| PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
| Purpose:
This qualification is designed to meet the needs of the Learner in a variety of engineering related sectors. Engineering Fabrication is a generic engineering and trade related qualification that builds on the fundamentals of fabrication. This qualification will provide learners, education and training providers and employers with the standards and the range of learning required to work effectively in various industries making use of engineering fabrication. The main skill that is recognised in this qualification is the ability to produce components of some complexity using a variety of fabrication methods. This capability requires an understanding of, and the ability to, lay out and mark off shapes; set up and use powered machinery; develop and fabricate from drawings and sketches and cut and join components using welding and other mechanical methods. The metal components that the qualified person fabricates will be vital for the construction, maintenance and reliable operation of equipment and machinery in a variety of industries. The qualification adds value to the qualifying learner in terms of enrichment of the person, recognition, and contributes towards the achievement of "artisan" status or other accepted progression route. The qualification is structured in such a way that it exposes learners to generic and specific competencies required in the Engineering Fabrication industries. This qualification makes provision for engineering fabrication to be applied within the following sectors: Qualifying learners will be able to do the following: Qualifying learners will also understand: With this understanding, learners will be able to participate effectively in workplace activities. Rationale: Engineering Fabrication, in the context of this qualification is the designing and fabrication of metal components with certain complexity. These components are usually required for initial or replacement structural purposes, as opposed to merely for maintenance reasons, as required within various industry sectors. The main focus is on interpreting drawings, the lay out and development of metal components, and manipulation of metal (sheet metal, plate and pipe) to produce usable components, as per design requirements. This qualification is intended for learners who want to follow or further a career in the field of engineering fabrication in any of various industries, such as the Mining and Minerals Industry; Chemical; Petro-chemical; Metal, Engineering and related industries. This qualification is for learners who wish to further their learning and to possibly specialise in fabrication, within the context of boiler making, plating, welding, sheet metal working or auto vehicle body building. It enables learners who have gained relevant experience in the workplace to gain credits through the RPL process. The qualification also forms the basis for further learning in the field of engineering fabrication where the learner will be able to specialise in one of the Fabrication or Welding skills areas at NQF Level 4. Most industries rely on the design and fabrication of metal components, of some complexity. Examples of this may be the chemical industry where a wide variety of pipes are utilised. Invariably these pipes are exclusive to a particular plant and need to be specifically fabricated to be fit for purpose. The mining and minerals industry typically has a need for designing and fabrication of components that require special welding processes to cater for high pressure pumping systems. It is evident that each peculiar industry will have a specific requirement. The design of this qualification stems from the collaborative approach to achieve generic type qualifications, that allows (promotes) access, progression, transferability of competence and mobility of the learner within and between sectors. Certain components of learning within this qualification may have pertinence within other learning fields such as fitting, electro-mechanical, automotive etc. This will predominantly be in the area of welding and oxy-fuel equipment cutting and welding. The qualifying learner will be more employable within a broad industry context, and will thus be a contributing factor to the economy of the relevant organisation and the country. The learner will benefit from obtaining this qualification due to the fact that industry has a need for persons with design, development and fabrication competencies. Competent persons will be responsible for designing, developing and fabricating industry related equipment. This qualification focuses on developing skills and knowledge necessary to perform at the level of competence required. This qualification replaces the (currently de-registered) National Certificate: Fabrication NQF Level 3 and the interim registered National Certificate: Plater Welder and Plater Boilermaker NQF Level 3. As this qualification forms the basis for further learning in the field of engineering fabrication, where the learner will be able to specialise in one of the Fabrication or Welding skills areas, it is accepted that the learner may exit (and be employed at this level (Level 3)), or continue further learning toward obtaining the next level qualification. The learner may also choose to learn towards achievement in other fields, as the learning in the fundamental and core component of this qualification lends itself to lateral as well as vertical exploitation. This qualification enables learners who have gained relevant experience in the workplace to gain credits through the RPL process. This qualification is the result of various Standards Generating Bodies collaborating in a common or generic approach to develop Fabrication Qualifications. All the participating SGB bodies recognize the fact that a generic approach, with opportunity for peculiar specialisations, is a solution to avoiding duplication of registering qualifications on the NQF. |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| In order that the learner may progress at a desired rate whilst learning towards this qualification, it is assumed that learners are already competent in Communication and Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 2.
