Sale)
  • Customer interaction
  • Operating of retail equipment
  • Effective working in a retail environment
  • Safe work practices
  • Routine housekeeping duties (merchandising)
  • Stock control and ordering procedures
  • Minimising of theft

    Retail operations L2 (100.2878/X):
  • Employment rights and responsibilities
  • Service selling and product knowledge
  • Personal effectiveness and teamwork
  • Risk awareness, health and safety
  • Merchandise handling, storage and display

    Careful consideration of the envisaged areas of competency included in the National Certificate: Wholesale and Retail Operations NQF Level 2 shows favourable alignment in terms of:
  • Communication
  • Core concepts of the operational environment
  • Customer interaction
  • Maintaining of a safe and secure environment
  • Point of sales transactions
  • Merchandising and displays
  • Handling of stock
  • Customer relationships via the handling of queries and complaints

    The South African Qualification is however unique in its approach in the enabling of areas of specialisation to make provision for the development of competencies for specific operational requirements. Specific operational needs such as administration and handling of accounts and credit facilities, and in particular the enabling of support services such as Help Desk operations, deviate from the international norm, but add value in terms of skills requirements in the South African context.

    The Singapore Workforce Development Agency is a statutory board under the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and leads and drives workforce development in Singapore through a strong focus on industry driven competency requirements.

    The Certificate in Retail Operations contains the following core modules:
  • Handle merchandise display
  • Working in the retail industry
  • Develop ideas for workplace innovation
  • Maintain personal presentation
  • Interact with customers
  • Sell products and services
  • Perform point of sale operations
  • Perform routine housekeeping duties
  • Perform stock control operations
  • Apply safety and security practices

    Over and above the provision for retail office operations, elective modules for the qualification provide product specific selections for areas such as speciality store assistance, petroleum, product storage (meat, fresh products or seafood).

    Whereas the Singapore qualification differentiates by product, this qualification has more generic unit standards that can be used across the sectors.

    Other comparisons:

    Difficulties were experienced for comparison with qualifications or training in SADC and other African countries, as material is not available. Although the USA is also considered as an area of best practice, relevant qualifications could not be sourced.

    Conclusion:

    From the concluded comparison it is clear that the National Certificate: Wholesale and Retail Operations NQF Level 2 aligns well with international trends in terms of the included fundamental and core components and also compares well with tendencies observed in the elective component of the qualification.

    Merchandising, stock control, communication and a good foundational understanding of the wholesale and retailing environment is clearly aligned with international trends as per the qualifications utilised for comparisons.

    What provides uniqueness is the additional focus on skills and competencies associated with areas of specialisation, which although specific, remains generic enough in approach to make provision for application across product ranges and situations in the diverse Wholesale and Retail industry in the South African context.
