| PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
| Purpose:
This trade-related qualification will allow a learner in the engineering industry to obtain national certification in mechanical handling. It is a stepping stone between the NQF Level 2 and the Further Education and Training Certificate in Mechanical Handling (Rigging). The learning outcomes build on the knowledge, skills and attributes of the Level 2 qualification and prepare learners for the pathway to artisanship at NQF Level 4. Typical entrants to this qualification could be: This Level 3 qualification enables the learner to work with a degree of responsibility during the performance of lifting/moving tasks without working under direct supervision. The status and relevance of this qualification will attract and retain an acceptable calibre of learners and employees, and is the second step along a recognised and meaningful career path. This qualification can also be attained by means of RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning), thus acknowledging existing knowledge, skills and experience. RPL will not only allow an individual to gain credits towards this qualification, but will also allow movement across different occupational areas where it applies. People credited with this qualification contribute to the rendering of lifting and mechanical handling tasks by the application of knowledge and skills. They are able to: The Unit Standards in this unit standards-based qualification are intended as building blocks for the further development of skills that will make the learner a more fulfilled, informed, efficient and cost effective worker in the industry. This should result in more efficient service to the customer and make the industry more competitive in the global market. After completing this qualification and gaining appropriate working experience, a learner will then be able to progress to the Level 3 qualification, and later to the Level 4 qualification. Rationale: This qualification serves the needs of society and the economy by providing support services in the mechanical handling of machinery, structures, goods and equipment. Mechanical handling is vital to the existence, performance and growth of the South African economy. A healthy economy is in turn vital to the upliftment of the country, its industrial infrastructure and its population. Stakeholders within the various industry sectors invest considerable sums of money in plant, equipment, processes, raw materials and other resources. These investments can only be justified if there is an assurance that the goods, machinery, equipment and structures are lifted, moved and placed with the utmost efficiency by individuals who are trained and qualified to do so. Similarly, maintenance shutdowns on process plant installations, the moving of goods at a shipping container terminal and the haulage of materials in the mining industry, all need a degree of efficiency in lifting and mechanical handling which will ensure a minimum impact on costs and productivity. For this purpose, competent artisans are required to meet the exacting legislative and hazardous nature of most lifting and mechanical handling projects. Through its design, this qualification will meet the needs of existing learners in the lifting and mechanical handling sector who require technical expertise and essential knowledge needed to earn a formal qualification relevant to the occupation. The qualification facilitates access from previously disadvantaged groups and other learners to acquire the technical knowledge and skills that are required. The National Certificate: Mechanical Handling (Rigging) Level 3 will produce competent learners who are able to contribute to improved productivity and efficiency within the engineering support environment. They will be able to work according to legislative, regulatory and quality assurance requirements. This qualification will enhance the status, productivity and employability of the learner within the engineering sector as well as contribute to quality and productivity. This allows for greater access, progression, portability and mobility within and between the different sectors for which the engineering sector provides support services. |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| This qualification assumes learners obtained a National Certificate in Mechanical Handling (Rigging) NQF Level 2 or an equivalent qualification. If the learner does not already have such a qualification, learning in preparation for this qualification would also have to include:
Recognition of Prior Learning: This qualification can be obtained wholly or in part through the recognition of prior learning (RPL). The learner should be thoroughly briefed on the process. Support and guidance should be provided. The process should not be so onerous as to prevent learners from taking up the RPL option in obtaining the qualification. Access to the Qualification: Access to this qualification is open. However, it is preferred that learners would have completed a National Certificate in Mechanical Handling (Rigging) NQF Level 2 or an equivalent qualification. |

| INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
| 1. Introduction:
In benchmarking the Mechanical Handling (Rigging) qualification series, against international qualifications, examples in different parts of the world were investigated. The country which dominates the international standard for mechanical handling (rigging) is the United Kingdom. For centuries Britain's maritime influence has simultaneously developed best practices in rope-work (the origins of rigging), the application of lifting equipment and the development of a regulatory infrastructure which is still evident today. This influence has cascaded into Commonwealth Countries (examples, Singapore; Malaysia; Australia; New Zealand; India) and includes the United States of America (USA). Although countries across the globe have independent regulatory frameworks pertaining to mechanical handling, the lifting and moving of loads and the application of lifting equipment, there is a close resemblance to the British equivalent (The Lloyd's Register - Code for Lifting Appliances, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations of 1998: LOLER and the applicable British Standards). Currently, this mechanical handling standard is applicable to the maritime, offshore oil and gas exploration, mining, civil engineering and construction and manufacturing and engineering sectors across the globe. During this investigation into international comparability, a variety of examples in different parts of the world were evaluated. 