PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This qualification is intended to meet the needs of individuals involved in or envisaging involvement in a voluntary capacity in a broad range of sectors making use of voluntary workers. The skills and competencies gained will enable effective contribution in operational environments in a voluntary capacity.

The focus of the qualification enables learners to be competent in a range of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values including:
  • Understanding the role and function of volunteers.
  • Applying customer care and service.
  • Understanding cultural differences and diversity in the operational environment.
  • Working as part of a team.
  • Gathering and analyzing information.
  • Complying with operational standards and requirements.
  • Applying ethical behaviour in operational environments.
  • Communicating effectively as per operational requirements.

    Learners achieving this qualification will be able to demonstrate competencies in volunteer operations relating to a specific environment. In particular, learners will be able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of volunteerism as it applies to the operational environment.
  • Participate in and support the operational objectives of a project, initiative or event on a voluntary basis.
  • Work with members of a team to meet operational standards and objectives.
  • Interact with clients to meet operational objectives.

    Rationale:

    The involvement of individuals in a voluntary capacity in different environments within a range of sectors in South Africa is a reality. Examples of volunteerism include:
  • Sport: Involvement in sport coaching, officiating, administration and hosting of events in all codes of sport at all levels.
  • Events: Participation and support of events such as conferencing, exhibitions, expos, workshops, indabas, product launches, marketing and retail and promotional events.
  • Tourism: Involvement in tourism promotions, destination promotion, functions, guided experiences and similar initiatives by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT) for tourism promotion in South Africa.
  • Community Development: Involvement in community outreach programmes and community development initiatives.
  • Recreation: Involvement in Leisure and Recreation activities or events including festivals, music and cultural events, celebrations, coordinating competitions and fundraising.
  • Social Development programmes and initiatives: Involvement in social development programmes and initiatives such as feeding programmes or victim empowerment.

    Two of the main benefits of volunteerism are economical and social. The provision of services in a voluntary capacity adds to the overall economic output and human resources develoment of a sector and the country at large, whilst social benefit is derived from the facilitation of community cohesion and the fostering of trust between citizens.

    Over and above these two benefits, a culture of volunteerism has the potential of enabling contribution towards nation building and transformation. This is achievable both in terms of the provision of voluntary service for philanthropic and altruistic reasons as well as the enabling of opportunties for the gaining of experience through the involvement of individuals in voluntary activities for the purpose of gaining experience in and access to a specific field of interest.

    The approach followed will largely be influenced by the diverse demographic profile of the individual involved in volunteering. The utilisation of the qualification in volunteer operations will support access, redress and a culture of life-long learning.

    South Africa is hosting the FIFA 2010 World Cup and there are endless opportunities for South Africans to contribute to and benefit from this major sporting event. The South African Government commenced with a strategy of exploring volunteerism towards 2010 and beyond and the qualification thus enables the mobilization of volunteerism within this context.

    This qualification will fast track the development of individuals in the volunteer movement and mass participation opportunities to achieving nationally recognised, occupationally directed competencies and skills, thus establishing a pool of highly skilled, competent individuals who will deliver professional performance in the sectors where their services are accessed. Voluntary participation will enhance service delivery and will provide opportunities to the unemployed, youth, people with disability and women for the obtaining of skills, which could lead to job-creation and self-employment. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    It is assumed that learners are competent in:
  • Communication at NQF Level 3.

    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    This Qualification can be achieved wholly or in part through the Recognition of Prior Learning and the Qualification may be granted to learners who have acquired the skills and knowledge without attending formal courses providing they can demonstrate competence in the outcomes of the individual Unit Standards as required by the Fundamental, Core and Elective areas stipulated in the Qualification and by the Exit Level Outcomes.

    An RPL process may also be used to credit learners with Unit Standards in which they have developed the necessary competency as a result of workplace and experiential learning. RPL may also be used by learners, who are not in possession of a GETC or equivalent qualification, to gain access to the Qualification.