Recognition of Prior Learning: If the learner does not have an equivalent qualification or combination of competencies and assessment of prior learning in relation to the relevant learning guidelines at NQF Level 2 and NQF Level 3 may be undertaken. The learner should be thoroughly briefed on the mechanism to be used and support and guidance should be provided. Care should be taken that the mechanism used provides the learner with an opportunity to demonstrate competence and is not so onerous as to prevent learners from taking up the RPL option towards gaining a qualification. Access to the qualification: Access to this qualification is open. However, it is preferable that learners have completed a relevant industry related National Certificate at NQF Level 2. An example of this may be the National Certificate: Engineering Fabrication NQF Level 2. |

| EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES |
| 1. Demonstrate the ability to produce components of some complexity using a variety of fabrication methods and operations.
2. Demonstrate the ability to select and apply appropriate methods to determine component compliance with specifications and select appropriate procedures to solve familiar problems within a fabrication environment. 3. Contribute to workgroup efforts and support the maintenance of a safe, effective and efficient workplace through effective communication. 4. Maintain organisational relationships through effective communication with peers and members of supervisory/management levels. Critical Cross-Field Outcomes: In accordance with SAQA guidelines, all unit standards include the assessment of relevant critical cross-field outcomes. Consequently, Exit Level Outcomes are consistent with critical cross-field outcome requirements. The following CCFO's have been addressed in this qualification as per the unit standards outlined in the Annexures. Identifying and solving problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical thinking have been made. Working effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation and community. Organising and managing oneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively. Collecting, analysing, organising and critically evaluating information. Communicating effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills. Using science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility toward the environment and health of others. Demonstrating an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem contexts do not exist in isolation. Contributing to the full personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of society at large, by making it an underlying intention of the programme of learning to make an individual aware of: (Evident in Exit Level Outcome/s 1, 2, 3, 4). |
| ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
| Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2: Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3: Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4: > Range: Communication Techniques include verbal and written instructions and reports. Integrated Assessment: Integrated assessment at the level of the qualification provides an opportunity for learners to show they are able to integrate concepts, actions and ideas achieved across a range of unit standards and contexts. Integrated assessment must evaluate the quality of observable performance as well as the thinking behind the performance, and must be based on a summative assessment guide. The guide will spell out how the assessor will assess different aspects of the performance and will include: In some cases inference will be necessary to determine competence depending on the nature and context within which performance takes place. It is necessary to ensure that the fundamental part of the qualification is also targeted to ensure that while the competence may have been achieved in a particular context, learners are able to apply it in a range of other contexts and for further learning. The assessment should also ensure that all the critical cross-field outcomes have been achieved. The learner may choose in which language s/he 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 introduced if pertinent to any of the exit-level outcomes. The assessment process should cover both the explicit tasks required for the qualification as well as the understanding of the concepts and principles that underpin the activities associated with the engineering fabrication process. |
| INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
| It must be stated from the outset of this statement that reference to international benchmarking for this qualification series, applies only to the education and training content at specific levels between NQF Levels 2, 3 and 4 and its measure of "appropriateness" when compared with fabrication training programs internationally. It was not possible to assimilate operational applicability as contexts are too various and wide.