2. Countries and qualifications investigated: United Kingdom (England and Scotland): From www.ecitb.org.uk: The qualification from the National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQ) which relates to standards-based programme is the N/SVQ Maintaining Plant and Systems: The "Rigging" strand at SVQ Level 3 is usually completed within a workplace context, with monitoring and assessments performed by a training officer). The National Certificate: Mechanical Handling (Rigging) Level 3 is not in alignment with the N/SVQF owing to the differences in level description. However, the South African National Certificate: Mechanical Handling (Rigging) Level 3 appears to straddle the N/SVQ (Moving Loads) between Levels 3 and 4. African Comparability: Southern African Development Community (SADC): Zimbabwe and Botswana: Alignment with the United Kingdom's model of Vocational Education and Training (VET), through the London City and Guilds qualification framework and the National Vocational Qualification system (NVQ): The Botswana National Qualifications Act was passed in 1998. At this present time, focus on the development of standards-based qualifications through a Botswana Vocation Education and Training System (BVET) has revolved around the Wholesale and Retail and Tourism sectors. Currently, Riggers in Botswana are trained through the apprenticeship system. The length and duration of the practical and theoretical components differ slightly to the South African apprenticeship system, but the learning competencies are similar. The primary context is the diamond mining sector and small local manufacturing and engineering industries. East African Community (EAC): The three member states of the EAC; Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, are in the process of the harmonisation of education and training systems within the EAC. Currently, no qualification infrastructure exists. United States: In the United States model, the "rigger" qualification is achieved over a four-year period and is similar to the traditional apprenticeship system in South Africa. The methodology is competency-based as opposed to outcomes-based. The programme content however, is similar to the broad context of Mechanical Engineering (Rigging) Levels 2, 3 and 4. Conclusion: The mechanical handling (rigger) qualification Level 3 is in line with the US example for year 3/4 of the apprenticeship programme. Canada: Information regarding training was also found on the website of the Manitoba Provincial Government's web-site. The full "rigger" qualification is obtained over a four-year period. The "job description" of the "rigger" is similar in content in the international arena for all levels of learning. Conclusion: The Canadian qualifications related to mechanical Rigging can be used interchangeably with the qualifications developed for the South African manufacturing and engineering industries, serving a similar purpose. New Zealand (www.kiwiquals.govt.nz) in terms of the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF): Australia (www.ntis.gov.au) in terms of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF): The following information was obtained on the website: http://www.ntis.au (National Information Training System) with regards to qualifications in "Rigger" training streams in Australia. "Australian Apprenticeships" is the new name for the scheme formerly known as 'New Apprenticeships'. Australian Apprenticeships encompass all apprenticeships and traineeships. They combine time at work with training and can be full-time, part-time or school-based. The qualifications investigated for "Riggers" are only covered within the apprenticeship format. 3. Summary of comparisons with National Certificate: Mechanical Handling (Rigging) Level 3: Content: The qualifications from the various countries all address the range of mechanical handling competencies included in Level 3, thus attending to the need to fulfil the requirements of being intermediately of nature. Progression: The international qualifications all address a progression of competencies, from the basic functions (Level 2) to: Level 3: Level 4: The content: The content of the second/third year of a typical mechanical Rigging programme in most countries, relates favourably to the content of Mechanical Handling (Rigging) Level 3: Demonstration of work practices: Investigation into international comparability produces overarching similarities in the outcomes of the various mechanical fitter (maintenance or production) training programmes in all the countries above. They are: Level 3 outcomes common to most countries: The above outcomes are replicated within the South African equivalent qualification. Learning delivery: The learning delivery process in all the examples included on-the-job (practical) and off-the-job (theoretical) components. Outcomes-Based Methodology: All the examples found either directly or indirectly comply with principles of outcomes-based learning, particularly in terms of outcomes representing meaningful units of learning and assessment being conducted continuously (formatively). There is generally a final integrated summative assessment, typically called a certificate of qualification (trade test), where the candidate is required to demonstrate specific and core (cross-field) knowledge and skills. Apprenticeships and VET programmes: In all the examples found, learning is vocational-based. In some countries (England, Scotland, New Zealand and Australia) these are called "modern apprenticeships". These take the form of two categories, namely a programme-led apprenticeship where learners are able to follow a vocational programme at a college and then seek employment as trainees/apprentice/interns in order to qualify as artisans; and an employer-led apprenticeship, in which learners are engaged in a formal contract of learning and most learning is workplace-based. In most cases learners "earn while they learn". Application (Purpose): As is the intention with the South African qualifications, the international qualifications all prepare learners for lifting and mechanical handling across a wide variety of industry sectors. 4. Concluding remarks: The Level 3 certificate developed for South Africa compares favourably with the international qualifications mentioned above. 5.