    Learners submitting themselves for RPL should be thoroughly briefed prior to the assessment, and will be required to submit a Portfolio of Evidence in the prescribed format to be assessed for formal recognition. 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.

    Access to the Qualification:

    Access to this qualification is open however learners should have access to a suitable workplace environment.

    Critical Cross-Field Outcomes:

    The qualification addresses all Critical Cross-Field Outcomes as embedded in the unit standards making up the qualification. 

    ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 
    Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:

    1.1 The concept of volunteerism is defined and described as it applies to the operational environment.
    1.2 Organisational policies and requirements relating to volunteerism are clarified from a personal and operational perspective.
    1.3 Specific operational protocols, reporting structures and requirements are understood as they apply to the environment in which services are provided.

    Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:

    2.1 Operational objectives of the project, initiative or event are clarified and understood in the context of the individual's role and responsibilities as a volunteer.
    2.2 Operational safety requirements are clarified as they apply to the individual's role, responsibilities and levels of authority.
    2.3 Ethical conduct is applied in the execution of individual tasks and responsibilities.
    2.4 Operational tasks and responsibilities are implemented according to identified standards and requirements.
    2.5 Administrative records in support of operational objectives are concluded according to operational standards and requirements.
    2.6 Success of the project, initiative or event is supported through active participation on an individual and team level.

    Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:

    3.1 The individual role and functions of team members are identified in terms of support of operational planning and objectives.
    3.2 Team interaction and feedback requirements are identified and maintained in order to meet operational standards and objectives.
    3.3 Tasks and responsibilities of the team are implemented and maintained according to identified time frames.

    4.3 Client queries are dealt with accurately and consistently.
    4.4 Special needs and the maintaining of customer care are considered in client interaction.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Integrated assessment at this level will evaluate the learner's ability to combine actions and ideas across a range of activities and knowledge areas. The integrated assessment must specifically assess the learner's ability to:
  • demonstrate competence by means of the practical application of the embedded knowledge in a manner that meets the required performance standards required.
  • illustrate a clear understanding of the concepts, theory and principles that underpin the practical action taken.

    The assessment will require assessment methods, which measure and evaluate evidence generated during on-the job activities. Because assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid and reliable; ensuring that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the qualification.

    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 or will work. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace, 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. Whenever possible the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the Unit Standards should be integrated and, during integrated assessment, the assessor should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment tools and methods. Combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies should be assessed. Assessment should further ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are evaluated in an integrated way.

    Assessors must assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience as the assessment process is capable of being applied to RPL, subject to the rules and criteria of the relevant ETQA. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Volunteer services in South Africa are unregulated and dependent on community, organisational and individual initiative. This results in under utilisation of resources. Our country would benefit enormously if a culture of volunteerism and participation in nation building, community service and participative transformation can be established.

    Research on training interventions for volunteers indicated a tendency towards shorter orientation and training interventions, in particular where skilled individuals and individuals such as senior citizens bring a vast range of know-how and experience to the table, are concerned. This is evident from training interventions offered in countries such as Britain, the United States of America, Canada, UK and Singapore. However, the need for training and skills development within the operational focus area appears to be a constant, even in developed countries with well-established volunteer service structures and participation.

    International best practice in volunteer operations training is found in United Nation's countries, especially the G7. The following comparability was made:

    USA and Canada:

    A "Volunteer Training Needs" survey conducted by Sigma Social Research in British Columbia, (incorporating empirical data from 20 established and 4 emerging volunteer centres) and a European Union study towards the promotion of volunteer services in EU member states, highlights the following training needs and requirements for individuals operating as volunteers:
  • Communication Skills.
  • Assertiveness training.
  • Conflict resolution.
  • Self care.
  • Facilitation skills.
  • Interviewing skills.
  • Computer literacy.
  • Basic knowledge of the organisation.
  • Teamwork.
  • Safety.
  • Ethics.
  • Crisis management.
  • Finance.