South Africa (SAQA) has embarked on a rationalisation of engineering qualification on the National Qualifications Framework. The traditional qualifications (from the Apprenticeship route) such as Plater Welder, Plater Boilermaker, Boilermaker, etc. were mostly similar in content and intent. In order to arrive at a meaningful and acceptable nomenclature for the qualification, it was decided to use "Fabrication" as a description of the type of activity for this qualification. This presented a problem when attempting to do a comparison of qualifications, nationally and internationally. The problem is that the understanding of the term "Fabrication" is very broad. Many qualifications and outcomes are available but not many in the context of what we (South African Industry) require. The plastic forming industries, as well as the wood and furniture type industries also use "fabrication" as their activity description. This made the International Comparability research more complex. An attempt to concentrate on contextually relevant qualifications during the research process was thought to be prudent. African countries with manufacturing and engineering infrastructure (including SADC countries) were scanned for applicable qualifications or training programs, but no relevant (equivalence) qualifications is offered in any of these countries. Despite exhaustive information searches for information regarding fabrication qualification in Germany and Korea. It was apparent that a similar problem of specialisation as opposed to generalisation existed. International comparability, including similar qualification structures and progressions from Level 2 to Level 3 were found in the following countries: United Kingdom: Fabrication & Welding Engineering Level 3 (NVQ 100/2949/7 SVQ G75023). http://www.tsw.co.uk/tsw/uploaded_files/Fabrication%20&%20Welding%20Engineering%20Level%203.pdf The competencies listed in this qualification are as below: Assess Route; Unit Title: All National Vocational Qualifications in the United Kingdom are achieved through training and assessment. Assessment is normally through on-the-job observation and questioning. Candidates produce evidence to prove they have the competence to meet the NVQ standards. Assessors 'sign-off' units when the candidates are ready - the assessor tests candidates' underpinning knowledge, understanding and work-based performance to make sure they can demonstrate competence in the workplace. This process is fully compatible and comparable with the South African process. Many of the units of learning are not applicable as they are largely outside the peculiar specialisation areas as required in South Africa. It is not evident what the credit value for this qualification is. New Zealand: No relevant qualifications at Level 3 were found. However the Level 4 Qualification National Certificate in Engineering - Fabrication (Level 4) with Sectoral strands in Heavy Fabrication, Light Fabrication, and Welding was used as comparison. There is some similarity in the content of the qualifications with the New Zealand qualification being more specific in terms of unit standard titles. National Certificates in New Zealand are achieved through training and assessment. Assessment is normally through on-the-job observation and other evidence gathering techniques. Candidates provide evidence to prove they have the competence to meet the NZQA standards. Assessors test candidates' underpinning knowledge, understanding and work-based performance to make sure they can demonstrate competence in the workplace. This process is fully compatible and comparable with the South African process with the exception that New Zealand has some unit standards with the requirement of being performed "under supervision". This is contrary to outcomes based learning and development principles. The qualification compares well with the one in New Zealand and also appears to satisfy the comparison in terms of a combined (non-specialist) qualification attainment. This is due to the availability of a choice of strands being available to the industry and the learner. The minimum credit value for this qualification is listed as 269 credits which indicates that it would compare well with the apprenticeship type qualifications. The competencies listed in this qualification are as below: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/nqfdocs/quals/doc/0122.doc ID; Title; Level; Credit: Australia: Following the Australian Prime Minister's announcement, the responsibilities and functions of the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) have been transferred to the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). Certificates in Australia are achieved through training and assessment. Assessment is through training provider and on-the-job observation and other evidence gathering techniques. Candidates provide evidence to prove they have the competence to meet the DEST standards. Assessors test candidates' underpinning knowledge, understanding and work-based performance confirm they can demonstrate competence in the workplace. This process is fully compatible and comparable with the South African process. The trade of Boiler-making is utilised in Australia. However, the process of achieving the qualification is from various options. These options have various specialisations with a set of core components. The lists of unit standards shown below are those that make up the entire qualification requirements. The relevant (for comparison purposes) specialisation areas are listed as: The qualification Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade replaces the following qualifications: This comparison indicates that there are synergies between this SAQA qualification and the qualification listed in Australia (MEM30398). The Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade (Apprenticeship) also appears to satisfy the comparison in terms of a combined (non-specialist) qualification attainment. Certificate III in Engineering -Fabrication Trade MEM30398. http://apprenticeship.det.nsw.edu.au/html/trades/fabrication.htm Unit code; Unit title: It is also apparent that different outcomes are utilised for various qualification titles. The comparison of the Level 2 qualifications indicated that there is a different qualification (MEM30305) that may also be utilised when wishing to embark on further learning in this field. It is not evident what the credit value for this qualification. The discussion documents do however make mention of periods in the region of 36 months duration. |
| ARTICULATION OPTIONS |
| The qualification has been designed and structured so that qualifying learners may move from one engineering context to certain other engineering contexts (within same industry sector or to new industry sectors). This can be achieved by the selection of appropriate credits in the elective category. Equally, holders of other similar qualifications may be evaluated against this qualification for the purpose of RPL.
Vertical articulation: Horizontal articulation: Other contextually relevant engineering qualifications may be: Fundamental learning at this level applies to equivalent credit accrual for most engineering qualifications at NQF Level 3. Core learning at this level may lead to credit accrual for some unit standards in the following qualifications at NQF Level 3: |

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. |