    When these identified needs are compared with the envisaged FETC: Volunteerism the following areas of alignment are identified:
  • Communication Skills: Communication Literacy as included in the fundamental component.
  • Conflict resolution: Solve problems, make decisions and implement solutions.
  • Computer literacy: Create, maintain and update record keeping systems.
  • Basic knowledge of the organisation: Conduct volunteer services in a specific operational environment.
  • Teamwork: Function in a team and Prioritise time and work for self and team.
  • Safety: Prevent and manage safety and emergency incidents.
  • Ethics: Incorporated in Principles of Volunteering.
  • Crisis management: Prevent and Manage safety and emergency incidents.
  • Finance: Numeric Literacy as included in the fundamental component.

    It was interesting to note that an understanding of volunteerism was not identified as a need and this could potentially be a result of volunteerism featuring so prominently in the countries from where information for comparison was researched.

    The envisaged qualification excludes the following training needs identified internationally:
  • Self care.
  • Facilitation skills.
  • Interviewing skills.
  • Assertiveness training.

    Instead, the addressing of specific South African needs and in particular, the focus of volunteering on the recipients of services, the following competency areas were included:
  • Care for Customers.
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of HIV/AIDS in a workplace and its effects on a business sub-sector, own organisation and a specific workplace.
  • Analyse external factors influencing people with special needs.

    It should be noted that the areas of focus incorporated in the envisaged qualification reflects good alignment in terms of a range of shorter courses identified for comparison of international practices:

    United Kingdom:

    Volunteering England identifies the following learning focus areas:
  • Volunteer policies.
  • Health and Safety.
  • Problem solving.
  • Equal opportunities and Diversity.
  • Induction including:
    > History of the organisation.
    > Services orientation.
    > Client groups identification.
    > Clarification of the roles and responsibilities of volunteers.

    Singapore:

    Similar competency focus areas are supported in terms of information obtained from the "Senior Corps Tech Centre", a service of the Corporation of National and Community Service providing support services to volunteer organisations predominantly using volunteer services offered by Senior Citizens in the United States of America; whilst the shorter training interventions indicated as focus areas by the Singapore Civil Defence Volunteers programme focuses more extensively on areas of specialisation relevant to the operational environment.

    China:

    Comparison with the approach followed for the training of volunteers for the Olympic Games, and in particular the training envisaged for the 2008 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, indicates the following general training areas:
  • Basic knowledge about the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
  • Training on the history and culture of China.
  • Knowledge of skills in the service for the disabled.
  • Knowledge and skills for emergency rescue.
  • General knowledge of Olympic Events.
  • General knowledge of Paralympic Events.

    In this instance, the specific focus area in which voluntary services will take place is highlighted and it is interesting to note that there is direct access on the official website.

    Australia:

    Perusal of the approach followed for the training of 50 000 Olympic volunteers in Australia highlights the following training focus areas:
  • Orientation.
  • Job Specific training.
  • Venue Training.
  • Event leadership.
  • Team development - (directed to each functional area of Volunteering).

    The above examples stresses the importance of enabling the application of personal and life skills within a specific operational context to enable event specific training - this approach as followed in the envisaged qualification indicates good comparison with international trends in volunteer training programmes and is enabled by the inclusion of a range of specialisation streams in the elective component of the qualification.

    Although a direct comparison with the Degree in Voluntary Sector Studies Programme offered by the Virtual University in the United Kingdom is not possible because of the differences in NQF Level, it adds value by highlighting the included learning areas.

    The qualification consists of compulsory core modules and optional modules on each of the three levels making up the qualification to a total value of 360 credits. Comparison indicates good alignment in terms of the following focus areas:
  • Interpersonal skills for Volunteers.
  • Organisational Structure.
  • Interpersonal skills in practice.
  • Introduction to Information Technology.
  • Supervision of group workers.
  • Advanced client based voluntary practice.
  • Experiencing disability.
  • Facing the challenges of HIV/AIDS.

    Specific subject areas where comparison was not enabled, include areas such as Volunteer Management, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, Religious as well as Organisational Change Management components offered as first, second and third year courses.

    TAFE New South Wales provide 530 course units/modules applicable to specialised areas in which voluntary services are often evident. These include specific modules on volunteering such as unit SRCCRD005B "Apply the principles and issues of volunteering" and unit 1846H "Working with volunteers".

    Units are found in programme and vocational areas including Community Service, Health promotion, Tourism, Recreation, Sport courses including Community Recreation, Fitness, Mental health work, Disability work, Youth work, and Alcohol and other drugs and mental health practices. Although a separate full qualification for Volunteerism could not be accessed, the importance of provision for skills associated with volunteerism can be inferred from the evident inclusion of volunteerism study units as electives in such a broad range of qualifications.

    This approach is presently not evident from a South African perspective, where the envisaged qualification will enable the acquiring of volunteerism related skills both in terms of the application of skills and competencies obtained and the potential accessing of such areas of learning through articulation and portability.

    Again, the strong culture of volunteerism from an Australian perspective could be the reason why the incorporation of units enabling volunteering specific skills is included on a relatively broad scale. This might also explain the difficulties in identifying volunteerism qualifications in isolation as research indicated that the majority of qualifications available in the field of volunteerism focus on the "Management of Volunteers" rather than the provision of skills for individuals operating as volunteers.

    SADC:

    Volunteering South Africa (VOLSA) reported to the United Nations Volunteering (UNV) division on the requirements for national policy development and structuring of volunteering shortly after the conclusion of the Department of Social Development's "Year of Volunteering" initiative in 2002, whilst a SADC study conducted by Volunteer and Service Enquiry Southern Africa (VOSESA) in a cross national study investigating the use of volunteerism in Botswana, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe draws attention to the fact that civic service and volunteering programmes are growing in South Africa but that promotion of volunteerism and the development of volunteers in respect of practical and life skills require attention. No specific details on training requirements or offerings could however be identified over and above the affirmation that training is a critical success factor to volunteer programme implementation.

    Conclusion:

    Within the context of 2010 FIFA World Cup, the National Government's goals for the implementation of volunteer programmes, the vision of establishing an African Volunteer Corps via a United Nations Development programme (presently supported by our Department of Social Services) as well as the identified need to address volunteerism training and development, for application beyond 2010, the envisaged qualification enables opportunities for training and development which is aligned with international practices in volunteer training.

    Not only does the qualification compare favourably with the learning areas identified for volunteer training identified from internationally based research studies, it provides for the specific focus areas to enable the addressing of skills from a South African perspective. In particular the focus on customer care, understanding of diversity and the dealing with realities such as HIV/AIDS enables the gaining of relevant personal and life skills as well as the operational competencies required in a specific environment in which voluntary services are provided.

    The international comparison against shorter interventions as observed in a number of volunteer organisations abroad, shows good alignment, and the provision of an option for a full qualification once again can be motivated and supported from a South African perspective where formal volunteerism is clearly in its infancy.

    The South African Youth Service programme (focusing on volunteers between the ages of 16 and 35) clearly states their aim to utilise volunteerism as a vehicle for the enabling of experience gain and the promotion of learning that enable participants to, undertake activities to the standard required by the service in which they are involved, access future learning, access economic empowerment and be active citizens.

    The above clearly supports the need for a qualification enabling volunteer training from a South African perspective.

    It is thus critically important to ensure that volunteer training and a qualification developed to address training interventions for the acquiring of skills and competencies not only compare well with good practices observed internationally, it should likewise enable the addressing of the objectives identified for volunteerism from a South African and African perspective.

    All information obtained in the conducting of international practices considered, there is no particular area of focus identified that raises concern in terms of the meeting of standards of training for volunteerism internationally.

    From a perspective of the recurring indications of and confirmation of the need for training of volunteers, this qualification could enable a first formal full qualification for volunteerism which could add benefit not only from a South African perspective but could also bring benefit from an African perspective in the advancement of an African Volunteer Corps.

    PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THESE LEARNING PROGRAMMES: 
    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. 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.
